1. Name: Marian "Mollie" Fry, M.D.  
2. Title: Physician
3. Medical Marijuana
Position:		 Pro to the question "Should marijuana be a medical option?"
4. Reasoning:

"I took an oath to do no harm. If a doctor is willing to give you a prescription for a drug that is addictive or could kill you, then why should you not be able to choose a non-toxic drug like marijuana?" (4/7/06, interview with ProCon.org)
5. Credibility
Ranking:		  Key Experts
Physicians [We believe physicians are the "key experts" in the medical marijuana debate because the issue is thought by many to be ultimately based on the medical value and risks of marijuana, and Physicians, with their training and clinical work, should (at least in theory) have the best knowledge of marijuana's medical value and risks.].

  • 1996-2002 - Saw approximately 7,000 medical marijuana patients
  • 2001 - Raided by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration for her medical marijuana involvement. Her prescription writing priviledges were revoked by the DEA in December 2002. A DEA report said Fry's prescription-writing privileges were "inconsistent with public interest."
