There are plenty of people on FR that want you to believe MJ is as big of a medical discover as penicillin.
What irks me are the news stories about some sick child that cannot get their medical marijuana in some states and will cause them to move.
#1. If your child needs it then move.
#2. If your child needs it just go buy some. Prosecutors and cops aren’t out there to deny this type of use.
It is. Only now is science unlocking the secrets of that plant.
Big secret: It has nothing to do with THC.
It has everything to do with other, non-psychoactive constituents, like terpenes.
There is a component in MJ that kills cancer.
There is a component in MJ that has anti-seizure properties. Antispamsmodic, antianxiety, et al: It's all in pot.
I'm a fan. If not for MJ my back pain would preclude me from getting out of bed. MJ helps me live a quasi-normal life. MJ has saved my life in that regard. Alternative: fusing my vertebrae, with no guarantee of decreased pain.
