Connecticut's chronic disease patients score victory. Connecticut on Friday became the 17th U.S. state to legalize the medical use of marijuana. The state's Governor Dannel Malloy signed into law legislation allowing licensed physicians to certify an adult patient's use of marijuana for medical purposes, according to a statement from the governor's ...

Thomas Sowell: Big Lies In Politics
Unrealistic hopes spawn liars. The fact that so many successful politicians are such shameless liars is not only a reflection on them, it is also a reflection on us. When the people want the impossible, only liars can satisfy them, and only in the short run. The current outbreaks of riots in Europe show what happens when the truth catches up with both ... MORE

Gustin L Reichbach: A Judge's Plea For Medical Marijuana
A law that requires the innocent to suffer. Three and a half years ago, on my 62nd birthday, doctors discovered a mass on my pancreas. It turned out to be Stage 3 pancreatic cancer. I was told I would be dead in four to six months. Today I am in that rare coterie of people who have survived this long with the disease. But I did not foresee that after having dedicated ... MORE

Julie Stachowiak: Confirmed. Medical Marijuana Helps MS
Could scientists know more than politicians? I'll admit, I found it a little weird to see this all over the news of the multiple sclerosis world. I kind of thought we already pretty much knew that marijuana helped with certain MS symptoms. I guess the big news here is that this was a well-run, rigorous (albeit small) study. In this study, published in the ... MORE

Katie Kieffer: Why Doctors Hate ObamaCare
Your doctor won’t tell you this when you’re sitting in his office, so I will: He hates Obamacare. It’s time you know why your doctor is concerned about Obamacare. Doctors already live in constant fear of malpractice lawsuits. The last thing they want to do is stick their necks out and publicly attack Obamacare. Doctors also do not have an effective D.C. lobby ... MORE
Debra Saunders: Obama, The Happy Drug Warrior
The president's war against the states. Why is the federal government under President Obama arguably tougher on medical marijuana operations than it was under George W. Bush? That's the question that antidrug-war groups have been asking themselves for months. In 2008, antiprohibitionists thought an Obama administration would not tread on medical-marijuana ... MORE
Jeffrey A Singer: The Coming Medical Ethics Crisis
The medical profession and your health put at risk. For the past several years, the medical profession has been undergoing a disturbing transformation. The process was begun by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in an effort to control exploding Medicare costs, and was accelerated by the passage of the Patient Protection and ...

John Stossel: The FDA Kills
It would be nice if politicians and regulators left us alone. But they don't. They always want to do more. Recently, there have been shortages of some medicines. Cancer patients can't get drugs they need. Why not? One reason is that a big drugmaker shut down for a year in part to meet Food and Drug Administration rules. The FDA makes it so expensive and difficult to sell ... MORE
