Talk:Medical marijuana
From RationalWiki
[edit] Negative Slant
I'm reluctant to rewrite a whole article and I'm not sure how much of this is my personal (pro marijuana) bias but this article seems to imply that medical majiuana is alterntive medicine and quackery. To quote (steal) from WP (excuse the broken links)
Dozens of medical organizations have endorsed allowing patients access to medical marijuana with their physicians' approval. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The American College of Physicians - America's second largest physicians group[1]
- Leukemia & Lymphoma Society - America's second largest cancer charity.[1]
- American Academy of Family Physicians[1]
- American Public Health Association[1]
- American Psychiatric Association[1]
- American Nurses Association[1]
- British Medical Association[1]
- AIDS Action[1]
- American Academy of HIV Medicine[1]
- Lymphoma Foundation of America[1]
- Health Canada[1]
Doesn't this imply that medical marijuana is a valid, medically endorsed treatment? Silver Sloth 10:55, 12 June 2008 (EDT)
