I have a question. Is the entire cannabis plant illegal or just the THC part that gets people 'high'? If the other cannabinoids in the plant don't get people 'high' but could be useful in stopping certain forms of cancer. Shouldn't we be able to extract those and start going to the FDA for approval now. It just seems that soooooo many other drugs get approved based on the good that the promise only to find the harmful effects later. This is a plant for GODS sake. He put it here for us to use. Where are we as a society that we cast aside nature and in our ignorance try to find a chemical substitute? Do we really think we can make something better than nature? It's because this particular plant threatened someones pocket book that it is illegal right now. Instead when we get sick we take poisons so that the people who make them can get rich.

PS: Sorry about the rant. It just makes me mad.
