2. Glad to see some legitimate research finally being done on cannabis

Anecdotal and non-case controlled studies aren’t worth shit. I don’t care how much you think you know about cannabis, until there is legitimate research done, sensible legislation, and approval for wider spread medicinal use will never happen. Not to mention federal approval. Translation: insurance coverage.

For years, NIDA could not fund cannabis research. And leadership was opposed to legalization. The more that you can show the medical community that cannabis does minimal harm, the more they will be willing to prescribe and see it as a viable option. That includes medical school training, which is non-existent now.

This is great news
