The True America was muscled out of the media in the 60 ' s , as far as I can tell . Sometimes I think that America died in the jungles of Vietnam . I only hope we can recover it . <| sep |> Think of it more as limits from the insurance company because this is medical marijuana paid for by the government for veterans . The contention lies on whether the doctor or the state should decide what a reasonable amount is for one day for a given patient . Here ' s a personal example of where what the government is doing is a problem The catheters I need , the Alberta government only covers one per day but my doctor says i should be using 46 per day , a fresh one every time so I don ' t end up in emergency 34 times annually with utis . The alternative is only urinating once per day which would eliminate any chance of eventual recovery due to the bladder being stretched out to an atonic state . This is an example of the government being out of touch with patient needs and future costs . It ' s cheaper to just pay for the catheters because they ' re 80 cents each than to pay for er visits , iv antibiotics , and future costs related to renal failure . Think of the costs involved in treating somebody with relapsed ptsd because they didn ' t get the medication they required in the first place . They ' ll probably end up homeless , on the street . That ' s an indignant way to live . This is a little complex though because it sounds as though some dispensaries are forcing veterans to pick expensive strains . It ' s like going to the medical supply store to get a wheel chair paid for by the government but the store will only sell their top of the line models to the subsidized customers . Instead of limiting medications for patients the government should introduce controlled pricing for medical marijuana . I mean , really ? Does that one strain actually cost 5 x as much to produce ? It ' s a cash grab from dispensaries and inept policy decisions from government .
