YOUR DOCTOR SUGGESTS YOU SMOKE CANNABIS or EAT CANDIES

Boy, you know when the government is shutting down sales of pain medications across the board when your physician, more than one physician, suggests you experiment with cannabis.  I think it's terrible; I think it's a slimy way for the government--through physicians--to promote cannabis and external CBD/cannabidiol creams/lotions. 
The idea to break federal law so that the government-paid physicians can follow their marching orders is trashy and insulting to me.  Those cannabis products are DEA Schedule I controlled substances...by definition they have no therapeutic usage and have a high degree of addiction potential.
