Tim Garon, talented musician and Hepatitis C patient, is dying after being denied a liver transplant for having used legal medical marijuana on the advice of his physician.

The University of Washington Medical Center is now backpedaling away from their earlier admission that Garon was, in fact, denied the transplant because of medical marijuana. They now vaguely cite other factors, but it's too late: Two separate physicians, including Transplant chief Dr. Jorge Reyes, already admitted in an Associated Press story over the weekend that marijuana was the reason.

In that story, Dr. Reyes said Garon was denied the transplant because he, Dr. Reyes, feared that Garon wouldn't be able to stop smoking marijuana after the operation. And another UW doctor claimed that marijuana commonly contains mold that could cause organ rejection in a transplant patient. Both of these are tacit admissions that marijuana was the reason Tim Garon was rejected as a transplant recipient.

Tim Garon did nothing wrong; medical marijuana is legal in the state of Washington, and is less toxic to the liver than anything else he could have taken to lesson his nausea and pain.

  • @xxrazor94xx hey, razor?

    maybe you should pay a little more attention, and follow along a little more closely, nigga.

    this patient smoked marijuana FOR MEDICINE BECAUSE HE WAS SICK. IT IS NOT WHAT MADE HIM SICK, IT IS WHAT THE DOCTOR PRESCRIBED TO MAKE HIM FEEL BETTER.

    ignorant and clueless is no way to go through life.

  • @alapoet yeah, because i get paid to go around to youtube videos and make 11 word comments. The laws aren't only about insurance. And when was the last time the gov''t promises of "the program's money won't run out and it will pay for it self in time" ever come true?

  • @413hey This isn't about government healthcare, and it's not about your stupid teabagger ideas. Go somewhere else and spout your ignorant nonsense. Good day.

  • That's really really really fucked up like his son said they don't let him because they don't like it. No medical reason just like anyone who opposes weed they just dont like it. When will america wake up

  • @QuantumQuacks Care to say exactly where you saw where "22 year olds get a lung collapse"?

    Care to point me to ANY proof that "permanent holes appear from smoking which don't heal"? LOL!!

    Yeah, that's what I thought -- because it never happened. Nice try at b.s.'ing your way through, though.
