Why are people so against advertising medical marijuana?

It is no different than the free pens they have at the Doctors office with names of pain killers on them!

It is effective advertising! I would rather see people use pot for pain than percocet!

    because people still hold on to the misconception that pot is bad.

    It makes no sense to me either.

    Illegal drugs bad.

    Prescription drugs approved by the FDA good.

    Nevermind the commercials that come on TV on a daily basis with lawyers asking if you took this drug and now have this and want to sue call them. I don't get it.

    My closest guess is that Big Pharma, Big Oil and Big Lumber (the three largest lobbyists in control of Congress) are threatened by marijuana and don't even want to chance it being seen in any sort of a good light by the average American.

    Well, you have used MJ so you know it works. THEY have not and believee everything told about it is sugar coated and the Devil's Door mat. But of course the drug companies don't want to advertise even their own type of MJ pills, if they still make them, I heard they had problems.
