Famous quotes containing the words medical, marijuana and/or program:

    “There may perhaps be a new generation of doctors horrified by lacerations, infections, women who have douched with kitchen cleanser. What an irony it would be if fanatics continued to kill and yet it was the apathy and silence of the medical profession that most wounded the ability to provide what is, after all, a medical procedure.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “Is marijuana addictive? Yes, in the sense that most of the really pleasant things in life are worth endlessly repeating.”
    —Richard Neville (b. 1941)

    “They had their fortunes to make, everything to gain and nothing to lose. They were schooled in and anxious for debates; forcible in argument; reckless and brilliant. For them it was but a short and natural step from swaying juries in courtroom battles over the ownership of land to swaying constituents in contests for office. For the lawyer, oratory was the escalator that could lift a political candidate to higher ground.”
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
