The bottom line is - loads of people are benefiting from the medical research and medicalization of marijuana.
And this wouldn’t have happened if the world were guided by views like yours.
And - you’re chasing squirrels with your foxglove remarks...the point is - I choose what to grow - and by doing so - I know the product is pure and not some street concoction. The perceived level of danger is irrelevant.
And - really - since you CAN grow Foxglove and castor and not kill yourself apparently - should’t the same be true for Marijuana?
Just because people are lining up to profit from it does not mean that there is any bona fide medical use for marijuana.
One of my researchers is actually researching potential medical benefit from an extract of marijuana. So far, no benefit. I've seen pretty much the same results published in the medical literature. As more research takes place, the more bad effects are documented--but actual benefits are simply not materializing.

It isn't the growing of it that kills you. It's the ingestion of it.
