In this case, I mean that FDA approval and "control" of a substance doesn't mean diddly.

My doctor just changed a medication I'm taking, because "new data" indicate a small chance of liver damage. Stuff is taken off the market all the time, even after having been "approved" for prescribed use.

There is no benefit of pot that can't be derived from far safer controlled substances, and the downside is huge.

This whole argument of "medical marijuana" is just a farce.

I would disagree but I do see your point.

My wife is in the medical profession and deals with controlled substances on a regular basis. I don't see the inabilitly to "control" the substance as the real problem so there must be some other reason..IMO.

What's the 'safer' way to induce an appetitie in someone who's getting chemo?
