I have read and seen a few articles discussing the benefits it provides to people on chemo. It alleviates some of their pain and nausea, and even causes them to eat more.
I am not sure if pot should be legalized for recreational purposes, or from my experiences with it some time ago, why anyone likes it for that. It was never much of a pleasant experience for me, and more due to teen insecurity and trying to fit in with the "cool" crowd. Which is why parents should meet and get to know their kids friends very well before allowing them to go off for extended periods of time unattended
No matter how much your kids buck it and try to manipulate you with "you are a control freak!"
I do not understand why a significantly more harmful drug, alcohol, is legal and marijuana is not.
Especially if it has medical benefits with much milder side effects than the drugs provided legally.

Federal law still prohibits marijuana. A few states have legalized quantities of marijuana by anyone (some as high as 4 ounces), but of course this means nothing federally. A federal agent can still prosecute someone in a federal court for possessing any quantity of marijuana. The governments position has just changed on enforcing their power over state laws regarding marijuana by limiting access to certain federal funds.
Obama has mentioned moving marijuana out of the schedule one, to I think schedule two, which would cause the government to view it legally the same as they view Ritlin, amphetamines, cocaine, and PCP even. This would mean that the feds would acknowledge that there is some medical value to it, but still highly regulate it.
I looked up the drug you mentioned, and while it is THC, I do not think it is derived from the marijuana plant. It appears to be synthetic with a different chemical structure of THC derived from the cannabis plant. It is man made, which is why it is not classified schedule one like all forms of the THC from cannabis.
Interestingly enough, there is a lot more research that supports the medical use of marijuana than I knew about. Also, many of these medical benefits are lost in the synthetic version, marinol.
Anyone interested can view this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahydrocannabinol which is where I learned about marinol and: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_Cannabis
talks about the uses of and legal status of the cannabis plant.

Ya I agree it should not be smoked by burning it. I doubt any doctor would prescribe it in that form unless the patient was terminal.
However, some of the only clinics who distribute the actual cannabis THC, use a form that can be vaporized and inhaled inside a nebulizer. The same method a lot of COPD and asthma patients take some of their medicines. Passing a drug through the lungs can increase the effectiveness of it, and is a step under the effectiveness of injecting medication.
