Medical marijuana already exists. It’s called Marinol.
A pharmaceutical product, Marinol, is widely available through prescription. It comes in the form of a pill and is also being studied by researchers for suitability via other delivery methods, such as an inhaler or patch.
“Legalized” medical pot is dangerous. Smoking marijuana results in ingesting toxic and carcinogenic ingredients; smoked pot contains more than 400 different chemicals, including larger doses of the hazardous constituents found in tobacco smoke.
I know a cancer patient/survivor and according to her she uses a vaporizer, where there is virtually no smoke and screens out much of that stuff.
I'm sure that's a big worry to someone dying of cancer or AIDS who is already on chemotherapy or radiation treatments, which by themselves might kill them.
Are you telling us that if we find something useful on frogs, that science will find it and put it into a precisely dosaged, safe form, rather than just let the frog heads sell us frogs to lick?

No, it does not. My wife, a transplant patient, takes it in between bouts of nausea and it stimulates her appetite somewhat but does nothing for nausea - other than occasionally inducing it. Her transplant surgeon stated that he wished he could prescribe real marijuana for her.
