    Started using in 4th grade 1970, and still use it today at 59 yrs old. I don't need permission, or research to know what works. And it hasn't hindered my life. I work in the technical field, running complex precision machinery. Have worked on medical devices, aircraft, and proton accelerators at MIT. Don't let laws or government tell you what's right for you.

      Vodkarage the big difference is the classification of it as a drug, not food or simply a plant. If the drug companies can patent the compound it will be controlled and protected. If they can convince the government to classify it as a drug, they can control it and its market.

      It sounds like you didn't listen to what the man said. You don't just hand the patient a dimebag of weed and say "smoke up!" The entire purpose of his research is to figure out what specific compounds are curative, what the properties of those compounds are, and then to extract them, and make properly studied, properly dosed medication. FDA's good manufacturing processes (GMP) are specified for a reason. They're there to protect patient safety so you don't kill people with meningitis or other such stuff and so you're not selling a product that won't work.
      Now I'm all for keeping drug prices down, and I'm not a huge fan of many of the big pharma companies. They have done some things which deserve criticism, but right now, you know you can go to a pharmacy, pick up a prescription and know that the drug is safe and will do what is advertised. Big pharma brings that to you. It requires an enormous amount of money, time, and dedicated research. Would you risk $2.5 billion and 10 years to develop a new drug? That's what they have to do in order to "get rich off of it", and they should be able to make money from it or they would never take the risk at meeting the demands we place on medication. You'd be like the man trying to understand why the extracts for his wife worked one day and the next time didn't.

      @Joe King If weed cured everything then my friend that smokes everyday wouldn't have a brain tumor right now.
      Anyway thc has been studied in depth already and Medical Scientists are against promoting because it depletes dopamine in the brain and can lead to chemical imbalances causing schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder and psychosis which deemed it ineffective as a "medicine". MRI scans show it dulls the prefrontal cortex, which is the area of the brain that controls goal setting decision making and more...ect..It causes many changes in the hippocampus and striatum...and thats _just_ THC, there are hundreds of other cannabinoids. Im not against pot, I used to smoke it. But stoners really act like viruses wanting to spread their weed habits on everyone else. Let people choose their own medicines and quit trying to convince the world to get high.
      TL;DR: Dont lie to yourself, you know you get stuck in "thought loops" and have paranoid thoughts on pot. Weed messes with peoples head too much for Doctors to just say yeah "smoke weed" its medicine. Further more, it's not like it takes several days of use, it can mess with your thoughts instantly.

    All I know is, cannabis has improved my life in countless ways. For one, during a rough period in my life 5 years ago, a doctor prescribed Lexipro and Xanax. I found living in Lexipro's emotional flatness bizarre and alarming. (I was also surprised by how many people want Xanax once they know you have a supply.) Cannabis, on the other hand, brought me peace, calm and even pleasure in trying times. It expanded my consciousness, helping me appreciate all the good in my life, while examining the roots of my trouble and resolving so much of it. Cannabis is a profoundly intuitive agent in the healing of all suffering.

    He didn’t really mention about the fact that it doesn’t have negative side effects. After a recent surgery I was prescribed narcotics that didn’t help my pain at all and all they did was put me to sleep. The side effects I had after stopping them 10 days post surgery lasted several weeks, not to mention the awful effects it had on my already messed up GI system that took about a month to re-regulate. I have a family history of colon cancer from both of my parents’ sides of the family so I’m interested greatly in the strain that prevents that. The stigma and horrific things they said about cannabis starting in the 1930’s has caused such a bad mindset about it that I can’t share with either of my parents, aunts/uncles, or grandparents about the healing properties of cannabis. Thankful for people like this person who was willing to stand up and combat the lies with truth. Our world needs to realize WHY it was demonized in the first place and WHY the government is so resistant to legalizing it for medical use.

    now that it's legal here in Las Vegas Nevada he can now speak about it. He told me to run don't walk and by the oil today .He said that it is the world's best anti-inflammatory there is nothing effective as CBD and to put it under my tongue once a day or as many times as I need it you do not get high from it it has too many benefits to mention it has been a miracle worker for me to be able to cope what's a pain in my joints.

Minor elements make a gigantic difference in the integrity of plant molecules. It also is very visible in the high quality of the plants. Holistic connections to the Earth are at the core of successful plant chemistry. Insects and soil fungi are the building blocks of this plants chemistry.

    It is extremely complicated. Everyone wants to break it down to THC and CBD but its totally not that easy. The interaction between all these chemicals and your brain/body will take years of research. This is the kind of data super computers will be helping us to understand. Terpenes are playing a giant roll and no one gives them enough credit, some of them are known to cause apoptosis! And cannabis can be the easiest source to harvest these things in concentration. Getting Strain specific is the first route to 'controls' for comparison, but I'm here to tell you different inputs(light, heat/cold, nutrients, air/water quality etc) mean different outputs even with the same strain. That is part of why science is having a hard time. Its these chemicals in concert with eachother having an effect, and while humans have been great at understanding and determining how single chemicals interact with our bodies, we are almost clueless when it comes to combinations and their effects or potentials. This is the magic of cannabis, this is why those 500+ compounds matter. We will discover it is 4,5,6,7 things all together that create a symphony for relief. There are few, if any other plants so complex, basically little chemical factories for us to manipulate through breeding. And this is just the medical side of the plant. FOOD, FUEL, FIBER, MEDICINE (dyk Hemp Concrete even?)

    I have Multiple health challenges including Fibromyalgia Syndrome which is so very painful. The only thing that helped me was a cannabis extract concentrate from an Indica strain with a high THC content. I was still living with health challenges but the pain was under control and I felt much happier (Not stoned!) in life. Then my government took this away and made it illegal. Then put forth so many ridiculous rules and paperwork that I simply cannot process. Then my doctor told me that it was understood and agreed that this was a beneficial medicine for me but that it was being strongly advised by higher ups that family doctors not sign the prescription papers required to make it legal for access to this drug with insufficient scientific research and proof of health benefit. Thank you for sharing your wonderful research knowledge and explanations 👍👍

However, most people who are in the know sat not to use the 0% THC, that you want some THC to help activate the CBD. However, you don't necessarily need high THC levels.

    I, too, have experienced the effects of long term cannabis use, as I have smoked it for 60 years, since I was introduced to it in Mexico City in 1960 while studying at Mexico City College. I am now 84 years old, and I have no major medical problems, and my current physician has found no evidence of this use from all my test reports. After doing my 'due diligence' I accepted the fact that cannabis is medicine, and has been used as such for hundreds of years, if not longer. You may reference that today by remembering Charlotte Figi, as Dedi Meiri does here.
    It is documented in the Anglo-Indian Report of 1895/96, as well as in the LaGuardia report of the 1930's in NYC. These two reports are noted for their lack of serious indictment of cannabis, thus the substance entered the pharmacology of the USA with it's inclusion in major publications such as the American Material Medica, Therapeutics and Pharmacognosy, 1919, as well as similar publications dating back to before 1900. It was just another medicine.
    Until what's his name showed up as head of the FBI in the 1930's. Singlehandedly he apparently turned the world against cannabis, he made it a demon, a killer ...... and the rest is history, and a very fascinating one at that.

    5000 years ago they didn't have so many lab tests and still they used it for a whole variety of conditions. They used it whole as mother nature gave it to us and ate it, distilled it as tinctures or used the buds rather than the leafs because they knew how to use it from experiential practice. Today we are trying to purify it at another level isolating compounds and maybe trying to patent them but I believe nothing is better than the whole plant. If God gave it to us this way we should use it as it is like chinese medicine still does since eons...isn't it so?

    We have cannabinoid receptors in our brains. Why? What is to " dock " into these receptors, other than a cannabinoid? Even if we never understand this system totally, our brains were made to accept cannabinoids.
    A cannabinoid is one of a class of diverse chemical compounds that acts on cannabinoid receptors, also known as the endocannabinoid system in cells that alter neurotransmitter release in the brain. Ligands for these receptor proteins include the endocannabinoids produced naturally in the body by animals; phytocannabinoids, found in cannabis and some other plants; and synthetic cannabinoids , manufactured artificially. If nothing else, cannabinoids docking in our cannabinoid receptors take our mind off the perception of pain and may actually heal us of many diseases. ( dis-ease ). Cannabis is a plant God designed, as he designed us, to potentially heal disease and bring about relief from many things beside disease, maybe if just to give us peace of mind. Wouldn't this be enough, peace of mind?

      Each species or variety of cannabis has different effects on different diseases. Like there is a cannabis plant named" purple hayze" that is excellent for people who have seizures. Like the speaker said they have to test all and see which species cannabinoid balance works best with the person's human cannabinoid factors, so as to give the correct cannabis to that Patient.
