In Illinois doctors have not been exposing themselves to risks in a very repressive medical pot bill passed by the legislation and signed by the governor which requires two doctors.....one treating for a period of time, certain conditions which I would qualify, but the patient has to be fingerprinted. They are running news stories that sick people cannot get docs to sign the requisite forms. My doc at Northwestern does not believe that it has been proven with competent medical studies that pot is helpful. Two doctor friends locally will not prescribe for the same reason, but personally they do not want any more liability with the punitive nature of the Illinois bill which makes doctors and patients feel like they are criminals and subject to criminal sanctions for violation of the act. In regard to driving. Opiates will clear your system in 24-48 hours, but THC can linger in the body on a blood test for weeks. As my States Attorney Daughter has warned me.....if I go with THC I will have to stop driving because under Illinois law, a blood test which reveals any level, is a presumption of impairment in a DUI.
Sorry, Bob you just have very low level aptitudes in conceptualizing. If the goal is to get a comprehensive legislative agenda which comprehensively addresses the drug war, prison populations, and injustice and inequality in our criminal justice system, ad hoc piece meal executive orders are counter productive. As states pass pot laws and raise tax revenues and lower crime rates, the absurdity of pot being in the same category as heroin will create the demand for legislative change. Hypocrisy as seen from a checker player is a brilliant cogent policy strategy for a chess player. I get it. You remind us regularly that you once won a tic tac toe game, and have won some checker games. I heard in the streets of Iceland they whisper.......if only Bob played Chess......he could have been a contender.
