When South Park spit the real

Weed isn't the worst thing in the world. I don't use it but don't care that others do so if we want to legalize it for recreational use, fine by me. However, medical marijuana is pretty much snake oil trying to backdoor legalize it for recreational use.

Pretty much every legitimate study show its benefits vs placebo or established treatments to vary between "inconclusive" and "total bullshit." Sure, there are plenty of anecdotes but I consider anecdotal evidence heavily biased and pretty much worthless from a scientific point of view.

Also, smoking something is a terrible way to deliver a real medication (absorption rate and percent of the dosage delivered to the bloodstream are pretty hard to quantify) so medical marijuana would really need to be eaten, preferably in pill form, thus disappointing a lot of weed enthusiasts who just want to smoke out.
