MARIJUANA ACTIVISTS REAL AGENDA EXPOSED
Regarding legalizing marijuana for the sick. What I can't understand is why
these people who so desperately need cannabis for medical reasons not use
the THC pill?
It delivers all the active ingredient of marijuana without the toxic side
effect of smoking. I've read that the cost for the pill is approximately $1
US. The drug is called dronabinol (tradename Marinol) and is manufactured
in the U.S.A. by Unimed Pharmaceuticals of Buffalo Grove, Ill. (In Canada,
Sanofi-Synthelabo Canada) It is approved in Canada for weight loss
associated with wasting syndrome.
Have those "legalize marijuana" activists who care so much about the sick
offered this pill? It is a lot less risky for the sick to take, not having
any of the side effects of smoking. My guess is these activists haven't
offered it to the sick and not because they haven't heard it, but that its
convenient for them not to speak about it. But unfortunately not so
convenient for the sick.
So the real agenda is exposed, that is they're not interested in the
welfare of the sick, but more interested in getting high. It all comes off
to me as if those who want to legalize marijuana to intoxicate themselves
want to use our sympathy for the sick as a shield.
As if we need more intoxicated people on our planet, in our homes and on
our roads.

marijuana than just THC)

others are highly suspicious.)
