The FDA has approved the synthetic cannabinoid drug Cesamet to treat chemotherapy related issues.
Like marijuana, Cesamet probably doesn’t cause lung cancer, either, but unlike marijuana, it’s not very effective for treating the the nausea associated with chemotherapy.
Thanks again, FDA.

Charges against 16 year old Clayton Smith for driving under the influence of marijuana were finally dropped when a blood test showed that he had no traces of marijuana in his system after an accident. A charge for driving too fast for conditions was not dismissed, though.
Why the hell was Smith even charged in the first place? What evidence did they have of intoxication? That he was driving too fast? In my experience most people who get pulled over while under the influence of marijuana are driving too slowly and are charged with impeding the flow of traffic or similar charges.
I’ve never met Smith, but I suppose he’s probably some scruffy stoner-looking kid who police just figured had to be high because he didn’t smell like booze. He probably never should have been charged in the first place, but in the war on drugs overzealous police and prosecutors are often tempted to shoot first and think later.
