Oh yeah...the marinol argument.

Go read the article. It is not about smoking marijuana. It is about Marinol research. You said legalize "it" referring back to the article (Marinol) and marinol is already legal.!

I read the article as posted at the beginning of this thread and saw no mention of Marinol. It looks to me like the article was about cannabinoids and "marijuana like drugs." Marinol is synthetic THC, with no other "cannabinoids." Aside from THC, marijuana is chock full of other "cannabinoids" that may have medicinal properties. A lot of the studies going on today are attempts to use the medicinal properties of these other cannabinoids without including THC in the final product or at least not using so much of it in relation to the other cannabinoids being used. That's how they could come up with "marijuana like drugs" that cause little or no intoxication.
