MARIJUANA CAN'T BE COMPARED TO PHARMACEUTICALS

The judge's comparisons of marijuana with cancer drugs are ludicrous.
Cancer drugs are not addictive, are not natural products and are the
result of years of extensive and expensive research and testing. The
cost of those drugs not only pays for the past research but supports
ongoing research for medical treatment for other serious and
life-altering diseases. The cost of marijuana is profit for people
peddling an addictive natural substance of questionable, unproven and
untested medical value.
