Patients using medical marijuana can be denied transplants

This is just barbaric! Talk about self righteous twits. If this man dies the 'doctors' should be prosecuted for murder.

With so many people on waiting lists, it does seem reasonable to choose those first those who voluntarily live within the bounds required for successful after-transplant life.

I bet if he had been given oxycontin they wouldn't care. It's to cheap to treat patients with marijuana. Even though there aren't as many side effects. It's conservative vs Liberal. Drugs that make money are more acceptable than those who are natural. It's business as usual. I think that it's disgusting that they would treat him with a drug only to deny him a cure to his ailment because of the treatment. They should have disclosed this to him before they prescribed it to him.
