Editor's Note: For those people who say there is no evidence showing the medical benefits of marijuana … it's pretty difficult to argue with the U.S. Surgeon General, isn't it?Â
The nation’s top doctor says that marijuana has medical benefits for some patients.
In a Wednesday appearance on “CBS This Morning,” Dr. Vivek Murthy, surgeon general of the United States, said, “We have some preliminary data showing that for certain medical conditions and symptoms, that marijuana can be helpful.”
“IÂ think that we have to use that data to drive policymaking,” he added.
