Medical marijuana (Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) had been legal since 1985. It's called Marinol.. It's synthetic and doctors can prescribe it right now. Kinda takes the fire out of these "medical" marijuana laws in my opinion. http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/dockets/05n0479/05N-0479-emc0004-04.pdf The good news though. People are stupid and will continue passing these laws. There is money to be made here. Gltu.
