Most of the legitimate healthcare industry says medical marijuana is a fraud. Medical marijuana is political movement for potheads. It's not a legitimate scientific or health industry issue.
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).[/b]
And they do studies on the medicinal value of pot? I think not.

Again, where is this "most of" you speak of.
