The question of whether or not to consider marijuana a viable medical treatment remains a hot button issue. In states like California, medical marijuana clubs have flourished despite their federal illegality. Should the federal government allow states to make their own decisions, or is marijuana nothing more than a dangerous narcotic?

    Physicians often don't know much about drugs

    While physicians like Dr Voth often pose as experts on the efect of drugs , they are generally rather poorly educated about them. I ought to kow, I'm an MD myself.

    If I know something about drugs, it is because I am also a PhD, Pharmacologist/toxicologist with a master's degree in psychopharmacology.
