In response to Dr. Richard Owings justifying doctors refusal to cooperate with medical marijuana laws: you are an arrogant SOB. Nobody is asking doctors if marijuana is a cure; just certify your diagnosis. Your comments indicate you understand this distinction but you continue to moralize about scientific evidence. I am sure big pharma had lots of science on opiods that doctors prescribed like candy even tho they are physically addictive. There is no credible evidence that marijuana is addictive and nobody dies from smoking pot. I am sick of doctor's self-serving hippocratic oath that condemns some people to horrible suffering because medical science has failed to find a cure. Sometimes I think doctors, hospitals, drug manufacturers, nursing homes, etc all object to euthanasia because they are getting rich off sick people; that they would rather force people who want to end their suffering to resort to violence. Why ??? - because they don't want to offend god? Well, then I think they should all go to hell for failing to support compassionate euthanasia laws - much less have compassion for sick people who want to smoke pot because it makes them feel better. Please just do your job, provide your recommendations and let the patient decide what they want to do with their bodies and their futures. You make me sick. Give me a cure and just butt out.

A groundbreaking is scheduled at noon today in Helena for a memorial to the victims of the Elaine Massacre in 1919, when white mobs killed hundreds of black Arkansans in the Delta, attacking men, women and children in one of the bloodiest racial conflicts in the postbellum history of the United States.
