Doctors face an ethical dilemma with glaucoma patients over the choice between prescribing a legal drug with harmful side effects or recommending the illegal drug cannabis, which works better despite the hallucinations it causes. The American Medical Association (AMA) has posted an official warning to medical practitioners that advising patients to use an illicit drug is forbidden under federal law, and punishment can include prison sentences. While no doctor has been arrested yet, it is inevitable that doctors cannot avoid arrest for long.
Which of the following, if true, would undermine the conclusion derived in the argument
(A) A glaucoma patient suffers no side effects from using cannabis.
(B) For doctors, ethics weigh below the American Medical Association’s (AMA) mandates.
(C) Lawyers, with professional discretion, can withhold information if the information is damaging to clients.
(D) Many patients have been arrested for following the advice of doctors.
(E) Some drugs now commonly used, such as Novocain, were once illegal to use.

The question doesn't really work because the passage doesn't mention any "(AMA) mandates."At the same time, if we assume that the "warning" mentioned in the passage is an AMA mandate forbidding recommendation of cannabis, then (B) weakens the case for the conclusion by casting doubt on the conclusion, which is the following:[/color]
it is inevitable that doctors cannot avoid arrest for long
After all, if its true that "For doctors, ethics weigh below the American Medical Association’s (AMA) mandates," then doctors won't likely be arrested since they'll comply with the mandate not to recommend cannabis rather than choose the ethical action of recommending it.
