Dying Patient With Inoperable Brain Tumor Kicked Out of Hospital for Medical Marijuana–Video

The video here is with a news station and right in the middle of it she has a seizure and they call 911. I don’t know what type of medical marijuana she had but I am guessing it was the smoke from the tone of all of this and that it could not be vaporized in some fashion.

At any rate she was taken to another hospital and she was also very much involved in getting the California law written and sadly doesn’t have much longer to live. BD

A California woman who says she is dying from a brain tumor was kicked out of a California hospital this week for using doctor-prescribed medical marijuana.

Angel Raich told NBC Bay Area that the UCSF Medical Center in San Francisco asked her to leave after she refused to stop using the drug.

“I’m in a state university hospital in the state of California,” she explained. “And I have a right to have the same medical care that any other patient does, and [the pharmacist] says, ‘We’re going to have to ask you to leave then if you’re not going to not use your cannabis.’”

As Raich was speaking to the NBC Bay Area reporter outside of UCSF Medical Center, she had a seizure and was taken to St. Mary’s Medical Center in San Francisco.

UCSF Medical Center released statement saying that their smoke-free policy extended to marijuana use.

Your headline is sad to say all that we have come to expect from internet rumor mills,it makes a great eye catcher however she WAS NOT kicked out.
She was told the same thing all patients are,it is a no smoking campus and no one is allowed to smoke anything, that is the law in California.
She then chose to leave and make a fake scene about fetting kicked out.
Once again she CHOSE to leave.
