"I think doctors should be able to prescribe what they need to for pain for keeping people healthy, ah ya know. I terms of I don't like to see it as a loophole just say oh yea its medical marijuana so people can use it, I just have concerns again I've always said it's about kids, it's about workplaces and safety; but if doctors feel its appropriate to prescribe um I don't personally have a problem with it."
