The problem with medical marijuana is the same problem we have with all natural products: you can't quality control them. The amounts of active ingredients change based on things like growth conditions, time of year, pressure from predators, etc. Plus, you're talking about a whole family of related compounds, not just one single compound. The only way to standardize dosages would be to use synthetic THC. Which we already have, as marinol.
