Utah Attorney General approves of medical marijuana

Utah Attorney General Shurtleff approves of medical marijuana after battling cancer
June 12, 2011 - rawstory.com

Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff said he would support the legalization of medical marijuana after experiencing months of intensive cancer treatment.

"Until you've experienced chemo, you can't describe exactly how it feels," he said Thursday on KSL Newsradio's Doug Wright Show. "It's kind of like having the flu because you ache all over. But it's worse than that... Everything feels awful."

The Salt Lake Tribute reported that Shurtleff was declared cancer-free last week, after battling Stage 3 colon cancer since December 2010 and undergoing three types of chemotherapy.

Shurtleff said never used marijuana himself, but had talked to other patients who had traveled out-of-state to receive marijuana treatment.

"They give you pills to help you with the nausea, but if you can't keep those down, then what do you do?" he said. "You just suffer. That's one of the reasons I understand why people who are going through chemo are prescribed medicinal marijuana in states where it is legal."

Shurtleff said it would be possible to control and regulate marijuana just like any other prescription medication, comparing it to the highly-addictive "liquid opium" he had been prescribed. Although he supported the use of marijuana for medical purposes, he criticized other states, like Colorado, for having laws that were too lax.

"We can use these medicines," he added. "We can use them appropriately. So I am open to discussions about it, if it can be controlled."

Utah? If it goes to public vote, it'll get shot down. Utah is full of ultra-conservative Mormons, bunch of sacks of shit if you ask me.

I love how marijuana can be used as medicine but we still need to CRACKDOWN on the recreational potsmokers. Those fucking problem causers! :rolleyes:

Patience. I think it'll be legal to purchase like alcohol sometime within the next 10-15 years. I could be wrong, but that's my guesstimate.

Mormons will never allow medical marijuana.  It's ironic, because in 2000 Utah ranked highest in antidepressant and prescription pain medicine use.

It's incredible how ignorant Mormons are about drugs.  My aunt is Mormon and she is severly addicted to her prescribed adderall but thinks its totally fine.  She pops opiates all the time basically for fun.  Yet she would never consider touching alcohol or marijuana

This is awesome!

Now if the rest of the US attorney generals would get cancer, medical cannabis might be legalized nation-wide. Yeah hurray for cancer! :awedance:
