The biggest reason pot won't be prescribed any time soon -- besides the idiot in office here in the states -- is that it's smoked. Some of the other drugs, marinol, etc, which are based on pot are another story. They're probably great things. It's the smoking part.

Did you know that smoking pot is much worse for your lungs than smoking cigarettes? Find a way around that, and you'll have a drug to study. (My friend who died in May was drinking stewed pot to combat nausea and some autoimmune symptoms. That's probably an option.)

But I very much doubt that many doctors are happy with the thought of prescribing something which is smoked to their patients. Even those doctors who do prescribe it would probably be happier if they could prescribe the sublingual spray, or something like that.
