The ONLY reason that the benefits of weed (and other natural substances) aren't studied is that nobody can make money off it. So Big Pharma throws some lobbyists at it to keep the research money away. Same reason we can vaccinate our dogs for Lyme disease, but not our kids. No money to follow. That's changing. I just saw an article in the paper, retail sales in CO were $1.2 billion over the last year. It's taxed at around 25% I believe. True, but it is the farmers and distribution chain making the money rather than the drug companies.

Lots of things can cause Schizophrenia or Heart attacks if abused. Big Pharma will have you believe everything causes Death, except for the things they market. Have you ever watched a drug commercial when they list all the possible side affects? They don't list all the possible side effects, just the most common ones.

Needs more research= needs more grant money Of course, but the amount of money required to do basic investigative research on a few natural products (including pot, but also other herbal "remedies") is orders of magnitude less than what is currently spent on pharma. Wouldn't it be nice to know if Ginko Biloba actually does something one way or the other?

Wouldn't be surprised to see big pharma jump in though.

there's a lot of study's on using mushrooms to treat cluster headaches, especially this and depression, where micro dosing really helps and the patient is not actually getting high. i have a buddy who suffers from cluster headaches and he has been using them for yrs to control the headaches. so i think stuff like this should be studied. only problem is no one can make money off it because pretty much anyone can grow their own. https://clusterbusters.org/forums/t...cybin-clusters-enter-the-lab/#entry49970

Peanuts cause digestive problems, tightness of the throat and shortness of breath.
Alcohol causes sex with ugly people.
Life causes death - historically there is a 100% correlation between the two.

BarryC: I dealt with marijuana users professionally for 29 years - in addition to that I have carefully observed those that use marijuana throughout my adult lifetime (55+ years) and I conclude this:
#1: Anyone who thinks marijuana is a "harmless" drug is an idiot!
#2: Anyone who thinks marijuana is "good" for you is an idiot!
#3: Anyone that thinks marijuana is NOT a "gateway" drug is an idiot!
PERIOD!

PERIOD! The same could be said about tobacco and alcohol. It's amusing that self-professed conservatives and self-professed freedom lovers want the government to impose restrictions on other people's choice of intoxicants...while leaving their own choice of intoxicants (tobacco and alcohol and prescription opiates) alone. lol

VarmintGuy I could say exactly the same thing about Sugar. I would be willing to bet also that it causes more health problems and kills a lot more people.

VarmintGuy Considering that you are an extraordinary example of an idiot, most do well to simply ignore the horsechit you spew.
