You have a good point but do you want Sativex or some nice flowers to puff on? I do not believe the pill will win over the consumers, I wouldn't pop pills over smoking despite the legal issues. When the variety of strains and potencies is what is the medical user has more chance of selecting strain that suits the disorder. Prisons and pharm lobbies are 2 of the toughest, but in my state nobody is going to prison for medical amounts....it is a fine. The drugs that are filling up prisons are Meth, and pharmaceudical opiates, the criminality associated with such addictive and destructive substances is way higher and consequences are greater. I really believe that corruption is pervasive in these areas and if conspiracy is the real reason for it remaining illegal than I am just an optimist who should have been more cynical. It is impossible to know for sure but imprisonment for MJ, even in large amounts, looks increasingly ridiculous and is not appropriate for such a benign substance. Meth on the flipside carries mandatory sentencing that nobody is fighting against. We can only wait to see but the ball will conitnue to roll forward over time. Politics have to address these hot isssues, regardless of lobbying they usually have to be democratically elected right? Would you vote for somebody that supported prohibition and incarceration for MJ? I think that ship has sailed.
