medical marijuana as medicine

[hajario]

Medical marijuana laws as they now stand put us further away from actual marijuana-based medicine, not closer. They remove the incentive to put in the long and difficult work needed to turn a plant into a medicine, by instead pretending that the plant by itself is already a medicine.

That’s probably true but it was unfortunately a necessary step before full legalization. I had a med card before it was legal here and the process for getting one was a silly formality.
