You know, if one is genuinely stuck on a desert island, is that really so unreasonable? The increased appetite it confers will help with getting used to whatever diet you will be able to scavenge. I'd want really low grade, seedy shake, though. So I could plant the seeds and grow hemp for fiber and nutrition.
Personally, I would want a big stash of benadryl. I'm going to be allergic to something there. I'd say loratidine, except that the sedative side effect of diphenhydramine would actually be a mercy.
I know there is no "right" answer to these questions, but I'd be interested to hear better answers than the original.
Oh, it is completely reasonable to want the marijuana. It just isn't reasonable to mention it in a professional interview. The right answer? Anything medical that could potentially help in the case of an illness. Azithromycin, morphine, buproprion, escitalopram, ibuprofen; all of these have clear medical uses that are reasonably common. It wasn't a gaffe because the answer didn't make sense. It was just a situationally stupid thing to say.
