You should not smoke marijuana, but you SHOULD take those pills they make.

Oh of course. As long as someone can make money on it, its ok.

How ironic, considering almost all anti depressants warn about making thoughts of suicide more common in younger people.

Haha I forgot about that side effect, it makes the article even funnier

I heard those pills are so fucking strong they make your head spin and want to puke. This coming from a pot guru. Saw it on a spcial about medical marijuana, might have been Pen and Teller's Bullshit show come to think of it.

since these pills replicate the effects of marijuana without the user having to actually smoke it, that means the only problem the government has with marijuana is the act of smoking it and not the actual effects. What about cigarettes? wtf is going through their minds? we need to elect new congress people

Heh, it's all of them, and pharmacy's are actually required to provide that information sheet about teen suicide by law now. It doesn't matter who's taking the drug, or how old they are, we're still required to give them that printout, EVERY time.

No, marinol is not all that potent and patients already suffering nausea
have a hard time keeping it down, like any other pill.
Fuck the pharmaceutical industry.

does this article mention medicinal marijuana? are is every1 just referring to how medicinal is legal and recreational illegal?

[Jenovah]

Because Marijuana is way unhealthier than all those pills they're putting on the market..
