This thread is about synthetic cannaboids, not smoked marijuana.

Did you actually read the article?

from the article:

Neuroscientist Mary Abood first became interested in cannabinoids after hearing about ALS patients who got some relief from smoking marijuana.

I guess one sentence about how someone got interested in research over-rides 10 paragraphs about synthetic cannibinoid research.
