Exactly. Believe we'll see limited benefits for a very small, specific population but pretty significant

Maybe. BUT the research you linked to and from the OP article

CarolinaCoug

2/11/19 12:50pm

Don't believe we ever talked about addictive properties. It would most likely be psychological anyway.

This is what is maddening.

The Fed needs to re classify it today so it can be researched more thouroighly

Should've pointed out that the study was conducted by the University of Utah.

CBD has a lot of benefits, but really ≠ marijuana as most people know it

Don't be too quick to dismiss the potential of THC. It is necessary for efficacy

yes the cannabdiols can be very helpful, but no need to smoke MMJ

This is one of my two issues with legal MJ in my state: 1. smoking THC is harmful to virtually everyone,even if it holds

After a review of research let me correct you.

What are your sources for your assertions? Also, you are bringing up issues that I did not (ie addiction)

OceanMang

Nope. There is nothing harmless about marijuana smoke

BeardedSpock

2/11/19 1:02pm

Exactly. It’s a fact that smoke in the lungs is not good. No debate there.

Virginia Ute

2/11/19 1:12pm

Correct....but at what rates? Water in the lings isnt either.

CarolinaCoug

2/11/19 2:19pm

Water in the lungs? I don’t get that comparison.

Virginia Ute

2/11/19 2:24pm

Smoking cigarettes...pipe different impact. Cigars..different effect..mj,

CarolinaCoug

2/11/19 7:26pm

Yeah. Like I said. Smoke is bad for the lungs. Period.

Virginia Ute

2/11/19 7:35pm

Correct. Some smoking inhalants are worse than others.

CarolinaCoug

2/11/19 8:12pm

Somewhere between bad for you and really bad for you.

Virginia Ute

Yep, which why aspirating water is bad.

I believe if you isolate the chemicals w/ therapeutic value to be administered in better methods

soupie

Yes it needs reclassification immediately. Rec use and med use are separate

CarolinaCoug

2/11/19 2:27pm

Hard to draw those conclusions w/o better testing.

soupie

2/11/19 4:43pm

I can find a plethora of reputable scientific articles that promote both sides

OceanMang

2/11/19 2:14pm

Well, I agree with you that marijuana should be studied more

BeardedSpock

2/11/19 7:21pm

This is my thinking as well.

CarolinaCoug

2/11/19 7:25pm

Legalizing it for use isn't necessary for research. In fact, that would be pretty dangerous. It does need to

You mean that "coukd" be pretty dangerous. Though

Legalizing it would remove the stigma and eliminate the black market. More

My prediction is that medical MJ will not replace opioids as a viable option for sever pain control.

Totally? Of course not too much variability in people.

The point of bringing sucessful people up is that not all people who smoke weed are brain dead pot heads.
