I agree with you 100%. This argument has nothing to do with illness or effective medication. It is only about marijuana advocates claiming that it is a cure for basically any medical problem and that is why it should be “legalized”. If it were an effective treatment for various maladies with no nasty side effects drug companies would be all over it.

I can always count on most FR prohibitionists to include at least one fallacy in nearly every post. Tis’ funny!

How do you have knowledge of what drug companies would or would not be doing regarding cannabis? You’re on the board of one? A salesman for them?

The person in the article says they experienced symptomatic relief when using cannabis & prohibitionists get all bent about it. Hilarious.

High blood pressure
Kidney damage
And thats over the counter Advil.

You keep saying that, but it is not true. Federal law makes it a practical impossibility even to conduct research, much less develop products.
