Medicinal gum

[bandit957]

Anyone ever use medicinal chewing gum?

Back when I was 12, I caught some virus. I had already missed too much school, so the doctor recommended a medicinal gum in a futile attempt to treat it. I brang this gum to school. But you couldn't blow bubbles with it, because it was too stiff.

I remember that this gum was red, and it was completely ineffective as a medicine.

This would have been 1985-86. Do they still make gum like this? Or did they just give up because it was so ineffective?

Nicotine Gum isn't medicinal enough for you?

I'm surprised there isn't cannabis gum. Maybe there's some technical reason for that, because I assume someone would have done it already if there wasn't.

1.  I think it has to do with how well or how poorly it's absorbed by different tissues in your mouth.

2.  It does exist, just not in most US markets.
