I certainly support the use of medical marijuana under very careful medical supervision. Supplying through controlled growing facilities and designated sales depots keeps costs down and quality controlled. However, I do know that here in Canada, patients using the government issued marijuana constantly are complaining about its poor quality and lack of efficacy and many patients obtain their supplies elsewhere. I have never tried it myself, although I am a chronic pain patient and have been on other narcotic medications for over 20 years. At one point, about 15 years ago (before the govt marijuana program), my physician offered me a script for the artificial THC medication to use for nausea. I declined it because my research showed that this medication (can’t remember the name) didn’t work all that well and had its own long list of side effects.
