“I find it ridiculous that as a doctor, I’m able to prescribe dozens of medications with potent and dangerous side effects much more adverse than marijuana, which is currently illegal. Some examples of Schedule II drugs I’m currently able to prescribe are morphine, cocaine, PCP, methadone, and methamphetamine. “

Quoted from Deborah LaBeau’s speech to the Iowa Board of Pharmacy at the Iowa City hearing. Deborah is an OB/GYN practicing in Dubuque, Iowa. She was an Army doctor for 15 years, as well.

    I like to think that I’m speaking for many of my colleagues who hesitate to come forward because of this prejudice. When I polled several of my fellow physicians, they confirmed this belief.
