Medical, there are excellent treatments using nutrition and plan substances that don’t need to be chemically altered like say fox glove did to create digitalis. Marijuana, THC has remarkable properties and is much less destructive than many drugs prescribed like candy today, but they can’t make money on it. There is another compound that doesn’t cause the problems Kemo does, but it’s from something they can’t control with a patent, so they won’t acknowledge it, and with the money they wield, government and news organizations are with them. Marijuana and this other drug can’t be tested, and they are seen as illegal because they are not tested, even though both are known to be much safer than other prescription drugs they could replace.
