Got it .. It can't be medicine if you grow it yourself. But if a company can make a slice off it then it's medicine. BTW You don't seem to have been paying attention. The best health effects are obtained by eating extracts of marijuana. Smoking it destroys most of the health benefits. Of course I was talking about curative usages. For pain and nausea, you would be hard pressed to find a faster delivery method. Think for a moment. You've got cancer. The chemo they give you has you tossing breakfast, lunch and supper for the last three days. And they hand you a soft gel pill filled with oil. Greasy oil. If you are lucky enough to keep it down until it breaks open, you get hit with the oil and toss up the oil as well. That pill has THC in it. Perhaps as little as 2.5 mg. The average joint on the street has about 10mg. The pill costs $25.00. The joint about $5.00. With a joint, a patient doesn't need to take any more than is needed for the job. And they can tell within seconds if they have received enough to end the nausea. If it hasn't passed away, they can take a second puff. With the pill, after 45 min or so you get to find out if it was enough to take care of your situation. The pills are greatly inferior to the non toxic natural plant.
