Comments on: RIP http://www.theagitator.com/2008/05/02/rip-5/ It rankles me when somebody tries to tell somebody what to do.

Perhaps your medical professionals trump the one quoted in a related article. BTW, "medical professional" covers quite a bit of area, most of it irrelevant.

Like I said, it has nothing to do with the drug war or whether or not marijuana is legal or should be. Apparently, according to the doctors who are in the know, people who use marijuana are not good candidates. That's part of the consequences of choice I guess. Funny that when personal choice, consequences and the war on drugs conflict, we get this kind of posturing. Paratrooper,

Any medical training? Marijuana has no effect on organ viability. Many transplant canidates take Marinol, a synthetic version of THC to try and gain weight. Please remember that in this particular case marijuana was legally perscribed by a doctor. patrick – Do you even know what your talking about? Any medical training?

You say the negatives are overshadowed by the positives, I guess that's all in how you look it at it. If I needed a transplant and couldn't get it because of my marijuana use, I might have a slightly different view of what outweighed what. I guess all lthe libertarians here forget their beliefs when they conflict. I’m talking about the effects of marijuana on the viability of transplant organs.

Brilliant. Mindblowingly Brilliant. so he recieved a death sentence because he made a choice that a government irrationally condemns as illegal, even while allowing the choice to be a legal remedy given the situation?

Are you talking about the positive effects that it gives as a medical treatment? Off course it has negative side effects (overshadowed by its benefits), so does chemo. Wake the fuck up.

His use of marijuana made him a poor candidate because of the effects of marijuana not its legal status. He had the freedom to choose another medication, but didn't. Personal responsibility at play in this one. It has nothing to do with the drug war. His use of marijuana made him a poor candidate because of the effects of marijuana not its legal status.
