"medicinal marijuana" is hilarious to me.

I'm a little confused Trex. If it's beneficial for your mental health then it's probably having some kind of a positive medical benefit. Isn't mental health a good thing?

Pretty sure there are some confirmed cases of folks benefiting medically: Dravet's Syndrome (childhood epilepsy), Parkinson's disease, and appetite restoration for Chemo Therapy patients.

It's why the HHS recently recommended to switch MJ to Schedule 3, which means the Feds would finally recognize it's medicinal value. The DEA has never ignored an HHS recommendation and gone against it. If that occured here it'd be a first.

It's really a rabbit hole into how we haven't truly figured out how the human body completely works yet. Fascinating for would be arm-chair biologists or folks that like science.

Each of us have an Endocannabinoid system that is involved in homeostasis, essentially the system that is responsible for keeping our body in balance.

So you actually produce THC-like chemicals within your body naturally even if you never smoked weed ever in your life. Anandamide is one of those cannabinoids that your body produces and means bliss in Sanskrit. That and a few other naturally occurring cannabinoids that circulate throughout your body to achieve homeostasis.

THC, CBD, and terpenes are the major components of the cannabis plant that when smoked or eaten produce the weed 'high' effect. THC and CBD are exogenous cannabinoids that bind to the receptor sites usually waiting for Anandamide and your natural cannabinoids. With THC you will get a 'high' effect and with CBD an 'anti-inflamatory' effect that doesn't give a high feeling. The two do modulate each other in terms of effect. Terpenes and flavonoids provide that smell that most associate with cannabis. THC and CBD are odorless.

Lastly there is something called the Entourage effect that has been hypothesized to account for the vary effect that different strains produce based on their cannabinoid profile.

What I'm getting at is weed science has been swimming along nicely in the research world for several years. In learning about weed, scientists discovered the Endocannabinoid system that we each have within us. Currently in medical school new doctors are just now beginning to learning about this, but any doctor over the age of 45 was not trained on this system.

The oncology people threatened to cut us off if she ever used weed. Either they never noticed or they did and said nothing, probably a hollow threat from the insurance company.

Weak-ass delta 8 here, too. Medical cards technically exist in Georgia, esp for cancer patients, but it's slow going.

Pharma companies are not a good model to follow.

This plant can grow in your backyard or your closet if it is legal to do so in your state.

Trex, go talk to a Chemo Patient. Go talk to a Parkison's patient. Go talk to the parent of Dravet's Syndrome kid. You know - replace the ideas you made up in your head - with actual facts from actual people.

Your lack of empathy for people with real diagnosed medical conditions is telling.

ahh yeah the miracle of modern medicine

"Hey everybody, let's artificially prolong the life-span of the species' worst genetic products, thereby enabling them to find each other and produce even worse genetic products, and totally give the middle finger to the righteous filter of natural evolution"

Yeah, that's gonna be good for the species as a whole. I wonder if it will lead to epidemic levels of mental illness, overpopulation, genetic disorders and general social unrest.

nahh, it couldn't. We know better than nature does, our ~100 years of medical research absolutely knows what is best for the species, not ~millions of years of evolution.

There is no way we can fail.

Exactly as the Founding Father's envisioned.

Hope you never need an Oncologist guy. If you do ever need one be sure to fill him in on what you have cooking in your tin foil hat.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is clinically proven to inhibit cancer cell growth

hey hey, hey hey, smoke weed every day, it keeps the oncologist away.
