Dying Woman Loses Appeal on Marijuana as Medication

It is a myth that THC is the only active ingredient in the weed. There is actually a whole signature collection of cannabinoids, and different strains of the weed will carry different collections, which will settle into a brain's receptors differently. That's why different varieties will have different effects; and research should be done into which are best for medical purposes. Marinol isolates one particular chemical -- which is why it doesn't really work.
