Cancer and the drug companies

For the intellectually challenged among us, anyone can look up the research done which is what I suggested. Unfortunately there are those here who can't grasp such a simple concept.

How do you know they haven't?

Speaking of simple concepts, have you posted links to, and discussions about the work conducted? Or is it 'go find the things that agree with me, and read them unquestioningly until you agree with me', again?

I for one support legalising Cannabis and I have never ever seen or smoked a leaf - ever!

no leaf.. how about... The flowers

[Zedder]

The people lobbying to legalise Cannabis are those who want to smoke it.

I see you've jumped to the "smoke it" conclusion there. What about the injestion of cannabis? How efficacious is it?

It's a never ending argument obviously. Until you look up the research and development that has been done you can ever go around in circles.

I looked up the research quite a while ago but was interested that you jumped to the smoking conclusion without thinking of alternatives which give people an option of a pain relieving drug.

Doctors and pharmacists must love you.

It's a pleasure giving opiod that you can get high on while numbing the pain, obviously it is a never ending argument of efficacy and abuse. I reckon it'll go the way of oxy soon.

Cannabis on the other hand, seem to be less open to direct drug abuse, and the availability makes it less open to criminal elements too. I bet a study comparing the two would make for interesting reading...

As far as I'm aware it's the heating of the cannabis that makes the THC become psychoactive.

Apparently juicing cannabis means that you can get the benefit of the THC without getting stoned.

My point about smoking was specifically stated. Most of those making the most noise about legalising it are those who want to smoke it and get high.

As usual with KB some are incapable of simply taking what is posted, as posted, and have to put their own interpretation on things.

And what if it turns out that health benefits can be had even when 'getting high'?

PS. If you recall the research, the general conclusion was that the results of testing showed there are more effective drugs freely available already.

Also, that most high ups and medical people have no issues with exploring the possible benefits.

So my question is why are the exponents of Cannabis so hung up on it?

You don't do much research on anything, do you? You far prefer imagination and hypothesis.

Perhaps KB is more concerned with ensuring different pain meds are weighed up on their merits/research; instead of just flinging shit at stoners...

Novel concept I know, but go do some research about it

Really Ed?

With research indicating the considerable number of benefits that THC can provide, do you refuse to consider the possibility that cannabis could offer 'preventative' benefits as well as benefits in 'treatment'?
