Why does the medical community turn away people who have end stage renal failure because they use cannabis. This is without having a transplant.

Hmmm.....I don't know of any end stage renal disease that is caused by using marijuana. Can you be more specific what you mean about the medical community turning you away?

If you use and they (medical) find out and you are on a transplant list they wont give you one.
