Why I'm Against Medical Marijuana

Michael Kirsch, MD

I have already opined on my disapproval of a medical marijuana law recently passed in Ohio. One of my points in that piece is that I did not want legislators making medical decisions for us. They can’t even do their own jobs.

I am not against medical marijuana; I am for science. The currency of determining the safety and efficacy of a medicine should be medical evidence, not faith, hope or belief.

Marijuana is a Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Schedule
