"God bless you, Pat Robertson" - Fareed Zakaria agrees with Robertson on legalizinig marijuana

[Wezil]

Why don't those large scale studies exist Doc?

[Ming]

Moi. If they legalize it that means they're going to dump the job of determing who should get it on doctors, even though there are no decent studies on it's medicinal merits and flaws. ( By which I mean large scale, prospective, double-blinded. ) Basically every a**hole doper is going to be walking into my clinic trying to tell me that I have to prescribe marijuana for him.

That's assuming that they will only legalize it for medical reasons. If they simply make it like alcohol, no problem.
