Since you're determined to ignore my post #89, which shows a university and a law organization assuming the same equality between prescription and recommendation

It does not, question beggar.

And here's the actual text of §11362.5(c):

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no physician in this state shall be punished, or denied any right or privilege, for having recommended marijuana to a patient for medical purposes.

The bottom line is that marijuana isn't treated like other drugs, including those which are far more addictive.

Quack nostrums usually aren't. And you can tell your imaginary friend I said so.

You can't manage to discuss this without calling names, which is a pity. I'll put in my last word - no one knows if it's a "quack nostrum" or not - because it hasn't been sufficiently tested. But the article that started this discussion off sounds like it holds some promise. You may be willing to cut off any chance that that promise will be realized and alleviate suffering; I'm not. I challenge you to go talk to several people with MS, and see if they feel the existing drugs do just fine.
