You can't keep a pill down if you are nauseated from chemo, it takes longer to work (about 90 minutes vs. 15 seconds inhaled), it is harder to control the doseage, it lacks some of the good components found in traditional marijuana (such as cannabidiol, which has been found to have anti-seizure effects) and it Marinol costs three to five times as much as a comparable dose of medical marijuana.

True, but isn’t the beneficial part of pot, “thc” obtainable in pill form?

Yes. The objections to pill form are that it takes longer to take affect, and that pills don't help if you throw them back up.

Besides, the objection government has to pot is that it gets you intoxicated. If a pill will do that also then what's the point of switching.
