No, what you did do was baselessly whine about meta-analyses: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/3603444/posts?page=163#163.

Really? The fact that you want to believe, even if the "evidence" is in the form of meta-analyses--which are to scientific research what fast food is to fine dining--does not make me a whiner. Meta-analyses are the least reliable form of "research", and controlled studies are the most reliable. Can you link to the PubMed reference any controlled studies that demonstrate that there is, or potentially could be, a medical use for marijuana or any of its components?

As I've quoted to you before: "Use of cannabis, to the extent that it impairs health, personal development or achievement, is abuse, to be resisted by responsible cannabis users." - http://norml.org/marijuana/personal/item/principles-of-responsible-use

Well, at least you linked to NORML this time, and not to some post on FR. The fact remains, however, that NORML still pushes marijuana use as a harmless pastime. The statement you quoted does not change that. Where is the section in the NORML website that honestly discusses some of the most recent findings on marijuana use? Where is NORML's warning that people who use marijuana while their brains are still developing (up to age 25) can develop psychotic disorders?

So you've repeatedly claimed and never supported.

No, that "fact" is your bizarre delusion in the face of evidence explicitly to the contrary.
