In Medscape's 2014 Compensation Report, radiologists fall fifth from the top among all physicians, with average earnings of $340,000. As in previous Medscape reports, orthopedists are the earning leaders, followed by cardiologists. Urologists and gastroenterologists are tied for third place.
The proposed law from the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol in Massachusetts would legalize recreational marijuana use for those 21 and older. Proponents say they aim to create a regulated and taxed market, removing marijuana sales from the criminal sphere.
Cannabis edibles and concentrates are also legal under the law. Retail sales of recreational marijuana were originally slated to begin January 2018, but Massachusetts lawmakers voted to push that date back six months to July 1, 2018 instead. The delay, the lawmakers claim, is to better ensure public health and safety.
