Medical Marijuana - Ever wonder why pot is still illegal? One of the main reasons is its medical utility. A wonder drug, cannabis treats multiple conditions, is non-addictive, and causes no organ pathology in patients (unlike nearly all modern medications). It is virtually impossible to overdose on cannabis, which is a superior medicine both to modern pharmaceuticals and to its legal counterpart, dronabinol (Marinol), and it's a cheap, easily grown, organic alternative to modern medicine. Drug companies know this, and they will fight tooth and nail to keep pot illegal.
