Isn't that too irony, if you're a marijuana user and having a problem with a vital organ of yours, but unfortunately you've been turned down for an organ transplant. How could marijuana be a medicinal drug on that matter? |

Comments (2)yes illegal drug users are refused to have transplants because there's a higher risk that transplant won't work. it's their rules and the rules have always been strict.
if that's the point, what happens to the patients who is not able to get transplant just because they smoke weed? isn't it unfair? they do indeed pick who lives and who dies. i don't think this is right!
i think that's the fact you must accept. if you use marijuana in addiction or even in medication the fact that the side effect would affect mostly of your vital organs. then you must accept that most transplant will turned you down for taking marijuana medication or as a drugs. but i think it depends on how long you used it. maybe.
I think using marijuana got something to do with your vital signs. And I think rejecting you for organ transplant was a necessary thing to do. Sorry no offense but for me its the right way, since you are using marijuana and its not safe for you to under go transplant.
Having this complication and side effect about using marijuana is a thing that you must accept if you take marijuana for medication. You can just simply use marijuana and do some organ transplant cause vital organ is the most part of your body that been affected upon taken marijuana.
Of course its not that by turning you down, marijuana won't be consider as mecinal herb? Of course not. Marijuana contains characteristic that can be called medicine and by taking it abussively would not marijuana's problem. It's your problem by taking it like that, If you take it in a proper way then it wouldn't cause you much greater problem in the near future.
Complications from being a person that has a history of drug abuse of addictive substance such as marijuana may have problems with healing process after an organ transplant. He'll might have a clotting problems.
He would have consulted the physician before the transplantation..
may be they would have suggested any remedies before it is too late.
Drug Rehab
That is an excuse on that matter if we're going to look at the logic side. The patient has this problem with his organ needed to be transplant because he was using marijuana as a drug in abusive way. Medical marijuana isn't on that state where you use it for pleasure or as a vice but rather as a medication to relief a certain condition.
I think the question here is, upon taking marijuana will affect your organ and she's been turned down for an organ transplant. For me the question is how long did you take marijuana and how was the damage done with your organ so far. Marijuana is a herbal medicine way back before. But the inproper using it occurs problem. So you can't blame them for turning you down cause they might seen risky situation if they allow you to go on organ transplant.

Wow, I didn't know this. I have a family member that's looking to get on a transplant list that does medical marijuana. I'll have to let them know - thanks for the info!

HI,

It is ridiculous to think a patient would be turned down or even dropped from a transplant waitlist based on the use of medical marijuana. There is no founded evidence that habitual marijuana use in any form would significantly mutate or effect your body in such a way that your risk for rejection of a new organ would be any greater than the average non-user.
As stated in a previous comment, the medications that most pre-transplant patients are prescribed are more habit forming, and often more chemically altered than marijuana. The THC contained in marijuana has not been show to develop habit of any kind. The habitual use of marijuana is usually related to regular need for pain relief, as well as the social propensity to medicate on a recreational basis.
So there is no need for a rehab center. Im 99% sure most people admitted to Rehab for marijuana are laughed at. Marijuana is not habit forming. To suggest that someone suffers from "marijuana withdrawls" is absolutely ridiculous.
very true
