Promise for ... what? First of all, it cures nothing. It's used to relieve symptoms. Second, for each of the conditions you mentioned there are already 10 FDA approved drugs out there proven do the job better and safer.
Yes, scientists are researching some compounds contained within marijuana that appear to help with some diseases. But to conclude that smoking marijuana is therefore beneficial is like saying that because some chemical compound contained in gasoline helps with sore muscles, gasoline is safe to drink.
Lastly, if you, as an investor, had $50 million to invest in medical research, would you spend that money on researching marijuana for glaucoma?
What’s wrong with alleviating symptoms with an inexpensive remedy?
How many of those 10 FDA approved drugs will be the subject of class action lawsuits, driven by ambulance chasing lawyers?
Marijuana also helps out with the nausea associated with chemotherapy. You cannot deny that it also improves the appetite, LOL!
I honestly cannot answer your question to whether I would invest 50 million in anything. It goes over my head. I can’t even afford to get a second hand car, right now.
I’d like to see a more active role in homeopathic medicine. Sometimes the old ways are still very relevant, but don’t pull in the big profits.
