People who use pot for nausea and pain consistently report an improved quality and quantity of sleep as an unexpected side effect.
They also report using substantially fewer prescription medications of all kinds than is normally expected for people suffering from the same illnesses who don't use pot.
The latter fact means we can expect the Bush administration to be extraordinarily determined in their efforts to prevent the kinds of clinical trials needed for FDA approval of marijuana as a medicine.
Because medical marijuana means disaster for Big Pharm. I'm not at all kidding about that. When one medication can replace five or six, the companies that make the five or six need to worry.
