How medical is medical marijuana?
”It was very difficult to get my prescription,” said Jennawae McLean, who uses medical marijuana mainly for chronic pain due to arthritis. “A doctor was willing to prescribe me Percocets and Humira and Lyrica and different pills like this, but they weren’t willing to prescribe cannabis which has no recorded deaths, no overdoses, no negative long-term side effects. It just doesn’t make sense.”
