A vape a day keeps the doctor away.
The
newly-formed Doctors for Cannabis Regulation (DFCR) will call for the
legalization of marijuana for recreational use on Monday. The group
includes more than 50 physicians and counts a former surgeon general as
well as faculty at prestigious medical schools among its ranks.
Members
of DFCR believe that the legal, regulated sale of marijuana is better
for public health than the current system of prohibition and
criminalization.
The doctors claim
that occasional marijuana use is "generally benign" and much less
harmful than alcohol and tobacco use. They also believe that "the burden
of cannabis prohibition falls disproportionately upon communities of
color and the nation's poor" and criminalizing marijuana does not
prevent children from using it.
Not to mention, legalized pot has dramatically lowered the demand and cost of illegal marijuana from Mexico and is a great job creator.
These
physicians are not in the minority. According to a 2015 Medscape poll,
most American doctors approve of full legalization, not just medical
marijuana.
So vape up if you want. Doctor's orders.
