According to the DEA’s propaganda hub:
The scientific community has not approved marijuana as medicine. Many studies have been conducted to determine whether or not
marijuana should be approved as a legitimate medicine. There are many rigorous and complex elements to the Government’s approval of any drug that is used in medicine in this country.
But further down the SAME PAGE:
THC, which is the active ingredient in marijuana, can and has been created synthetically, allowing its medicinal properties (without the “high”) to be used as medicine. DEA and the FDA approved Marinol™, a safe, pill-form of synthetic THC which has been available to patients since 1995.
Make up your mind already!
