New at Reason: Radley Balko on Minnesota Cancer Patient Daniel Hauser, Medical Marijuana, and the Politicization of Medicine.
Policies governing how and when
we give sick people access to the medication that could mitigate
their pain, ameliorate the side effects of their treatment, or even
save their lives, aren't based on compassion, individual rights, or
even an honest assessment of science and risk, writes Radley Balko.
Instead, we have a patchwork of laws and enforcement policies
driven by decades-old drug war hysteria, pharmaceutical paranoia,
irrational aversion to risk, bureaucratic turf wars, and, of
course, politics.
