...Like the sea, like the sky, like a pair of Levi's, like that Miles Davis song, Hooker was all blues. In fact, Miles once said that Hooker was so infused with the sound of the Delta that he described the bluesman as "buried up to his neck in mud." Hooker wasn't all blues all by himself: there was Blind Lemon Jefferson and Charley Patton before him, B.B. King and Muddy Waters right there with him, and many, many performers after him.

That ingredient, called delta 9 THC, is available by prescription under the name Dronabinol. The problem at this point is that Dronabinol is taken orally, and it doesn?t often do much good for patients who are nauseated, and the oral form often doesn?t deliver a whole lot of the drug to the patients? system. Drug companies are trying to figure out more effective delivery systems, like inhalers and suppositories...
