I'd like to know where this "most of the legitimate" is.
It's not the AMA. They say further studies are needed - they are NOT saying it's not beneficial. But the government won't even allow the studies.[/b]
What do you mean the government won't allow studies?
The federal government has a licensed facility of it's own that grows marijuana for the specific purpose of scientific research. It's called the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).
