no, we have no “facts” on this case: what other drugs were used with or without the marijuana, and what dosage of any of them were given to her.
As for “pub med” and other published studies: no, we need double blind studies, not merely looking up research studies that show one chemical in marijuana works for seizures in research animals.
Herbal medicines vary in content and amount per gram, and we have no idea what is going on.
There are a lot of fake articles on medical marijuana...and a lot of money (soros’ Open society funds a lot of them) to try to legalize all drugs.
Which is exactly why the laws need to change that allows studies done with marijuana.
The histrionics over this plant should have died a long time ago.
That's part of the problem. As the federal laws now stand in the USA, randomized, double blind studies with sufficiently large samples can't get federal funding.
Federal law categorizes marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance, in the same category as heroin, LSD and methaqualone - substances deemed to have no acceptable medical use and a high potential for abuse. This bars any possibility of distributing Charlotte's Web beyond state lines, makes it nearly impossible for it to be tested in the type of large-scale clinical research that brings traditional prescription drugs to market, and even hampers a thorough understanding of how medical marijuana reduces seizures."It's kind of sad, but right now, when it comes to clinical trials and FDA-approved studies in the U.S., the government is not in a place where it's going to allow that to happen," Stanley says.
Who'a making the argument that opioid analgesics are not needed because heroin, diacetyl morphine, IIRC, has been deemed worse than useless?
