MARINOL -- The SYNTHETIC CANNABIS:
#
# MARINOL IS EXPENSIVE, very expensive; In fact there is as much as a 100-to-1 cost ratio between the two. But don't take my word for it, do the math.
* If Legal, a pound of high-quality Medical Marijuana would cost (much less than) $100.oo,[1] which is enough to create 400 [2] Cigarettes.
* That 15 mg of Marinol, is the equivalent of one-half of a Cannabis cigarette. [3] Therefore one pound of Cannabis = 800 medical doses, or the equivalent of 27,397-mg of Marinol.
* That 20 mg of legal Marinol can costs $1,050 per month or $12,500 per year.
Now at this point, do the rest of the math yourself, and Ought!
