Question about living will.
If I write a will, and say that in situations were I am stuck in constatnt and unending pain I'm to be given pot, would that be ok?

1. What do you think?

Why would you writing a will out with a lawyer give you the right to break the law?

2. Because it's my wish?
What about shooting myself out of a canon?

3. Well, I don't know about other states,
but in California that is a possibility.

Pot has been prescribed to stimulate appetite in cancer victims. You could probably use it instead of morphine for constant and unending pain. You might gain a few pounds from the munchies, though. But at that stage, who cares?

4. If pot usage is illegal in your state, then NO
your wishes will not be upheld.

The court will not uphold illegal requests whether they are in wills, living wills, or any other document.

But I bet you knew that.
