....”Maybe because they have seen research that some of the fabulous medicinal claims made for marijuana are more wishful thinking than fact. At least that is the consensus from the physicians that I know (admittedly a limit sample)”.....

Probably so..... ...interesting in this area a clinic opened to sign people up for Gov. medical marijuana cards. An acquaintance paid the $200. Dr's fee to explain their health issue and meet with a Physician to advise on dosage etc. He apparently didn't 'prescribe' anything specific rather 'suggested' she start with a low dosage and see if she found relief..and increase the dosage over a few weeks until she did. That sounded like he wasn't going to risk a prescribed dose and more like leaving up to the person to find their way by hit or miss?. So that reveals they really don't have all the data on usage and effect etc.

As I explained, they can't by federal alw.

Or that they have enough data to know that effects vary significantly from person to person, so starting low is the prudent way to go. My doctor has raised the dosage of my blood pressure medication twice - is that somehow suspect?
