i agree with tip top ... again..

but yah, there is no way in hell big pharma is gong to go broke if weed is legalized.. people are still going to take opiates and benzo's till the end of time.. firstly because they're addictive, and secondly, you get way more buzz from either product over weed ime..
not only that, but come on, weed doesn't cure everything.. if i have a wicked headaches, i can't get hear weed, yet an asprin does the trick... despite what some people think, weed is not the end all, be all, cure all drug they make it out to be..
and lastly agreeing with tip top, not everyone is going to smoke weed if offered.. my 73 year old mother who has been told weed is the evil drug all of her life isn't suddenly going to start smoking weed if it were legal, or a legal alternative to some of her other meds..
big pharma makes big money on things that weed simply isn't a substitute for..
