OF COURSE THE DOCS LIKE THE PHARMACEUTICALS

Dear editor,

Re: Local doctors say pot far from first choice:

Is it really a surprise that a doctor would push a pharmaceutical over a 
natural remedy?

Please tell me why this doctor would have somebody on two man-made drugs, 
"would be a combination of Zofran and dexamethosone." instead of just one 
natural, marijuana.

In the grand scheme of things common sense should dictate a natural 
approach first and pharmaceuticals the last resort!

Doctors should be making more of an effort to catch up with society and 
stop pushing pills to cure what ails. They are losing respectability in 
their lack of knowledge when it comes to natural products and the 
philosophy behind natural medicine including the preventative approach with 
respect to natural medicines.
