 keeth says: Major fail in 2 areas: the FDA has little credibility in its approval process, and the federal gov't has refused to test marijuana. Commentators give this man a lashing, and rightly so. Best of all comments so far is this one: "Yep, Mr. Lane opium based drugs like Oxycotin are much better and costly for consumers. so why smoke away pain when you addict it away and throw money to big drug corp. I hear ya...and those pulling your string" I know many people who smoked, and none of them ever became addicted nor did they go on to anything harder.
