It’s the deconstruction of therapeutic medicine. A substance which is touted as a cureall without side effects is snake oil, in fact this is a cannabis product name. Children are subjected to unregulated exposure, coincidentally the best way of ensuring a steady supply of future consumers.

I don’t see those claims in the article. Here’s what I do see:
“There is now promising research into the use of marijuana that could impact tens of thousands children and adults, including treatment for cancer, epilepsy and Alzheimer’s, to name a few. With regard to pain alone, marijuana could greatly reduce the demand for narcotics and simultaneously decrease the number of accidental painkiller overdoses, which are the greatest cause of preventable death in this country.”
