      Yeah, except that the claims for cannabis made by medical marijuana advocates are massively overblown. I say this just based on existing research.

          True. But MDMA and psylocybin have shown promise in psychotherapy, and tbh I think there is merit in funding marijuana research because even research that falsifies the more outlandish claims made and helps skeptics say "look, we've tested it, now STFU"

          The problem, of course, is that no amount of negative results will get advocates to STFU. We've learned this from antivaxers and cancer quacks. They're still selling laetrile, fer cryin' out loud!

          This being the case, let's study them and price they're overblown just like we do in other pharmaceutical trials?

          When it comes to cancer, we already know rush the anticancer activity of cannibinoids is, at the very best, modest.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/medical-marijuana-as-the-new-herbalism-part-2-cannabis-does-not-cure-cancer/ …

          Then give the science what it needs to put that to rest.

          Legalization (especially in Canada, where it's nationwide) should open the doors to a larger number of high-quality studies. Prediction: Medical use will be expanded and better targeted, but anyone expecting miracles will be disappointed.

          Psilocybin is active for migraine but really bad side effects. Not much else
