I differ with you - the pharmaceutical companies should be the suppliers, the same as with other drugs. We live in a free market society, and theoretically at least, people make their money by working, and this includes employees of pharmaceutical companies.
You may worry about excessive profit from marijauna, but I worry about too little. Since no pharmaceutical company could claim exclusivity and patent marijuana, one big problem is going to be testing and certified supply.
Perhaps the companies may come out with hybrids which are just as effective, but less intoxicating, which they could then patent, or perhaps they may come out with hybrids that are more effective. But as the law now stands, they can do no work with any of the compounds -
