Here is an email exchange between me and a friend regarding this story. Let me know what you think,

Wash. to set medical marijuana limits - Yahoo! News

From Friend:
Here's another blog-worthy story for you. It's not enough, apparently, that a doctor prescribe the dope, the State is going to dictate to the doctor/patient how much is too much regardless of the doctor's medical opinion, the patient's individual condition and tolerances, etc. Maybe there are some other medications that the government could also regulate like this? Next time your child needs antibiotics for an ear infection (or worse, a double ear infection) maybe the government will let the doctor know how much Amoxicillin is too much.

First off, Thank you for sending this my way,

Second, I believe you have a blog and are very capable of pointing this out yourself to your loyal readers (Note to reader, his blog appears on my blogroll, but has not been updated since March)

Third, I think the government is in a very procarious situation with regards to how much pot is the right amount. If I had to wager a guess, I am sure the FDA or some other regulartory body already has suggested doses for Amoxicillin and every other prescription drug avaialbe in the US, since the government needs to hedge against a frivolous lawsuit by a wronged consumer, who was over or under prescribed dosage.

Fourth, if you want an issue, I am in agreement with Michael Moore, while promoting his new movie "Sicko" who said how a patient is treated should be between the doctor and the patient, not between the doctor, patient and insurance company.
