Do you experience repercussions for recommending medical marijuana to a patient?
There was a time when the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency threatened doctors who even discussed, let alone recommended, medicinal cannabis to their patients, but there was a very well known federal court case that was filed by a well known HIV specialist in San Francisco, Marcus Conan. I think it was called Conan versus Ashcroft, or something like that, which determined that the DEA or the Feds could not interfere in the patient/physician relationship and that there should be free flow of information and anything that threatened to punish physicians for this was unconstitutional and against individual and state's rights. That doesn't mean there isn't a risk. Certainly if you prescribe, or if you recommend a lot of patients for medical marijuana you may be investigated.
