I totally agree! It is such a frustrating situation and so politically misguided. Thanks for sharing about your experience @mtgmisfit - Sorry you had to deal with this miseducated doctor. I had a similar experience once when being treated by doctors who worked for the university I was attending. I was getting sicker and sicker from being on benzos and antidepressants for years, but my doctors were convinced it was the cannabis that I had started using to deal with the effects of my medications! When I got off the benzos, things got waay better - but I had to go find a better primary care doctor (one I ended up paying for out of pocket) who understood it wasn't the cannabis. He helped me with the withdrawal process safely instead of trying to stop any of my medications all at once.

Grateful that you're a cannabis journalist so that you can help bring awareness to these issues. at some level, it becomes a basic human rights issue. Alcohol is bad for diabetics, but you wouldn't take aware their blood glucose monitor and insulin if they were an alcoholic.
