As an anesthesiologist and
intervention pain management specialist I do not believe pot should be
legalized for two reasons. First, there are many powerful less addictive analgesics
and minimally invasive pain management techniques to manage chronic painful
conditions. Besides analgesics are smooth and benign anti-emetics available to
help people who are receiving chemotherapy for cancer. Secondly, the abuse
potential of human beings knows no boundaries. There are no monitoring systems
that can prevent legalized pot from falling into the wrong hands eager to make
a quick buck or to get high. Therefore, I believe there is no redeeming value
to legalize marijuana. It is high time for society to take a serious look at
the dark side of the legalization of marijuana and prevent an impending
catastrophe.Balasa Prasad M.D
