Eating cannabis takes too long to, for example, quickly relieve chemotherapy related nausea.

>> Yeah, legalization will take the money away from Mexico. I imagine the pot version of Big Pharma and Big Tobacco (Big MaryJane?!?) will profit nicely. Either way, someone profits. Wonder what the health effects of pot legalization would be? Can't see where smoking anything could be a healthy activity.
