Yes. That's one of the reasons smoked marijuana is not considered medicine. Do you know of a "carbon based compound which is combusted" which has FDA approval?
"Now one thing they didn't talk about is the benefits of vaporized marijuana."
A vaporizer would be safer, but how would this be enforced? Also, the THC content in a pill is regulated. There is no regulation for smoked marijuana. For example, how much and how often should a patient use vaporized marijuana for glaucoma? For MS?

As symptoms persist. LOL....No Seriously all day long. LOL
Big Tobacco knows how to standardize for nicotine, so each pack has the same amount. Big Marijuana should be able to do the same for THC and related alkaloids, no sweat.
Some of us don't NEED no stinkin' FDA to tell us what works and what doesn't. Don't need big brothers approval or acceptance.
YOU are 100% wrong - and have NO BUSINESS telling people what they can smoke or not.
Known commonly as a meddling busybody - and NOBODY likes them.
