Dr. Peter M. Blecher – Medicinal Cannabis in the Workplace
Patients are not looking to get high. They are looking to get well.” Pain management specialist and cannabis advocate, Dr. Peter M. Blecher is the Chief Medical …
The message may be good, but his personal ability to practice can be directly harmful to patients, given situations I've seen and heard of at Oshawa General Hospital's Emergency Room (Lakeridge). Highly recommend getting a different doctor than this guy.
Considering Dr. Blecher looks at those in the emerge, even if they have a medicinal script (from one of his fellow colleagues in the same clinic) as a pain seeking issue. He should not be in any sort of practice where he deals with the pain of patients.
I'm getting a little tired of the medical marijuana narrative as a path to legalisation, it does more harm than good because you now have to convince a bunch of yahoo doctors who think people who can google can't possibly be knowledgeable about their own illness, or be an expert in their own suffering and possible solutions, coming in for a checkup (what he infers really). Basically, the narrative should be no one should put laws legislating what people do to their bodies… if something you put in your body that gets you high also has medicinal properties, so be it… This just delays things for the rest of the population that use it all the time, who have to either get it illegally, or lie to get a "medicinal marijuana prescription". If the plant does have medicinal properties, someone who smokes daily may have chronic pains but he never even knew!!! meaning he's not a burden on the healthcare system…
Oh and another thing, if medical marijuana gets legalized before social use and people rush to their doctors to get a "prescription", who do you think will pay for the visit? Your taxes… well the global health care cost will rise….
3:37, yep definitely a doctor there. if pot becomes medicine, no pharmacist will confuse a doctor scribble borderlining on street graffiti on a prescription pad that says pot, to mean anything else. we'll save millions in bad prescriptions alone
