Because not EVERYONE smokes weed. Even if it's legal, there's still going to be people who are ignorant of its potential. Maybe a doctor might see the symptoms and say "before we stick you on pharmaceuticals with potentially serious side effects, try smoking a joint, and let me know how you feel".My point exactly. Thank you.
Just legalize it. Don't put medical science in the middle of it.
So if weed was completely legalized, you would prefer that a doctor still not be allowed to recommend weed to a patient on the record?
If weed were legalized, then why would a Doctor even need to be involved? People have been using alcohol for centuries for "stage freight" or "social anxiety". You get it at a bar, no the doctors office.
But to answer your question: yes.
It doesn't have to be an official prescription, just a recommendation.
