    “Medical marijuana” is and has always been mostly a marketing term to lead the way to legalization for recreational use. The evidence base supporting just weed (as opposed to pharmaceutically purified cannibinoids) to treat anything has always been highly underwhelming.https://twitter.com/SBMPediatrics/status/1397144459889029120 …

    Marijuana has an undeserved health halo and increasing availability is leading to more complications. 25% of these involved children. https://www.yahoo.com/news/tens-thousands-americans-calling-poison-211801598.html …

        And I figured that the above Tweet would piss some people off and that I might lose a bunch of followers over it. Such is life. It doesn't make the statement any less accurate. 2/

        It's also amusing how some automatically assume that I think legalization of marijuana for recreational use would be a bad thing. I never said that. That's YOUR assumption. I've supported legalization for a number of years now. 3/

        What I don't support is misrepresenting marijuana as some sort of miracle drug that treats or cures almost everything, and, yes, there is a hell of a lot of magical thinking behind medical marijuana, for instance "medical marijuana" for autism. 4/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2015/08/06/medical-marijuana-for-autism-and-autism-biomed-quackery-one-in-the-same-and-on-the-verge-of-approval-in-michigan/ …

        Here's the way I look at it. This post is 6 years old, but the evidence base isn't much better now than it was when I wrote the post, and the post basically holds up. 6/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2015/06/24/does-medical-marijuana-work-the-answer-is-mostly-no-and-we-dont-know/ …

        So legalize marijuana for recreational use, like alcohol, for instance. Tax and regulate the hell out of it, as we do for alcohol. But don't claim it treats or cures anything without good evidence, and anecdotal evidence is the weakest form. 7/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/medical-marijuana-as-the-new-herbalism-part-1-the-politics-of-weed-versus-science/ …

        Basically, as I wrote 7 years ago, medical marijuana is the new herbalism. 8/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/medical-marijuana-as-the-new-herbalism-part-1-the-politics-of-weed-versus-science/ …

        There is a way to show that medical marijuana can be science-based medicine, but I've yet to see very much of it in the arguments of advocates. 9/9https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/medical-marijuana-as-the-new-herbalism-part-5-turning-herbalism-into-science-based-medicine/ …

        Forgot to add: But I have, however, endured a lot of "pharma shill gambit" attacks for having the temerity to suggest that the emperor has no clothes when it comes to medical marijuana. (Well, mostly. Maybe the emperor is wearing just a thong).
