Do more research. Then read your signature. Then lol.
You keep commenting to read my signature, when it's directed at people like you who make nonsense claims, such as ice cream making you sick every time you eat it. Don't believe everything you read on the internet, and definitely don't go around stating those things as fact.
I've eaten ice cream hundreds of times and have never gotten sick from it. Almost everyone you say that nonsense to will laugh at you.
They'd also laugh at your comparison
between ice cream, and drugs like alcohol and Cannabis.
If you think ice cream is that similar to an opioid, you must consider it medicinal, too, because opioids are definitely compounds with medicinal properties, and you must must also wonder why people don't just consume large amounts of delicious ice cream when they want to get an option buzz doing. Why waste your time getting and using prescription drugs illegally if you can just eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's?
Clinical trials have tested the effects of marijuana on diseases such as HIV/AIDS, arthritis, glaucoma, cancer, attention deficit disorder/attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, neuropathy, seizures, bipolar disorder, Crohn’s disease, epilepsy, emotion regulation, restless leg syndrome, broken back/spinal cord injury, diabetes, hypertension, irritable bowel syndrome, multiple sclerosis, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, sciatica and recovery from surgery.
Edit
I personally have five of the health problems listed above.
For folks that can't take antiinflammatories for pain there aren't any options out there except for natural remedies.
Nobody is saying it doesn't potentially help those things. If you take it solely to treat those ailments, you are consuming it medicinally. If you just benefit from some of its positive side-effects, while using it for enjoyment, that's just recreational use with beneficial side-effects.
It is basally what it was two thousand years ago, what it is now and in all likelihood (hope) what will be two thousand years from now. All we do is relate to it in the short period of time we are alive and aware.
That's not necessarily true. Two thousand years ago, people didn't have the same growing knowledge or techniques available to them, so even if we ignore selective breeding which has undoubtably produced more potent, and often more THC dominant strains, we could still push two thousand year old plants far past their old limits.
Things like added nutrient formulas specially made for Cannabis plants, high powered lights with custom spectrums, climate control, infection/infestation control, and prevention of pollinating* all contribute to the crops potency/chemical ratios.
Giving a clone from the same plant to one person with access to modern Cannabis cultivation knowledge and botanical technology, and one person with only ancient methods of growing, will produce vastly different results.
*It's very possible they culled males to produce sinsemilla buds thousands of years ago, they rarely even did this in the 50's-70's. The odds they were better growers thousands of years ago, are slim.
Just like you get a note from your doctor to your boss prescribing you the day off, weed is medicinal..alcohol would never in a million years be endorsed by your doctor unless it was wine/all natural..I don't think there's much to say after that about vs alcohol.
I Am Lactose Intolerant so the doctor suggests 2% milk
Weed doesn't negatively effect my performance at all. I've only ever been at a loss of words in response to "dumb" questions and statements from folk who literally know better, so they're more like blackmailers.
So your definition of medical use, is use prescribed by a doctor? That would invalidate the medical status of the use by everyone who consumes Cannabis without a prescription.
sorry for double post couldnt find the quote button...
this is true... maybe today we know more strains than what even existed before (lets say 1000 years ago) so maybe were going through some sort of second golden age of cannabis... but who knows maybe they did have crossbreeds and things like Kush, Haze 10000 years ago?
It's not that we discovered more strains. We've bred them from different landrace populations. They didn't have the same strains we have now, aside from the untouched land races that can still be found.
