Why not allow cancer patients to use real marijuana and not the synthetic stuff?

Marijuana is physically non-addictive and the side effects are predictable and manageable. What does the medical and scientific establishment know about synthetic marijuana? Don't forget the F.D.A. approved Paxil, Prozac, DDT, high-dosage estrogen birth control pills, (the new ones are much lower in estrogen) and AZT.
Answer:
Because they are intellectually dishonest. The FDA recently released a study claiming that marijuana has no legitimate medical uses. This flies in the face of numerous scientific studies. To keep marijuana illegal for recreational use, they want to limit the exposure to it for anyone at all. It is rather silly in reality. If you want to remove a scourge from society, ban alcohol instead of worrying about whether cancer patients or people with glaucoma are puffin on a joint. If people don't pay attention, even the synthetic Marinol will be unavailable at some point.
the pot that they grow in secret government labs is the best quality that can be found anywhere.it is also tested to find the exact thc levels to ensure that the patients get the proper dosage,as well as to not get ripped off by some dealer with poor quality weed.
Because most cancer patients can take a pill better. And there is no odor. It is controlled by the doctor and the patients know what they are getting. I doubt if a cancer patient or his family would want to roll the real stuff up and light it for the patient. I have a brother in law who is dying and he never smoked any pot. So he takes it in pill form. No hassle and easier on his caregivers and family, including his grandchildren.
Well the amount of THC in a plant is different in every plant and the amount reaching the blood brain barrier cannot therefore be established. Giving a pill ensures only x amount can enter the body. Its a way to cover their backsides in case anything happens. When i worked in a lab for summer we make chemicals here in Ireland and export them to the US market and the FDA is so strict when it comes to standards.
Politics.
Politics..its true. But it isn't the only part of the reason.Not being able to control dosage and purity from street pot is a big part of it. Also, smoking anything is harmful, and that is the most common delivery method. Of course, you could eat it, or vaporize it but the FDA just sees weed from a dealer with contaminents, and huge bong hits and says.no way! We will make a pill.
