>Oooh no no no. You need to read up on that. You can start by learning about a strain called Charlotte's Web and who Charlotte Figi is. It's an example of some that's high cannabidiol (CBD), low tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) cannabis extract. I assure you that if you were in her parent's shoes you'd be singing a different tune.
>If you think cannabis has no other benefits than a substitute painkiller you're way off. it's well known to help our vets with PTSD - (but of course they can't get a recommendation from their VA doctors because it's a federal agency)


Let me clarify - I acknowledge it has other medicinal benefits. It's known primarily for painkilling benefits when other painkillers fail - but yes, it has other medical benefits. I remember the Figi case. Believe me, I used to get in some hot debates with John Harvey about the medicinal value of marijuana.

But again, it needs to be prescribed by a licensed physician. Period. Otherwise (and this is the one area where I agree with John Harvey), it gives many....including teens.....access to it that they shouldn't have. There is nothing recreational about "recreational" use - it is damaging on many levels when used by morons.
