But seriously, before the MJ stamp act of 1936 Bayer and Merck had dozens of patented medications that were hemp based.
See the Pharmaceutical drug Marinol. It is a synthetic form of THC that is still prescribed in nearly every hospital. Even though it is the most effective drug of this type, many patients complain that synthetic THC is not as effective as the one extracted from nature.

The only reason people claim it has no medical value is because they have political blinders on.
So give it away in grade school along with the condoms huh?
