How to Make Medicine

Step 1: Invent a disease.

Step 2: Find a drug that already has FDA approval and use it to treat the imaginary illness.

Step 3: Get a bunch of experts to say how many peoples' lives will be improved after their imaginary illness is cured.

Step 4: Test the treatment of the imaginary illness on some unsuspecting dopes. Or non-dopes. Whatever.

That is how the treatment for "marijuana addiction" was born! Now studies will be conducted to "help people be cannabis-free". I learned a lot of really cool things about marijuana addiction.

Did you know...

That cannabis is the most widely used illegal substance?

That some people may become dependant on cannabis?

That the reason that people are unaware of the existence of cannabis addiction is because there is no recognized treatment for it?

"It's more of psychological addiction; the more you enjoy the effects so you want more of them," one expert said.

Smoking pot may effect your ability to learn! We interviewed some college kids on campus and they can't be wrong!


I am surprised that the most widely used illegal substance could be addictive and nobody would realize this until they came up with a medicine to treat it. Is that how it worked with Viagra? Men didn't know their boners were broken until Viagra came along?

There are a lot of other substances, besides marijuana, that I enjoy on a regular basis, such as coffee, junk food, pop, ibuprofen, alcohol and chocolate. I wonder how long it will take for a Good Doctor to cure me of my need to use all of these enjoyable crutches.
