more and more people are starting to use marajawana for medicen, i have started to do research because it seems like a enteresting topic,and before i judge some thing i like to no what i am talking about,i found were there are many difernt types of marijuana,and each type efects you in a differnt way, so it can be used to treat differnt types of illness, or symptoms, are they lieing to me? as time goes on what medications do you think could be replaced by marijuana, has any one ever brought up a cost differnce between marijuana and some of the priscription drugs, and who it is efecting. i am very interested in this topic because i have started useing marijuana for my own medical problem,and it helps better than any thing else i have tried, with fewer side efects. and i still work and carry on like most other people, and i have to admit my health seems better than alot of people. i am very enterested in this topic so any true info you can tell me would be great. ifyoudisegreePLSxplain

No they won't. They can't patent the chemical composition of the various cannabis strains.
If you look at Artemesia ... they use it in Chinese medicine and now western science has found out it cures drug-resistant malaria. The pharmaceutical industry has spent money and effort to create something very similar to the active ingredient in Artemesia. (it took them 300 tries) But they also admit that in twenty years or so the malaria bug will probably develop a resistance to it. Not that it matters to the pharmaceutical shareholders. They will have made their money by then and a new drug can be developed and it keeps the pharmaceutical industry in business.
The argument is that they can not grow enough Artemesia to provide enough drugs for the world's population affected by malaria.
For all the money they have spent on developing this drug they will spend nearly three times as much on promoting and advertising it. Who are they kidding?
It's the same with cannabis. The day they are able to mimick the plant in a synthesized pill will be the day they start to gain from it. And that is all they're interested in ...
The ones that would really benefit from it would be the tobacco industry. Or even the confectionary industry. As in space chocolates ...

For a start the drug companies will have plenty more guinea pigs to experiment on. That's people like you via your GP once the paranoia sets in. Prescription drugs will be used to get you down from your psychosis and lift you out of the mania you`ll be in. The younger you are in age the more damage you`ll be causing the brain. Check out suicide rates in the under 25`s. I could go on all night about why I disagree but if your`e sat there stoned, (judging by your spelling you are) then its all going to go way over your head..Get all the facts behind you and proceed with great caution.

Medicines are drugs that are prescribed by a medical person for health reasons. The dosage must not be exceeded as it will further damage your health that is why it is illegal.
Drug companies spend a lot of money to research so they are expected to charge for it to pay the shareholders.
If you are taking any drugs however mild, it is still illegal as it will lead on to harder stuff which can be habit forming

I don't think I'm going to give you an intelligent answer. Your question is ludicrous and your spelling is worse.
