There is no need for a patient to smoke marijuana. THC and all other derivatives are available in tablet and liquid form by prescription. They have been for years.

Nausea patients sometimes have a hard time keeping oral drugs down; and smoked marijuana is more easily titrated (according to the Institute of Medicine).

Except that derivatives such as Marinol are *so* strong that it literally leaves you unable to carry on a conversation. The advantage of smoking marijuana is that you can control the dosage.

Pharmaceutical companies products good, natural herbs and drugs bad. I guess whatever has enough money behind it to become dangerous has the blessing of the state, and that which is much more harmless is felonious.
