You probably really don't want to know.
Do you find all of those 'therapies' quackery or just some? I've always believed hypnosis was a useful thing, do most studies disagree?
Yet once commercialized, those same previously ridiculed or, even criminalized, therapies becomes accepted. Yes, of course there are approvals, studies, etc. Take quinine. Traditional medication that actually works for malaria. Medical marijuana. Etc.
Medical marijuana is vastly oversold. The evidence for it for pretty much any condition is very weak, other than maybe certain seizure disorders. Certainly smoking it doesn't provide an adequate blood level even for glaucoma.
I have done 2 reviews lately for chronic pain talks and agree with this completely. I am surprised that the physicians who are such strong advocates for efficacy are handing their hats in such weak studies Bias seems clear
Even where it's legal recreationally, "medical" use is a marketing tool to insinuate legitimacy/credibility/respectability.
I have much more of an issue with cigarettes. Remain legal. Highly addictive. That too was once marketed as “medical.” Implying medical approval/benefit is an old tactic used for decades for various types of for-profit products. https://www.buzzfeed.com/copyranter/healthy-cigarette-ads …
I'm not sure I follow. It almost seems like you're saying since cigarette advertising was misleading in the past, that it's no problem that MMJ marketing is misleading now? Better living through lower expectations?
She ceased making much sense several hours ago, hence my (mostly) dropping from the convo.
