GW Pharma is a good buy right now (I think). Even though it's up 30% just in the last few weeks, they have lots of room to grow. They're doing great things with childhood epilepsy, if I'm not mistaken. There's lots of room to make money off pot when studied properly. Medical marijuana shouldn't be a thing that people get to vote on. Recreational weed should. We all know that the medical thing is just a stepping stone to full legalization (or decrim, more likely), and that every stoner who will talk your ear off about the medicinal benefits of weed could give a fuck less, because he just wants to get high.

I agree with you that Pharma is just one more boogie man that stoners are paranoid about. No matter how much kein bud is on the streets, there will never be a shortage of opiate abusers. Since when are opiates and marijuana in the same category? Weed ins't a pain killer primarily. The high is totally different, and it's effects on most type of pain probably aren't sufficient to displace the market for non-abusers who are in need of pain management, so either way, opiates win. The British didn't fight "The Marijuana Wars," FFS.
