A patient waiting for a transplant should receive the same consideration as the next person.
Even in states where medical Marijuana laws are in place, a patient who receives a prescription for the benefits can now be discriminated against by hospitals and transplant teams. In some cases, they are deemed unsuitable because of their prior Marijuana use.
That just seems so wrong. Have we become a society where the few can decide who lives and who doesn't get the chance to?
