While a herb can be used as a medicine it is not a drug, it is a plant. Drugs are synthesized from one or more usually man made components. Marijuana is a product of nature. Ambrose's ignorance is no different from climate change deniers, their personal (moral/financial) beliefs take the place of sound science. Usually to the detriment of the majority. Purely self serving, it's the Conservative way. Richard Kadziewicz, Scarborough - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
