At the District Court level [70], the District Court denied their motion for an injunction (a legal action effectively halting, in this case, government conduct). Raich and Monson appealed to the Federal Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit [71]. The Ninth Circuit reversed the District Court’s ruling, holding that the use of medical marijuana pursuant to the Compassionate Use Act is a “separate and distinct” activity and sufficiently “different in kind from drug trafficking” prohibited by the CSA.

In addition, the cost of smoked marijuana is considerably cheaper. “The cost of producing cannabis is about a dollar an ounce, and medical distribution would add at most a few more dollars. There are about 60 marijuana cigarettes in an ounce, and the average dose is one cigarette or less” [45]. A 2003 survey of 400 physicians, both general practitioners and specialists in the Netherlands, was performed just before the legal introduction of medicinal cannabis. Only 6% said that, under no condition, were they willing to prescribe medicinal marijuana, while 60% to 70% regarded medicinal cannabis sufficiently socially accepted and would prescribe it if asked for by a patient [46].
