He claimed here that Mother Teresa could have administered painkilling drugs (in the 1970's) but choose not to .... (amongst his other lies) You can see from this article taken from the Indian "Quartz " website that in 2017 they only administer it correctly for 2% of the population in state hospitals and nothing outside.. By Priyanka Vora ......August 7, 2017 Women and child development minister Maneka Gandhi suggested legalising marijuana for medical purposes at a meeting of a group of ministers examining the draft cabinet note on the National Policy for Drug Demand Reduction earlier this last week. However, several doctors working in palliative care say that they would rather see the government ensure a better supply of opioid drugs, the medical use of which is already permitted. At present, doctors in India are allowed to prescribe six types of opioid drugs known to alleviate pain. However, they say that only three of the six drugs-morphine, methadone, and fentanyl-are available at present in India. 🤦‍♂Doctors estimate that only 2% of those who need palliative drugs actually get them. The rest try to battle excruciating pain. “What we need is to improve the access to (opioid) drugs first which are already available,” said Mary Ann Muckaden, professor and head, department of palliative medicine, at Tata Memorial Centre in Mumbai. The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, allowed limited access to opioid drugs even for medical use. A hospital would need five different licences each from a different authorities to be able to procure and store opioids. However, an amendment to the Act in 2014 allowed procurement and storage under a single licence, making it easier for doctors to prescribe these drugs. The problem, according to Muckaden and her colleagues, is that fewer hospitals are willing to procure, store, and dispense morphine and other opioids even though their use is permitted for pain management, especially in cancer patients. This is because hospitals need to keep detailed records of opioid procurement and use, increasing the amount of paperwork to be done. Moreover, pain management is not a part of the medical curriculum which has resulted in the poor awareness about opioid drugs in the medical community, according to Sushma Bhatnagar, professor and head of the department of onco-anaesthesia, pain and palliative care, at All India Institute of Medical Sciences in New Delhi. “Most doctors and nurses do not know enough about these drugs,” said Bhatnagar, who feels that India is not ready to legalise marijuana. Naveen Salins, editor of the Indian Journal of Palliative Care and associate professor at Tata Memorial Centre, said that talking about legalising medical marijuana was “like talking about euthanasia when you are not able to provide palliative care.” The demand for medical marijuana Though illegal, cancer patients in several parts of India confess to have consumed non-processed marijuana, said Salins, who used to practice medicine in Australia, where the use of medical marijuana is legal. He has prescribed synthesised marijuana drugs to patients and observed their benefits. “It is proved that marijuana can help in stimulating appetite and control nausea,” he said, cautioning that the natural form of marijuana can have undesirable side effects because of the psychoactive compounds present in it. “Allowing people to consume it in its natural form could be dangerous.” Sameer Kaul, a surgical oncologist who runs the non-profit organisaiton Breast Cancer Patients Benefit Foundation, thinks that permitting the use of medical marijuana can be a game changer in oncology. Kaul is against the use of opioids such as morphine. “Marijuana is a far safer and subtle form of agent which can help control pain,” he said, referring to the fewer side-effects and lower addictive capacity of marijuana as compared to opioids.

@@donshingondonvergonio2247 how about the entire og cast of snl, norm, and most comedians who have watched his stuff? hes funny. people just dont like him because hes conservative and not a raging lefty

Quite interesting to see him talk with someone who has much less knowledge on the topic and views Hitchens as a skeptic, and even thinks honesty is the most overrated virtue. Perfectly likeable guy but not exactly an intellectual challenge for Christopher, or someone he has any particular beef with, like with the priests and bishops etc. Seemed quite taken aback by the confusion at the Nancy Reagan statement, as if that was something that needed explaining. It also got painted as Christopher’s POINT, which it wasn’t, it accompanied his point about the Sacred Cow’s trips to Haiti.

3:13 and 7:34-Woohoo! First time I have seen Hitch this chill and letting people get away with calling him "Chris."

Missing Hitchens dearly.

Hurt more sacred cows than a bombay cab driver 😂😂😂 Epic

Yet chose the safety of a studio to do it. Never heard of him criticizing Islam in a mosque or when visiting an Islamic country. He was a crashing bore.

We need to be more like him.

Gawd damn I love the almighty Hitch, comes out drink in hand, smoke in the other, and a wit you could cut with a knife.

Just a beautiful genius.....

I can only repost......quite possibly the most articulate and honest man that ever lived. I have always been in awe of Mr Hitchen's intellect.

He was spot on especially with the criminal.

Christopher is stupendous!

God damn I miss Christopher so much! 😢

What an awesome man,you are missed Hitchens.

I definitely didnt always agree with him, but i respect his intellectual prowess & tenacity.

Ah Dennis, couldn't handle the Mother Theresa truth, huh?

@@alexbeardsley751 When you look at the case Hitchens put together, it leaves little doubt. A pity the prosecutor, from the Keating fraud S&L case, didn't have the cajones to issue a warrant for her arrest when she was in the US.

Sadly missed. We need him more than ever now

Depends on what it is you have faith in. Faith alone is belief in the unseen, but the unseen can be anything you want it to be. Faith in Jesus Christ is the virtue. Faith by itself is simply a verb.

It’s amazing how the host doesn’t understand at all what Hitchens is clearly pointing out. He cannot understand and makes jokes; it’s quite fascinating that that is his defense mechanism (even if he’s doing a show).

Oh man, Chris is my friggin Hero.

Perceptive about MT, and brought to light the hypocrisy. We need skepticism more than ever before.

Love what he said about Clinton

Yes he is sorely missed we need him more than ever in today's world , religion still has to much of a vice like grip on people's lives

I think religion should not try to tell the general public how to behave, true. But I think the opinion, the world would be a better place without it, is naive at best. People don't need religion to bash each others' heads in. Greed, lust for power, nationalism, etc. will do just fine. I'd say tribalism is the biggest problem of not only our time but of all times. How you define in-group and out-group might include religion as a factor but not necessarily.
