Medical marijuana is not the type you would find out in a field or growing in the wild. It is a chemical type of marijuana so that the THC is controlled and each person receives the same amount. There are so many variables that affect marijuana (homegrown) that it could never be goverment regulated.
Medical marijuana is used for glaucoma, multiple sclerosis and other neurological disorders for pain, tremors etc. It is also used to help those with AIDS and individuals who are undergoing chemotherapy. It helps stimulate the appetite despite the nausea that accompanies these therapies.
The problem with medical marijuana is that many government officials believe that people would abuse it, lie to get it and the governing bodies (federal & state) would lose the "control" and INCOME that possibly could be generated by using marijuana for medicinal purposes.
Basically what would happen is: a pharmaceutical company would get a patent for the medical marijuana for 17 years. They would control the price, availability, and then we have the insurance companies that would refuse to pay for this benefit. This is typical of every drug that is developed by a pharmaceutical company pending approval by the FDA.
Even though marijuana is considered to be an herbal remedy and the FDA refuses to regulate these remedies, the potential for income is astronomical. In the end, those who need it most or would benefit most are the ones who suffer.

This is definitely a hot topic now. I have finished reading Medical Cannabis: A Balanced, Evidence Based Look Beyond the Propaganda by Meredith K. Converse.
What an interesting read. I can't believe the amount of bullsh*t out there about the stuff.
I really learned a lot and can't believe I was so brainwashed by the media and government and of course my own family.

Medical marijuana users claim the drug helps relieve pain and suppress nausea — the two main reasons it's often used to relieve the side effects of chemotherapy.
A chemical found in marijuana stops cancer from spreading.
It also decreases the symptoms of a severe seizure disorder known as Dravet's Syndrome.

The evidence is overwhelming that marijuana can relieve certain types of pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms caused by such illnesses as multiple sclerosis, cancer and AIDS -- or by the harsh drugs sometimes used to treat them. And it can do so with remarkable safety. Indeed, marijuana is less toxic than many of the drugs that physicians prescribe every day."

1) Restores appetite in some patients undergoing chemotherapy.
2)Reduces inter-ocular pressure for glaucoma patients.
3)Some patients say it helps them cope with or reduce their chronic pain, such as severe rheumatoid arthritis or back pains.
4)Some patients say that is effective in reducing or eliminating their depression.
Note: #1 & #2 above have more scientific research to back them up than #3 & #4.
