Medical Marijuana In The Recovery Community

May 21st 2007 22:26
I'm on an interview panel for a recovery-based agency. They seek a new practitioner, and we have talked to many. One, in particular, stands out.

This particular lady was very appropriate and professional during the meeting, and demonstrated a vast understanding and knowledge of the addiction process. She was also tuned into how one recovers and establishes an empowered identity. Very good to the ears of the evaluators.

One glitch, though...

The applicant has a recommendation for medical marijuana, to help her sleep at night. She is very up front with this, and believably states she does not abuse the substance. She is very prepared to present all needed paperwork to show it is legitimate. Yet, the panel has become less enamored with this person.


Would they be as disturbed if the lady had a prescription pill to help her sleep? It seems unclear. Should this seemingly highly qualified candidate be excluded from making it to round two of the process?

Oh, how the times are a-changing...

That's ridiculous. As an insomniac my Dr has prescribed me sleeping pills. I've also tried the joint-before-bed idea. Both help me sleep. But I'll be honest, the sleeping pills left me a lot more cloudy-headed than the joint!

As it turns out, the woman was not invited to the next round of interviews. Something about not being drug-free. I do wonder how many of the panelists are on prescription meds.
