The N.J. Senate has approved the use of marijuana as a pain reliever to those who suffer from chronic illnesses. Yes,
legal access. Medicinal marijuana has been shown to reduce pain and nausea in patients suffering from cancer, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis and HIV/AIDS when other drugs don't. Critics say that the measure would excuse and promote illegal drug use. This bill was approved 22-16, around 15 minutes after the discussion on the senate floor on Febuary 23, 2009. New Jersey would become the 14th state if the legislation is once approved.
I opine that if the patients are responsible enough, they can use this drug. Before prescribing marijuana, doctors should first take a look at the patient's permanent record or some record to see whether or not the patient has violated the law. This record should indicate how responsible or not responsible the patient is. If the patient is not responsible enough, then he/she might endanger the lives of himself/herself and/or others If the doctor feels that the patient is responsible enough, they may prescribe this drug to the patient. Careful thought should be taken before prescribing marijuana. This decision requires alot of thought and consideration before making a final decision. This is a question of life or death. If the patient is unsure of whether or not he/she should use marijuana, he/she should not take any chances. The patient should stick to the other pain relieving drugs.
