There is much evidence that THC has medical benefits. (Kaiser did a ten year study, showing that people with medial of various sort, or are effective negatively from some treatments had relief). I can’t figure out why there aren’t pills or creams or whatever available for people who might be able to benefit.

They made a pill of THC called IIRC “Marinol” that was prescribed for nausea.

The problem being that the pill was often vomited up before it could be digested and bring relief.

Some joked that it was like prescribing a suppository to treat diarrhea.

there ARE pills!

it is just the pot heads trying to create an excuse to use pot recreationally.

there is no need to smoke it instead of a less cancerous pill form.

Google Marinol.

The legal version exists, and is available.
