      Ugh. This episode of @BullCBS is the most irresponsible episode of TV I've seen in a long time. In it, #Bull defends a mother selling medical cannabis oil (CBD oil) who is using it for her child's leukemia. 1/

      First, contrary to this episode of @BullCBS asserts, medical marijuana is basically the new medical herbalism, with little or no evidence, particularly for cancer. 2/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/medical-marijuana-as-the-new-herbalism-part-1-the-politics-of-weed-versus-science/ …

      Contrary to this episode of @BullCBS and what #Bull seems to think, cannabis does not cure cancer. 3/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/medical-marijuana-as-the-new-herbalism-part-2-cannabis-does-not-cure-cancer/ …

      Sure, you can find occasional testimonials that suggest that CBD oil might have an effect on cancer, but if you dissect those testimonials they almost always show no such thing. 4/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/medical-marijuana-as-the-new-herbalism-part-3-a-cannabis-cures-cancer-testimonial/ …

      Particularly nauseating is the scene in @BullCBS where the doctor who examined the defendant's son after he was removed from her care proclaimed the CBD oil effective and that he couldn't have devised a better treatment plan. 5/

          I know, I know. @DrPhil is one of the creators of @BullCBS, which means that a lot of the trial "science" in the show is pseudoscientific bullshit. I found it fairly entertaining; so I could suspend my disbelief to some extent. 6/

          No more. Credulously promoting quackery like CBD oil for leukemia in a child, as this episode of @BullCBS is doing, was a quackery too far for me to have tolerated. 7/

          I know, I know (again), a lot of you probably can't believe that I actually like @BullCBS. A lot of it is because of the likable characters and the entertaining storylines, even if the "trial science" portrayed is not "science." 8/

          Oh, well. Lesson learned. I'm watching the doctor who proclaimed the care including CBD oil to be exemplary testify. At this point @BullCBS is making me want to vomit. 9/
