Medicinal marijuana is a joke
It may be, it may not be. The fact that it remains a Schedule 1 narcotic prevents it from being adequately studied for any medicinal benefits. I've seen firsthand mixed results for medicinal use. I tried it for back pain, and didn't really benefit. A family member going through chemo tried it for nausea and appetite, and raved about it. But that's simply anecdotal and doesn't prove anything. I'd like to see it more heavily researched. The pharmaceutical industry does not want it researched.

I was a bit too caustic in my remarks. Medical marijuana has some limited efficacy for specific use. The one you mentioned, appetite during chemo, seems to be the most supported by data. As such, moving it to a class 2 would make sense. It has very limited success in pain control simply because smoking isn't a good way to control dosing and the amount of marijuana needed to control pain would necessitate smoking almost constantly.
