It's an effective pain reliever for some kinds of chronic pain. Less addictive than opioids. Reduces muscle spasms, tics in Tourette syndrome. Reduces nausea. Some people take for anxiety, depression, ADHD. Difficult to overdose on (a key requirement for antidepressants).

Here I am again, now about "medicinal" cannabis: the analysis of 1000+ research papers shows 3 categories: that it is not effective (exp multiple sclerosis) , has little effect (less than the side effects) (exp epilepsy) or there is insufficient data (exp Tourette and nausea)

Yes. Always. The funny thing is that Bayer for example sells medication containing cannabinoids. The business of medical MJ is huge and the Shills are more likely to be the ones defending its use.

Think you’re info might be outdated - https://www.nap.edu/catalog/24625/the-health-effects-of-cannabis-and-cannabinoids-the-current-state … - also thousands of patients getting off opiates with cannabis today. Research suppressed. Much more needed looking at potential benefits, only harms have been studied throughly. Also CBD very promising!

I have had zero success with CBD and my practice is chronic pain so I can match you anecdote for anecdote. I’m not saying it is ineffective, I’m saying stop with the anecdotes and show me good data.

Trying to get good data. Hard when you can’t patent a plant and have no incentive to fund studies - we all support EBM, but in reality often don’t practice it well collectively.https://www.macleans.ca/society/health/off-label-is-off-the-charts/ …
