This my friends is a big part of why marijuana, cannabis prohibition continues.
It’s way more profitable to have have a pill permitted by the FDA than to let people put a seed in the ground and grow their medicine.
It’s not about pot being a “gateway drug” folks. A classic example of regulation working for the big guys and against the citizenry.
(From The Chicago Tribune)
Insys Therapeutics, a pharmaceutical company that was one of the chief financial backers of the opposition to marijuana legalization in Arizona last year, received preliminary approval from the Drug Enforcement Administration this week for Syndros, a synthetic marijuana drug.
Insys gave $500,000 last summer to Arizonans for Responsible Drug Policy, the group opposing marijuana legalization in Arizona. The donation amounted to roughly 10 percent of all money raised by the group in an ultimately successful campaign against legalization. Insys was the only pharmaceutical company known to be giving money to oppose legalization last year, according to a Washington Post analysis of campaign finance records.
