“Because of a lack of comprehensive study on the side effects of medical marijuana use and little regulation of dosage and consistency in product, the review by physicians and researchers at McGill University and the University of Michigan recommends against its use for the treatment of pain.”
Yup. But did you know that it’s almost IMPOSSIBLE to do the studies in the US because MJ is a Schedule 1 drug - highly addictive with no medical benefit.
As researchers try to jump through the governmental hoops to ACTUALLY DO THE STUDIES, they just get more roadblocks thrown in front of them by the government.
In Spain and Israel - countries where the government really does allow the research - they’re finding a ton of benefits.
Saying, “There are not enough studies to conclude that marijuana has a benefit,” and saying, “We, the government, refuse to allow anyone to DO ANY studies,” is disingenuous, to say the least.
