Tread lightly doc, I don't think Mexico has passed a "Medical Marijuana" law yet.

Talking about it and advocating it are two different things. I am not advocating anything personally to do with marijuana but if my patients decide to discuss it, that is part of patient rights. They also make their own health decisions and I don't advocate smoking cigarettes much less marijuana because marijuana has been clinically proven to cause more lung damage when smoked than cigarettes. Everyone has the freedom to make their own decisions and the physiology behind the endocannabinoid system is very interesting and I look forward to hearing about it.

Not even the government agrees with your conclusion on this.

I think we've had this discussion before and the research I have done shows mixed reviews but ultimately I don't think smoking anything is a good thing. That being said some patients get profound relief from whatever they are smoking and is their decision.

I think it's fair to say that smoking marijuana, could cause some lung damage, but there is absolutely zero evidence that it causes more damage than cigarettes, which kill many thousands of people every year.
