Ok, lets say that is true...
What on earth does that have to do with the medical marijuana issue you posted about? Your mom would have been taking synthetic marijuana, which is completely different and had NOTHING to do with the medical marijuana movement.
The fact is, ANYBODY with a prescription can get the exact same medicine your mom took today - so what do you care about legalizing medical dope?
Because if the synthetic helped her when she was so weak and, basically, we were losing her, then legalizing pure marijuana for medical purposes makes sense to me because the synthetic is still a cannabinoid based on cannibas and, according to what I’ve read, the synthetic has more risk and side effects.
The observation is simply that if it is helpful for helping cancer patients with their appetites - and it is or else a synthetic wouldn’t have been developed for it in the first place - then why not legalize it for medical use?
