Either way, it does not duplicate the full mixture of compounds found in the smoke, it only isolates one active ingredient.
That seems flawed to me.
A friend on chemo pointed out that the pills they gave him (THC) did not have the same effect on his appetite as the weed, and that in his opinion the weed was not only more effective, it was cheaper, too.
“cheaper too” - Bingo!
Big Pharma sure is wagging the dog on this one. What a bloody racket. Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em!
