somehow those medical uses have never made it into the medical literature in the form of controlled studies.

"There is conclusive or substantial evidence that cannabis or cannabinoids are effective:
For the treatment of chronic pain in adults (cannabis) (4-1)
As antiemetics in the treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (oral cannabinoids) (4-3)
For improving patient-reported multiple sclerosis spasticity symptoms (oral cannabinoids) (4-7a)

"There is moderate evidence that cannabis or cannabinoids are effective for:
Improving short-term sleep outcomes in individuals with sleep disturbance associated with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and multiple sclerosis (cannabinoids, primarily nabiximols) (4-19)"

Apparently, you have never perused the NORML website. It promotes the idea that marijuana is perfectly safe.

Still peddling this falsehood even after I showed you the truth (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3597432/posts?page=73#73)? For shame.

I already deconstructed your "references" before; cherry-picked quotes from research papers that actually do not say what marijuana legalization advocates claim they say do not, in fact, amount to evidence of actual medical uses of marijuana. If I remember correctly, many of those references were talking of the cannabinoid receptor, and not marijuana at all.

Seriously, still trying to back pedal on that? If you are trying to refute my statement that NORML is still pushing the narrative that marijuana is perfectly safe, how about quoting and linking the passage directly from the NORML website that contradicts me? Everything I've read on NORML's website supports their narrative that marijuana is completely safe.

If I will be honest, you come across as someone who is probably addicted and is in deep denial about the dangers of the addiction. Have you thought about getting help for that?
