There will always be those who refuse to back down, no matter the odds. The Philippine Medical Association (PMA) is a prime example of this, with member Dr. Tony Leachon boldly speaking out against the legalization of medical marijuana earlier this year.
“We want to educate the public about the dangers of marijuana,” Dr. Leachon declared to the press. “We want to stop our lawmakers from passing this proposed law. It is their moral and legal responsibility to safeguard the well-being of the public.”
In a world where the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes is gaining more and more support, the PMA stands firm in their belief that it should remain illegal. Dr. Leachon and his colleagues are determined to spread awareness about the potential risks associated with marijuana, and to prevent its legalization in the Philippines.
Their stance may be met with opposition, but the PMA remains steadfast in their mission to protect the public. They refuse to back down, even in the face of a changing societal landscape. For them, the well-being of the people is of utmost importance, and they will continue to fight for it.
