Theresa Chan: “Another problem associated with liberal marijuana prescribing is the impact on local students. Our local state university campus has the highest drop-out rate of all the California state universities. I know an administrator at the university, and she has told me that the school has no effective statistics to track why students drop out, but she suspects that many of them just stop showing up to class due to marijuana-induced academic apathy.”

MIA-A, great acronym. If this isn’t recognized as a syndrome, it shall be soon. Can you acquire the “Blue Badge of Victimhood”(B-BV), the handicap placard? How about a taxpayer provided scooter to scramble around campus, and get to your dealer… sorry, pharmacist?
The dose makes the poison.
The dose of cannabinoids from today’s marijuana is far higher than the dose you received a generation past.
A hundred fifty dollars for a marijuana prescription? California’s doctors prostitute themselves at a very low price. In Portland, Oregon, it’s about three times that amount. At least that’s what I hear from the patients who have come to me, expecting me to do the same within a traditional primary care practice.
So the patient thinks, not that I’m a whore, but that I’m a cheap whore.
“A university administrator suspects…” Wow, real hard hitting evidence there.
I suppose the university administrator would think it out of the question to suspect boredom due to poor class quality. I am a student and know several marijuana smokers, all straight A students. MIA-A, marijuana-induced academic A’s.
