yes, i have a regular doctor, i have been on and off pharmeceutical medications, i am currently being treated with alternative medicine and chinese herbs, and have seen my doctor twice in the last few months. i could not take my regular meds because they were causing me alot of discomfort, i had to stop.

I dont think that it should be an issue. If a person is against and doesnt trust the pharmaceutical companies and their untested dope then they shouldnt be forced to take that shit.
Doctors are lobbied and paid buy the pharmies to pedal their Government sponsored and approved dope and very few doctors have an open mind to Medical Marijuana because of this.
Your best bet is to move to Vermont or, GET INVOLVED! Contact your local NORML chapter and help to pass the laws needed to Legalize It!!!

H.R 5843: capwiz.com/norml2/issues/alert/
This measure, if passed, would strip the federal government of its authority to arrest responsible adult cannabis consumers. NORML founder and Legal Director Keith Stroup worked extensively with Frank’s staff to write this important legislation, which represents the first cannabis decriminalization measure introduced in Congress in 24 years.
