    But then people won’t get the answer they want to hear. Germany had a huge fad of St. John’s wort as a cure for depression, so the government funded a massive double blinded trial of pharma antidepressant vs St. John’s wort versus placebo.

    Placebo was by far most effective. People want a pill to fix everything.

      Right…. But they did the massive study. So good on them. Record it in the books of medicine and move on. When will we get to see a massive study on cannabis without the taint of prohibition?

      I would love to get a massive study on the long terms of health effects of cannabis. Any medicinal value that may be lingering around there, and if there is absolutely no medicinal value…… I’d love to study and in comparison to tobacco and alcohol. Maybe we can regulate it like the other two.
