POT PROMOTION?

The Post's articles on "medical marijuana" sound more like promotional
pieces than good reporting. Is there some reason that marinol, which
is synthetic THC, was not mentioned? It cannot be because of the
difficulty in finding data. A Google search located the Drug
Enforcement Agency site on the topic (www.usdoj.gov/dea/ongoing/marinol.html)
for me in seconds. The physician who was quoted as saying he doesn't
"feel marijuana is a dangerous drug" has not done his homework.
Anything that can produce intoxication, disorientation as to time and
place, and partial memory loss of events is certainly dangerous.
