0 63SIERRA Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 I agree there has not been an honest evaluation of the usefulness of canabis as a medication. However, there are already known side effects, so the statement, "this is about treatment without side effects" is disengenuous. An honest evaluation will show if the clinical effectivness outweighs the side effects. The side effects will also be more objectively evaluated. The great thing though they can extract different chemicals out of cannibis, like cannibinioid, and other chemicals that target certain ailments. like seizures, epilepsy, ect. The govt tried to make it " a cut and dried " drug so to speak, and smoking it until you were retarted is all they wanted to ever promote it was good for.

I' will stand by that statement unless a twinkie binge is what you refer to........side effects of any medication on the market today compared to cannabis in raw form, are not even remotely close......with what they will be able to uncover in the near term, will do wonders for whole host of bad stuff tht aflicts so many every day without having to add all those disclaimers at the end.....we all see the commercials everyday. No one is claiming tht it is a cure for anything "YET".......but the help it may provide in lieu of, will be a blessing to many. Do yourself a favor.....buy some gold and silver! The printing presses are in overdrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
