Medical marijuana is sort of an edge case in that it isn't any more effective in a medical sense than synthetic drugs that do the same thing, but it does get you high so people obviously want an excuse to smoke it.

One of those components of marijuana is an approved FDA drug called marinol. The problem is that its only one of many, the DEA is the only thing preventing the isolation of other chemicals that may be helpful. This leads to the question of why marijuana is schedule I when one of the psychoactive components is schedule III; its all dumb politics.

Meditation is often derided as "alternative medicine" places like SBM, but in fact meditation was how I got off of benzos/ADs/other drugs that caused me far more problems than they solved.

Give medicine more credit.
