"Until these messed up times." You can either change the times, or change the definition. Seeing as how you can't change time, I say we change the definition. We might say "cannabis is good for you" like we say "apples are good for you." We can call both cannabis and apples "medicine," but that (necessarily) places them in the category of "medicine" as that term is defined in these "messed up times." My mom would always tell me, "birds of a feather flock together." If you think it best for the cannabis industry to flock with the pharmaceutical industry, I think you're not only in favor of withholding cannabis from people who need it, I think you're also in favor of jacking up the price of some cannabis strains (and I mean jacking the prices way, way up) by crowding smaller participants out of the marketplace. You tell me, though.
