A Judge's Plea for Pot

In today's New York Times is a provocative and empathic OPED piece by Gustin L. Reichbach, justice of the State Supreme Court. In this piece he describes his experience with pancreatic cancer and his use of and need for marijuana to help him stand the pain and nausea.

This is an important issue in healthcare. Reichbach writes, "This is not a law and order issue; it is a medical and human rights issue."

Take a look at this article and please forward this into the healthcare community.
