All the instances that you mention can be treated with oral THC, which provide the pain and nausea relief purportedly provided by marijuana. So, why the insistence on the leaf?
Why "purportedly"? Marijuana contains THC just as the pill does - why would it not provide the same relief?
provided by marijuana.
Oral administration is much slower onset, so much harder to adjust ("titrate") to the minimum currently-effective dose.
Oral THC is a stupid joke and does not have the efficacy of other methods.
It is not the THC that pain sufferers want. It is the CBDs and terpenes. Terpenes (which by the way are already 100% legal) like Limonene, Pinene, Beta-Caryophylene, and Linalool.
Free yourself from your obsession with THC.
I think you may be correct. My friend was on a pill.
I just know you can’t get it from a regular doctor which is a shame.
I will also add that I don’t have a problem with someone with cancer smoking marijuana if it gives them any relief.
My problem is that in California MM is basically a way of people getting it for recreational use. The shops are sleezy, and the product is unreliable.
I’d rather it be dispensed like other meds. Of course getting drugs approved by the FDA is a whole other mess.
