i can agree with that mostly because i know that there are a lot of medication pills that harm you in some way or another as well as help you, just like marijuana. the only difference is; marijuana never changes, it is understood that it can be a poor factor in regards to the health of your lungs, other pills and stuff, its luck of the draw which ones cause similar, less, or more intense forms of harm to the body, so they can't really make an informed decision the same way as with marijuana and have to leave it out as a factor in order to be fair.
the outrage is that the public will assume that he was denied because "marijuana is bad for you". im fairly certain however, that this is not the view of a medical board whos purpose is to give life to people. direct the anger towards the right targets (yes the government, media etc)
