...if people demanded reform. There simply aren't enough people who care about it. A few hundred, a few thousand at a rally. It's nothing for the politicians to pay any attention to.

And as for marijuana replacing pain pills in general...uh, no. Most people who don't smoke will not want to start putting smoke into their lungs.

Now for cancer patients, or for those who are in severe pain, it's a different matter, but to state that pharmaceutical companies are afraid that marijuana will replace Advil is ridiculous.
