If the medically beneficial ingredients can be isolated, and appropriate dosages identified, that would be wonderful! Simply "smoking" enough off-the-street marijuana until you feel better is, as I believe you've said, pretty sloppy/archaic, and may be dangerous.

So you would say that people should be required to spend hundreds of dollars per month on pills even if they could get results they would deem equally acceptable with some plants they could cheaply grow themselves if allowed to?

ATTENTION PHARMACEUTICALS!!

Here is your #1 reason NOT to develop marijuana-based drugs.

And I don't EVER AGAIN want to hear about how it's the government's fault, or the fault of the greedy pharmaceuticals, why there is not more medical marijuana research going on.
