Medical marijuana patients face transplant hurdles

This is messed up beyond belief.

and stupid and evil.

"This is messed up beyond belief."

Not really. There are only so many livers to go around and they'll be preferentially given to younger, healthier individuals who have better prospects for a long and productive life.

If you feel that something should be done about it one of the best things you can do is to register to be an organ donor. If there were enough organs being donated instead of rotting in the ground there wouldn't be any need to withhold a new liver from people like mr. Garon.

I bet they have no problems taking organs from drug users (if they're not too messed up ofc) to donate to non-drug users.

This is appalling imo and next time I donate blood I'll be asking who is entitled to get my donated blood/organs and swiftly withdrawing my offer if the same happens here. Maybe they should only donate organs to others that are set up to donate aswell but using drug use (marijuana at that - much less harmful than alcohol) as an excuse is just PC gone mad!!

Marijuana - a drug described correctly by no other an authority than Ronald Regan -as the most dangerous on earth - should be the focus of our war on drugs and these scoff laws should be imprisioned and not given special privledges.

COCO -- Stuck in Reefer Madness are we?

Marijuana has for a long time been labeled as deathly, disgusting and vile, when it is really no worse than alcohol when the user knows how to control their intake.

Oh, and none other than George Washington grew pot on his farm. Thought I'd let you know that.

(For the record I do not smoke pot, nor do I intend to, I just see the good and the bad to it, with the good outweighing the bad by today's standards.)

This is the reason I'm not an organ donor.

you will all reap the whirlwind if you keep this up - we already have the relativley benign legal and controlled drugs like tobacco and booze - we do cannot afford to keep going down this route!! All science reports that 'pot' is the gateway to heroin and crack cocaine. If you think or even feel otherwise, you are in the same boat as 911 truthers or UFO abductees. Wake UP!

Nice troll COCO.

All I get is the message "If you do drugs you deserve to die." Nice.

reap the whirlwind brothers

COCO: Pot is often the gateway to hard drugs thanks to exactly the same ignorant foolish rhetoric that you invoke here.
When someone is first told that pot is deadly and terribly addictive and then tries it for himself he immediately sees its all BS and from that point on he will completely disregard any farther warnings. Then if he has access to something really dangerous like crack or heroin he will believe that he can control it just as easily as the 'deadly' pot, he will soon realize his error but it will be too late.
The only way to educate people about drugs is to tell them the truth, if you are spreading foolish lies about imaginary dangers you are doing doing much more harm then if you were silent.

my only intention is to help people like yourself and the other self-absorbed cognoscenti to stick with the relatively harmless tobacco and liquor products so widely available and safe.
Marijuana takes your soul, your money and finally your life. More people overdose from this heinous weed than die from any other known herb!! God Bless Amerika!!

You know you can't overdose on pot right? You'd pass out first.

Oh, and marijuana doesn't take your soul. Self control (or a lack of it) does. This is relevant to alcoholics and emphysema patients that continue to smoke.

I'm done listening to you, as you are either obviously
A) Trolling
or B) A misguided product of the current media

Guys, please, stop feeding the trolls. Coco is obviously pulling your legs. I mean, look at the "God Bless Amerika!" there. He's probably laughing his head off, rightfully, for you taking him seriously.
