Further, marijuana is EFFECTIVE at relieving headaches and anxiety, and as an aid to sleeping and relaxation. Since when are those not legitimate medical uses? Pharmaceutical corporations certainly make billions of dollars annually selling "medicines" to achieve those same outcomes. Their use is considered medically legit-- why isn't marijuana's use for the same purposes medically legitimate as well?

Hmmm, might those billions of dollars in drug company profits be part of the motive for suppressing marijuana, which is easily cultivated and prepared, and fun to use as well?
