Why medical marijuana instead of other medications?

For many patients, traditional medications do work well and these patients do not require or desire medical marijuana. However, for a significant number of patients, including patients suffering from AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis and chronic pain among others, traditional medications do not provide symptomatic relief as effectively as medicinal cannabis. These patients should not be branded as criminals or forced to suffer needlessly. Cannabis has been used as a medicine for thousands of years in China, India, and many other parts of the world.
