WTF??
Marijuana has been approved by the medical profession for the treatment of various medical problems.
aka: IT'S MEDICALLY APPROVED.
I take 5 prescription medications per day and I smoke POT daily (I am 'legal' to buy marijuana.).
The 'law' can care less about me taking these 5 Rxs in public but I can get busted for taking my 6th prescribed medication (pot) in public.
STUPID!

****Seizure Victim Barred From School After Taking Prescribed Marijuana Lozenges!!!!
(Boy Caught In Catch 22 Regarding Medical Marijuana Prescription.)
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A Colorado Springs high school student who suffers from seizures that can last 24 hours or more has been barred from returning to class any day he takes marijuana throat lozenges to ease his condition.
Previously the boy was prescribed morphine and other narcotics but doctors found the ingredient in marijuana works better to control his seizures, the Colorado Independent reported Monday.
"They say if he takes his medicine it is 'internal possession' and he cannot come back to school," the teenager's father told the online news blog.
The boy, whose name was not released to protect his identity, missed most of last year after he was diagnosed with diaphragmatic and axial myoclonus, the boy's father told the Independent.
The boy attends Sierra High School in the Harrison School District 2.
The district would not allow the student to possess or consume his prescribed medicine on campus so the boy's family had him transferred to Sierra, where he could walk home to take his medication, as needed, the Independent reported.
That's when the boy found out he would not be allowed to return to class once he consumed a prescribed marijuana lozenge.
A district spokesman said no student may possess or consume medical marijuana on school grounds, per district policy.
