Experts say more research needed before legalizing pot as medicine! Dr. Scott Teitelbaum, a professor of psychology at the University of Florida College of Medicine and director of the Florida Recovery Center, feels medical marijuana is a Trojan horse and that the real intent of Amendment 2 is the outright legalization of marijuana. Teitelbaum said the debate should then move to issues like decriminalization instead of the purported medical benefits that he felt lacked evidence to back them up. Madras said those who support medical marijuana lack scientific findings to back up their assertions and ignore studies about marijuanas negative effects. These supporters also seek to circumvent the regulatory process for bringing a medicine to market through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Madras said safe dosage levels for marijuana are not clear. She said pot impairs cognitive skill, including learning ability and memory.
