Reichbach’s ‘Judge’s Plea for Pot’ describes how medical marijuana helped him through his Stage 3 Pancreatic Cancer. Furthermore, the State Supreme Court judge explains how doctors told him he had 4-6 months left until his quest for ameliorative and palliative care led him to marijuana.
Having dedicated 40 years to a life of the law which included more than half of it as a New York State judge, Reichbach stated in the article that his “survival has demanded an enormous price including months of chemotherapy, radiation hell and brutal surgery. For about a year, my cancer disappeared, only to return. Nausea and pain are constant companions. One struggles to eat enough to stave off the dramatic weight loss that is part of this disease. Eating, one of the great pleasures of life has now become a daily battle, with each forkful a small victory. Every drug prescribed to treat one problem leads to one or two more drugs to offset its side effects. Pain medication leads to loss of appetite and constipation. Anti-nausea medication raises glucose levels, a serious problem for me with my pancreas so compromised. Sleep, which might bring respite from the miseries of the day, becomes increasingly elusive.”
Just two weeks ago, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi made a historic statement in the pursuit of legalizing medicinal marijuana to President Obama. Pelosi’s stated how access to medicinal marijuana for individuals who are ill or enduring difficult and painful therapies is both a medical and a states’ rights issue. The recent actions by the federal government threatens the safe access of medicinal marijuana to alleviate the suffering of patients in California, and undermines a policy that has been in place under which the federal government did not pursue individuals whose actions complied with state laws providing for medicinal marijuana.
Note: Only 16 states, including California and the District of Columbia, have adopted medicinal marijuana laws.
