"cannabis is useless and evil, but we can synthesize it for good purposes"

Translation: 'We have figured out how to make some serious $$$$ from this NEW research angle'.

Hey, don't scoff! Who'd have thought you could sell small bottles of WATER for $$$$? It ain't medicine unless it costs big bucks; get with the Program!

Keep the leafy green material safe, affordable, and unlawful! ;^)

I'm sure that there is a medicinal use for pot, but that's not why all the Libertarians are on FReep advocating it's legalization. They just want to be able to smoke it, period. I have nothing against medical use of pot, but I do against legalization along the lines of alcohol. The negative effects on children alone rule out that as a responsible goal. Someone criticized Bob Barr on here yesterday, saying that the people have a "right" to decide this. There is no specified right to possess nor smoke pot, and no specified right to referenda. So much for the pot-smoking crowd being Constitutional nuts. They're just the regular variety.....
