I'll raise you one better. Cannabis is Schedule I, that means per the DEA there are no known safe medical uses for the drug. But if you synthesize out the primary active ingredient and bundle it in capsule, the DEA happily recognizes that as a mere Schedule III drug, and you get get a prescription for it even in states where cannabis remains illegal at the state level. It goes by the brand name Marinol.
