Isn’t medical marijuana a natural plant product?

I was listening to television the other day and there were two doctors debating the use of medical marijuana.

The one doctor was talking about all the benefits of regular marijuana use. He said the only downside was when people used it only for fun. There can be an over-indulgence, and you had to know your limitations. The other doctor started yelling it was just a legal drug. Well, wasn’t alcohol a legal drug. The doctor prescribed painkillers after I had my car accident. For six months I was on these painkillers, and I spent the next six months being weaned off them. I had become dependent on the painkiller. It was a legal drug that did the same thing as the drugs you bought off the street. What I didn’t understand was that the doctor thought it was okay to give you a medicine that was made in a laboratory, but he didn’t want people to use a medicine that was a natural plant product. The doctor who was for medical marijuana chuckled. He told the other doctor that he had heard he was telling people that vegetarian and vegan lifestyles were healthy ways of living. He said that since he thought everything plant-based was healthier, then he should also be pushing medical marijuana instead of chemical based medicine. The doctor who was against medical marijuana became flustered and couldn’t talk. He couldn’t defend himself or the find the words to deny what the doctor for medical marijuana had just said. He walked off the stage and didn’t come back.
