Read this editorial; there are other sources one can find on the
internet that also address this issue. Why would they not give organs
to people who use pot? It sounds like another example of the type of
moralizing and shaming that the US has been doing to the most helpless

Editorial: Dying over drug politics
Past time to resolve conflict

Thursday, May 22, 2008

The conflict over state and federal medical marijuana laws must be resolved.

California and 12 other states now allow the use of medical marijuana,
yet the federal government does not.

That means sick people with authorization from their doctors to use
marijuana are still in legal jeopardy, that California employers can
fire workers who use marijuana recommended by a physician, and that
people in need of an organ transplant can be barred from
organ-transplant waiting lists.

Too bad there is not a common-sense transplant.
