General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi.

The conditions don't really matter sir, it is the level and degree of pain. The level of pain and relief from them found only from the use of medical marijuana is what allows for it to be used. Most doctors will not concur sir, because they only wish to avoid dependance and anyother ill-effects that come along with it.

Best wishes.
