So if I understand the author, THC has now been rescheduled so it can legally be used in medication.
And the author is outraged because that means Big Pharma is in control of production instead of street level entrepreneurs.
But isn't that a form of legalization and an endorsement for the "good" in marijuana? I would think this is a positive development for WOD opponents. Incrementalism is often seen as a good thing. As physicians start prescribing THC meds for people, marijuana is going to get a facelift with people who see it as having no benefit whatsoever. Anti-WOD advocates now have an admission by the FDA that THC is a beneficial chemical.
It still comes down to the doctors. They are the gatekeepers with these drugs. Given how widespread addiction to painkillers is, all nice and legal with a script from the doc, I suspect you'll see these THC meds finding their way, all nice and legal like, into the medicine cabinets of millions.
