It&amp;#x27;s nothing but blogspam and cranks.

But it isn&amp;#x27;t marijuana &amp;quot;itself&amp;quot; that does this. It is one or more chemical components that we can isolate, right? We&amp;#x27;ve done so many times before and created more potent medicines.&lt;p&gt;But just because these components are present in marijuana I can almost bet that it will be reduced to an argument in the fight for legalization of smoking weed.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m not saying it shouldn&amp;#x27;t be legalized (perhaps it should, perhaps it shouldn&amp;#x27;t), but that it&amp;#x27;s an entirely different question.</text></comment>
