so why has Marinol been available for years as a prescription? I'll tell you why. Because in pill form my patients can get an appetite stimulant without a "high" which indicates to me it is not the substance in its pure form they are concerned about but the so called, "fun part" the pain relief, they want to out law. Not only are corporations NOT human, they have no morals or souls. Please legalize and tax it. At least then we may be able to keep smokers away from the possibility of inhaling formaldehyde and seeking out other substances we know are actually very dangerous. Bath Salts for example are a one way ticket to psychosis, like Meth is. There is also some evidence in scientific lit. LT use of opiates can produce psychotic behavior in some individuals. Or we could just all hold our collective breath for the options in mental health to improve but that would just add to the death toll. The last thing the Kings of Pharmacy want to see is some entity other than themselves, to capitalize on an all natural, free growing plant. Especially one that actually might HELP STOP suffering. Why create death panels when we already have the most efficient killing machine in the world, American Health Care?
