The simple fact that synthetic THC exists (as Marinol) shows that there is a medical need for Cannabis - albeit one that BigPharma wishes to regulate and profit from (Marinol is EXPENSIVE). Frequent cannabis users are better off ingesting THC and its derivatives through eating food and/or vaporization, which avoids the negative impact smoking can have on the respiratory system. Through reasonable policy focused on correcting habitual, directionless pot-heads - we can keep non-violent offenders from ending up alongside rapists and murders in our already-overcrowded jails. With a focus on reintegrating stoners into society, Spain has reduced the wasted incarceration of thousands of people who responsibly enjoy marijuana as the cure-all drug God (or Evolution) direct the plant to be. Only with a reasonable drub policy will scientists be able to further exploit a miracle plant.
