While I can agree that the blame for continued marijuana criminalization falls to some extent with pharma companies, I don't think that I can 100% agree with the sugar aspect. If pharma develops a pill for this it's because people want to eat sugar. This will be the same for pills that eliminate hangovers (should they exist), why not just quit drinking? Simple answer is that people want to do these things, and neither should be criminalized, nor should marijuana be criminalized. Eliminating the side-effects of these products will probably be dangerous (with even more side-effects, but different ones), but I guarantee that there will still be a market for them -- especially if people can eat and drink what they want and avoid obesity, even at the cost of other aspects of their health. I really dislike pharma for attempting to continue criminalizing things like marijuana and kratom, but to apply the same logic to a pill that keeps people from gaining weight or avoiding diabetes while eating what they want is an entirely separate issue ethically and logically.
