The Cheaters Ruin It For Everyone
-
This guy has cancer, and he needs a liver transplant. But the hospital took him off the list for a transplant because he uses medical marijuana and skip the drug test. This becomes a difficult issue because the hospital says that it's seeing a lot of people coming in with medical marijuana cards who aren't using pot because they're sick, but because they're stoners. And stoners, the hospital says, are bad risks for transplants, because they're most likely not going to stick to their medications, and are generally unreliable in the hospital's experience. On the other hand, there are people who legitimately need pain relief and use pot for that purpose; should they be punished because the law is being flouted? (Los Angeles Times)
