Over Priced, Over Rated

[gypski]

I remember the first time I took what was call then THC (pronounced as TIC), or synthetic THC (1970). It was given to me by another fellow Marine from my barracks, but from another company. I didn't like it, no where near as good as smoking the bush. One interesting point as I look back through the years, I believe this was the person who was part of the set up that got me busted again for weed, and I got the boot. But that is another story. Marinol cannot hold a candle to the real thing, and its just another government bullshit scam because they quietly own a few patents. Maybe they were trying to make a drug that they could hypnotize us all without us knowing by putting it in to the food and water system . :rasta:

I agree with that. Clearly pharmaceutical companies and government researchers working in the interest of private industry are going to try to distill medical properties and then patent them for profit. It's part and parcel of our private health care system, though that is a different discussion to be sure. While I don't support this model in any shape or form, I do support ongoing research that could potentially/possibly lead to enhanced medical outcomes for those who needed it. That said, there is no way anyone should be interfering in our personal choices to medicate as we see fit. I know without a doubt that medicating helped tremendously with my PTSD. I might not be here without it. Unfortunately, I think we all need to be prepared to stand up for the cause at any given moment as you discovered during your military days.

Those number aren't correct, at least not usually. I know a couple of people who have scripts and while they are expensive they are no where near that high. Anyway, insurance covers them, let the insurance lobby fight it out with the pharmaceutical lobby. The far bigger problem is good luck getting medical marijuana payed for by your insurance company.
