"In light of the recent shooting at the Pentagon, I feel obligated to address the incongruous link that some media outlets suggest between the shooter's violent choice of behavior and his reported use of marijuana. The Los Angeles Times stated in an article that the shooter, John Bedell, tended to self-medicate with marijuana (Source: http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-pentagon-shooter6-2010mar06,0,4506100.story?track=rss). Studies show that marijuana allows for improved functionality and pain relief, making it a valuable resource for qualified, registered and medically supervised users. Medical marijuana, as with any drug or controlled substance, is intended to be used under the close supervision of licensed professionals, such as those who staff CTS. CTS has been developed to identify the best therapeutic practices for medical marijuana users. In fact, we have been encouraging senators and other public officials to enforce a treatment plan to monitor medical marijuana use. Had the shooter properly utilized medical marijuana under the care and supervision of a therapist, his mental illness and behavioral tendencies would have been spotted and addressed, and this tragic incident may have been avoided. Marijuana cannot be blamed for this incident; rather, it should be attributed to a biochemical irregularity, coupled with poor choices and lack of proper supervision."
