Let me put it like this, Dale, Would you pay over $1000 a month for Marinol pills, when you can grow your own and make canna-oil for a couple of bucks? AND the home-made stuff gets better results much of the time!
Legalization will be a disaster for the big pharmaceutical companies. Just as a pain medication, cannabis will save the American people a fair amount of cash! They MAY be able to salvage something from the synthetic cannabinoids, but herbal cannabis will take a big bite out of their profits.
As for why cannabis is so good? Maybe it is the "Tree of Life" whose leaves are for the healing of nations- for what else is a nation but its people? Or perhaps it's a gift of the great Ganja Goddess? Or maybe we just "hit the jackpot" by chance- it's a big world and has lots of possibilities. Or our distant ancestors recognized the basic healing properties and bred for them? Or could it be that the kindly space aliens engineered it for the poor backward natives of Earth?
Whatever happened, cannabis heals!
