I’ve watched pot stop an oncoming seizure many, many times in a user, as well as even out chemical imbalances leading to bipolar disorder and more. Once you witness first hand the effects that pot has on a person who truly medically needs it, you’ll never understand. Interestingly enough, my wife was once extremely anti-MJ, until she seen it first hand. Changed her outlook entirely, especially seeing the oncoming seizure, and seeing it stopped in its tracks. But that’s ok, now. Keep spreading the lies and ignorant propaganda.
It isn’t smoking pot that is curing people. Its the use of cannabis oil which is highly concentrated and has a very low percentage of THC. Its proving effective with cancer especially brain and lung cancer. Getting good results.
It’s the placebo effect, really. I was a heavy pot user in my youth and used to espouse the virtues of it as a calming agent for my anxiety issues. As I’ve gotten older and been sober for many years now, I found my anxiety issues were because of pot, not the other way around.
The fact that marijuana has almost zero medical use was a well a well established fact long before the left and the libertarians started demagoguing on the legalization movement.
'Nuff said.
Correct that, NO evidence that marijuana does anything that is not better controlled by another drug or no drug at all.
More precisely, "Most trials showed improvement in symptoms associated with cannabinoids but these associations did not reach statistical significance in all trials." Sick people seeking relief aren't too concerned about statistical significance.
Wait... what were we talking about...?
Don’t tell that to the dopers... don’t even try.
Sincere yet silly question: Does pot really help relieve pain, or simply make people so they don’t give a crap about it?
...though many couldn’t remember what their illness was.
I do not partake, but it seems to me that it’s largest attraction is it’s intoxicating effects.
Do we need to claim “medicinal” value for other legal intoxicants? Beer, Wine, Liquor, Tobacco? If not, then why is marijuana still illegal?
Legalize it and then increase penalties ten-fold for causing any negligent harm to people or property while under the influence of *any* intoxicant.
Done. Next issue!
It will be legal in many more States, and very soon. You Big Government Nanny Staters will just have to get over it.
Well, it’s indisputable that pot successfully treats the medical condition known as “wanting to get wasted”.
