Hey,I am a cna and will be taking a 55 year old man with M.S he can only move his right hand barly and has no control of any other body parts. I live in ny now ad I was wondering if it would be possible to gt him a prescripttion for marijuana. Or if not a presription being able to buy some for him leaglly. Any help please send to my email DomFrasca@aim.com. Thanks!

I seen your post, it does not look like you will be able to get legal marijuana in NY for your patient at this time. The bill is not law yet.

But for a patient like yours it sounds like he does not have time.

you could go to Canada, check out this link:

I would like to address this to: Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno (R-Brunswick)
IF- you could imagine your life being haulted by a deadly disease at the age of 30, while you are in a upswing in your life and the Dr tells you that you have AIDS and you are going to die, not have children, not do the things you hoped for, besides that you will take these drugs and not look or feel too good either. You believe this and you are likely to take these POISON drugs and die. A prescription for death.

I educated myself and went to Switzerland, Germany and other health related places out of the country- I am now 47 and have wasting from 6 months of those dreaded drugs. I wake up nauseous and can't eat.
it would help to have medical marijuana.

I think that medical marijuana is a threat to the pharmecuetical companies...botttom line!

Lets go 100%. I am a senior at my high school doing a reseach project on medical marijuana. I am 100% for this. While during my reasearch i have came across a lady i met who has just had her cancer treatment revoked. They told her that it is not helping and that it is waisting money. I beleive she needs the help. what dose the pharmacies look like handing out morphine, but its not ok for medical marijuana. Or even simpler Alcohol is a form of drugs and thats not even for medical use, people need medical help for that legalized drug.

* I do beleive that there should be a strick distribution of this drug if it is legalized, and the goverentment should ask the public on their beleifs. Its not all about the goverenment. I live in NY and have never herd anything about this medical marijuana bill they are fighting. I would deffidently be a supporter or 1 helping vote.

Ive seen my family after surgey or just in survery pain and just get pumped full of morphine whitch does serious damages to the mind and body some times permentaly, But they wont let some won who is in pain every day by day smoke marijuana to get rid of the pain and make you feel a lot better with no con's.
No person of this earth has ever died by marijuana but my granma and my cousin who had cancer both died by morphine and people die by morphine every year and most people who have cancer die by morphine.
Do you realy think thats how they deserve to have died that way maybe they could of lived longer if it wasn't for the morphine.
Marijuana is the perfect pain killer and has no deadly side effects. I am from Rochester NY and i believe that it should be leagalized for people in pain.And strongly suggest the house to legalize this bill.

How can anyone take Conservative Republicans in the Executive Branch of New York State Gov. seriously ?
I work in the transportation business here is Syracuse, NewYork . An individual who has the right ID can buy Beer, Wine and Hardliquor at a gas station," these are people most likely driving down the same streets as you, and allowed the legaI purchase of alcohol beverage and getting into cars - open container laws my ass !! ", buying alcohol beverages that people should only be allowed to buy in bars or grocery stores, and drink in Bars, or use at home, but Conservatives Republicans have trouble approving medicinal marijuana for the seriously ill .
I say take the alcohol beverages out of the gas stations, and approve medicinal marijuana..., too hard to take educated law makers that think any other way seriously when I am at the voting booth.

Gov. Eliot Spitzer should visit with seriously ill people that want to be able to use Medicinal Marijuana. Spitzer would make an enormous impression on all of us to sign in approval of Medicinal Marijuana irreguardless of what anyone thinks!

im incredibley upset at the world. there is so many greedy people that overlook amazing things this PLANT can do because they might lose a buck.
I have a perfect situation for example: i belive my father absolutely needs to use marijuana to extend his life. he has had this brain tumor for a few years now. hes had surgery where they take some of the tumor out. guess what? IT DIDNT WORK. it grew back even worse. guess what else? there was also malpractice involved and my father had a stroke during surgery. marijuana completely rules out any chance of malpractice Which does happen often believe it or not(a DR. usually wont just tell you "i kind of messed up your brain, sorry?")....the facts are that marijuana can shrink and prevent tumors and does so many other incredible miracles.its been proven to work so why isnt it legal for people that really need it?

If anyone that can do something about this sees this-CAN YOU PLEASE DO WHATS RIGHT. MY FATHER WILL DIE EARLY DO TO A BRAIN TUMOR THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. I WANT MY FATHER TO SEE MY FUTURE CHILDREN GROW UP.I DON'T WANT TO LOSE MY FATHER. MARIJUANA CAN SAVE MORE THAN JUST THE PATIENTS LIVES. THEIR DEATHS DEEPLY AFFECT FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
-GOD PUT MARIJUANA ON THIS PLANET FOR A REASON, LETS START SAVING LIVES.

Total idiots. Total fools. No one can even deny it. They are trying to control what we put in our bodies? Nice try government, but you did not create life. Next time you wanna try and tell me what I can and cant put in my body, ask God first (if there is one).

I read all the comments, I pretty much have nothing new really to say about the subject. I think we all can agree we want to use Marijuana to enjoy the feeling and the relaxation and joy it brings to me and you. I enjoy smoking Marijuana because I know that it does not harm your body at all. Watch the movie "Super High Me" it is about a person who smoked Marijuana for plenty of years, quit smoking for thirty days took a bunch of physical and mental test. Then smoked Marijuana for thirty days after and took the same test and actually increased his ability in some test. I really don't see a problem with Marijuana at all other than the fact that it is illegal. Just think what harm would there be if world wide marijuana was Legal, and you applied the same rules and principles as Alcohol has. People kill/hurt people because the plant/flower is illegal. It is not the plant/flower that kills/hurts people. I want the war on Marijuana to stop there is no reasoned for it at all. Now you say to me "It's a gateway drug" from research on other drugs they don't cause Happiness,Relaxation,Joy,Love,Empathy,ect... They cause recklessness,Blackouts,Severe brain damage,ect... So as long as there are simple laws and regulations and certain Strains of the plant you can have and grow, there should be absolutely no problem with legalizing Marijuana. Now for Medical purposes, I feel for the patients and family's that are sick and in pain. I'm sorry but all these Painkillers do is ruin the patients chances and cost hundreds of dollars for what. Marijuana does the body no harm, it relaxes you and gets rid of the pain with no harm done to the body. by making people feel like jello and disabled is not right. I would love to see sick people Happy joyful and filled with more hope because there not disabled or a piece of jello. Please listen to the people!
