What’s wrong with alleviating symptoms with an inexpensive remedy?

How many of those 10 FDA approved drugs will be the subject of class action lawsuits, driven by ambulance chasing lawyers?

Marijuana also helps out with the nausea associated with chemotherapy. You cannot deny that it also improves the appetite, LOL!

I honestly cannot answer your question to whether I would invest 50 million in anything. It goes over my head. I can’t even afford to get a second hand car, right now.

I’d like to see a more active role in homeopathic medicine. Sometimes the old ways are still very relevant, but don’t pull in the big profits.

We already have drugs that do that. And since when do hospitals allow smoking?

Home grown or street marijuana may contain salmonella bacteria and/or aspergillus fungus -- unpleasant for a healthy person, but deadly to an immunosuppressed patient on chemo.

I believe I just answered that question.

"Sometimes the old ways are still very relevant, but don’t pull in the big profits."

Then don't complain that there's no medical marijuana research going on -- the pharmaceuticals also realize that any marijuana discovery they make will simply play into the hands of those who want to smoke it, not take a pill.
