No, the post was full of "it is easy to find and public record". You are just trying to use the tired internet tactic of "show me every little piece of cut and paste info you can find (whichI[sic] will probably deny also) or I will invalidate your whole argument with a shrug, a glib statement and a true lack of interest in learning the truth." This tactic is so old and so sad. It is just a way for people to say "unless you can beat me over the head with information I am too intellectually lazy to look it up and unwilling to let go of my own ignorance unless forced to do so." It so much easier to deny, deny, deny than it is to defend your own side ofthe[sic] argument.
Hardly, but the same can be said for your tired old tactic of "you're just too lazy to find what I believe must be out there, it just HAS to be." I'm really not interested in attempting to find information that you have already found. So, I ask for the location. I don't need cut and paste, just the web site, and the important info's location. There's nothing glib about that, unless, of course, you don't have it.
Could you also see where I've taken a side in this argument? I have simply pointed out errors in the logic used, on both sides. While I believe that MM must be studied further, and that the various locales that it is grown in yield different results. Some aren't as good at relieving pain as others. As has been repeatedly brought up by both camps, medications affect people differently. You wouldn't want to give someone a medication that was less effective, would you? The fact that various strains of Marijuana are different is the same thing, like it or not. Not only that, but prople with terminal illnesses would be far better served with the use of Heroin as a pain-killer than either marijuana or morphine, as Heroin, in the proper doses, does the analgesic without dimming the mind, as the other two are wont to do.
Because research continues to be blocked. Still, much research has been done here and overseas. The US Government even conducted its own research and to this day still supplies one of its patients with a canister of joints to smoke.
That's merely stating what I said, not replying. The governments research wasn't into analgesic effects, nor interactions with other classes of drugs. There actually hasn't been much in the manner of FDA studies (as a class of study) done outside of this country, especially not recently.
We can rant and rave all day about the supposed advantages of marijuana, but the truth of the matter is inescapable. There has been little research done about the drug, or it's interactions, or anaphylactic properties. There has been practically zero work done on the advantages and disadvantages of a particular strain of marijuana over another. Until these questions can be answered, marijuana lies in the realm of the Superdrug that has been developed, but is hidden away by the "Drug Companies".
