While it may be a long time, (or never) before it gets FDA Aproval;
in any "Fair" competitive market; Insurance Costs should Be Lower for Patients that Cover a great number of "High Priced Meds" By Substituting MedPot..
if the Insurance Co's Won't Respond; Then Medical Pot users should form thier own associations That would Better serve thier needs; as thier Numbers will Surely Rise to Powerfull Regional groups; with the Withdrawl of the Threats of Federal "Persecution"..
Combine that with Proactive Nutrition, a pay as you go Risk assesment; and a Ballance Wholistic approach; we Could Create a Model That Would Put the Medical/Pharmacuitical/Insurance Cycle Out of BIZ..
..or at least Provide an Alternative for People That Care about Responsible Living;
Not Blaming Others, for thier Self Indulgent Choices; and Refusing to accept the Costs of thier Lifestyle.

I know it doesn't in Canada.
Though it's not street-expensive, either~~and the quality of it is far superior than anything you could possibly obtain on the street---it's like a completely different drug.

And the $20.00 you spend on it is worth more like $200 in street quantity too....so I wouldn't worry about whether or not it's covered. Just be glad you don't have the anxiety of it being illegal,
Truthfullly...
Namaste! xo
