Just that alone hanging over my head is enough to pause. Maybe doctors are required to report, I don't know. I do know that my particular docs. would not approve even if it was legal in this state. I have questioned them. I also admitted to trying this years ago, and yep it is in my records. There is a stigma against this in my state for sure. All I really can do is sign the petition in favor of it. The whole mess is utterly stupid, over a plant, really..... do you know they classified it worse than cocaine and morphine? They consider it the worst of all the drugs. Now to me, considering all that I have read, it is only a way to control people. This is about politics, and controlling the population. Maybe we have to look up Obama Care and see for sure, if medicare would be in jeopardy in legal states. You have a right to be concerned! I also think if you get SSDI, or medicaid, they are going to require testing, as they don't want you to spend money on this substance, legal or not. What a mess...ginnie PS, my medicare part D won't even allow me asthma medication, they are never going to allow TCH!
