// From the Episode
Todd McCormick discussed how a friend had attempted to create generic Marinol, which is essentially synthetic THC. The panel debated how pharmaceutical companies try to control cannabinoid medicine through synthetic versions, while grassroots producers can make high-potency extracts cheaply. McCormick argued that once cannabis is legal, pharma's monopoly on cannabinoid medicine collapses because anyone can produce extracts at low cost.
