The Story

I happened to be watching a TV program where every 10 minutes or so there was a drug commercial and at the end you were told to "Ask your doctor".  

In an effort to sell more of their drugs, the pharmaceutical industry keeps us well informed about their products.  The left side of the box contains a huge number of pills that the drug companies try to persuade us to take to relieve our aches and pains or cure our health problems.  Etched at the bottom of the panel is a man struggling to pay for these medications, clearly communicating the high cost of medical these days.  The right side of the box contains a natural drug that the government has declared illegal, even though it has been shown to be useful!

If the pharmaceutical industry had discovered this drug (marijuana) and patented it, you (the public), would be able to obtain it!

(Since Ted created this box, cannabis has become legal in many states around the country and many large pharmaceutical companies are pouring money and research into the category.)
