Supplementing the first question: Yes – Provided there are strict guidelines regulating the type and dosage prescribed and further regulating which doctors are permitted to write the prescriptions.
Supplementing the second question: Yes – but it must be for very specific illnesses only (terminal or malignant illnesses where other traditional methods have proved ineffective). Cannot just be for “chronically ill” patients because that is too broad of a category.
Supplementing the third question: No – The delivery method should be strictly based on the medical purpose for which the marijuana has been prescribed.
Supplementing the fourth question: Yes – as long as the specific illnesses are clearly defined (terminal or malignant illnesses where other traditional methods have proved ineffective). Cannot just be for “chronically ill” patients because that is too broad of a category.
Supplementing the fifth question: No - The unregulated use of any intoxicating, controlled substance is harmful to invidiuals as well as the community in many ways that can cause injury or death. There is no need to add to this problem by permitting the recreational use of yet another drug.
