Indeed. It has also shown to have a great effect on neuropathic pain which does not respond well to traditional pain killers. Its ludicrous that marijuana is schedule 1. Similarly LSD had some very promising studies for psychiatric use right before it was made illegal. Anything but the most physically addictive drugs should be banned from medical research. Puritanical beliefs should never interfere with medical advancement.

I think it would depend a lot of the specific drug. Marijuana earned the nick name weed for a reason. Taxing it would be essentially pointless since you can grow it almost anywhere. Heroin, opium, and others are more difficult and thus could be regulated easily. The reason the tax on tobacco works so well is because it is so hard to grow effectively.
