JWs are allowed to take drugs (even things like opiods & marijuana) if they are prescribed by a doctor.
@sir82 ...
I know that is generally the policy.
But it would be interesting to see how the Society responds to medical marijuana here in South Florida. Since it is now legal, there are ads in the local magazines to "get your marijuana card". You basically go to one of doctors listed, pay a little (as little as $75), tell them you have anxiety or something on the approved list, and walk out with your card, good for 6 months. It's just a scam.
But then, technically, it was prescribed by a doctor!
