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. Nicki Broch Billings - --- MAP posted-by: Richard R Smith Jr.
