I think the main reason that they have to be prescribed is because of the side effects and damage to the body that can be caused if over-used or mixed with the wrong other prescriptions. Those need to be controlled and/or monitored. However, Marijuana aside from the general symptoms of use, really only have the same side effects/damages of smoking cig's(which is legal). I said it before, the pharmaceutical companies would be in a world of shit if pot were legalized, because people would much rather smoke pot than keep themselves hopped up on these more dangerous chemical creations..
