Hello everyone.

A recent report described a tragic case where a man became dependent on prescribed medicinal cannabis after treatment through a private provider, with his family later questioning the level of care and follow-up involved.

In the middle of the discussion, Curaleaf Clinic was referenced as part of the wider debate around how these services operate. The story raises difficult questions about mental health screening, remote consultations, and long-term monitoring when potent treatments are prescribed.

Where should responsibility sit if a patient’s condition worsens? Do private clinics need stricter safeguards, or clearer accountability, to prevent similar outcomes in the future?

Maybe we should ban both.

Why, let millions of people suffer because someone clown claims he is addicted to marijuana? I take Adderall. That means amphetamines. Says it right on the bottle. Same effect as meth. I could not hold down a job without it. With it I am just fine. People have serious medical issues that benefit from it and you want to victimize people over one clown?

You don't "ban" marijuana. YOU THROW PEOPLE IN PRISON AND RUIN THEIR LIVES AND FAMILIES.

It is called criminalize and it does not work. The guy is an idiot. Alcohol is exponentially more addictive. We criminalized that and where did that get us?

I have ADHD myself. Although it is now a recognized condition by the mental health field, I have encountered a great deal of skepticism about whether or not ADHD is an real neurological condition or whether it is a fictional construct invented by "Big Pharma" to sell potentially addictive drugs to adults and children. I have heard this idea repeated by many people. Having been a special education teacher as well as a licensed counselor I have observed the symptomology of ADHD both in myself as well as in many who come to me for help and advice.

I was diagnosed first by a comprehensive history of my attentional problems going back to childhood. This is necessary because ADHD is understood to be a developmental disorder. Perhaps a more important confirmation was provided when I took a Continuous Computerized tests that measured direct performance measuring on a series of tasks designed to how well I could maintain my attention in real time. Such tests - the CCPT or the TOVA require a person to maintain their attention on tasks for as long as 10-20 minutes. These tests provide statistical evidence by comparing the individual's performance with that of the general population.

Your post makes leads me to suspect that you have no rationale for advocating Marijuana as a THERAPEUTIC AGENT other than the fact YOU LIKE GETTING HIGH. If you had better reasons, I assume you would have mentioned them. Instead, you reason that, since the stimulant meds used to treat ADHD and marijuana can both be called "DRUGS" they both should be legal. This is a non-sequiter

When I was a kid with adults pushing pot/cannabis/marijuana on me, they told me it was not an addictive drug like XYZ.
Those people demonstrated that it clearly was addictive regardless of the one "scientific" so called report, probably done by a pot head who was biased to come up with results matching his proclivity. They went onto harder drugs and most chronic alcohol addictions followed by broken families.

From what we see, medical cannabis is Rxd to anyone who calls a phone number to the right MD. When I was a kid, the pot was mostly mild home-grown weed. Now it's been bred to the point far beyond that and much is laced with cheap and deadly fentanyl.

One more of many issues is that it is the gateway to endless lifetime of drugs. Any pharmacist or MD will tell you that they like the loooong term cash flow.
Over 90% of those suffering from the dreadful mental illness of schizophrenia started as cannabis smokers. The correlation shows that this substance might be directly causing the hallucinations. After all, it's classified as what?

I'm beating a dead horse because there are thousands of dead people that trusted MDs (Murder Drs) to help them in my state alone. The MDs exponentially surpass the illegal drug cartels in lethality.
Don't trust them.
There are compassionate people who have solutions to the challenges that we face, who won't push pot or fentanyl like the MDs.
