Seems to me that the reason the medical marijuana crowd doesn't want THC made available in pill form is that their leaders are growing or importing in the natural form. And they like selling it through their "clubs."

If you had to go to the pharmacy to get it, they would be cut out of the profits.

This is probably the only form of free enterprise that many of them have ever supported (FReepers excepted, of course.)
