"FINAL NAIL" SHOULD BE CONSIDERED

Jackson-D'Ambrosi is incorrect when claiming that marijuana cannot be
considered medicine. Libba is also wrong in saying, "If there is any
future for marijuana as a medicine, it lies in its isolated
components, the cannabinoids and their synthetic derivatives ..."

May I respectfully suggest looking to GW Pharmaceuticals' "Whole plant
Extract," which is due shortly to complete its final acceptance by
Britain's Medicines Control Agency after a series of very successful
trials. The first product will be available at the end of this year.

Its success put the final nail in the coffin of the false claims of
the U.S. government that cannabis is not a medicine.
