FDA SHOWS HYPOCRISY IN MARIJUANA POLICY

In response to "Synthetic marijuana drug to return to market" (May
17):First the Food and Drug Administration claims marijuana has no
medical value (April 21, "FDA finds no use for marijuana"). Then it
approves a synthetic version of the active ingredient for vomiting and
nausea from chemotherapy. Anyone else see the hypocrisy here?
