Yeah, and the other "primary medicine" was alcohol. Forgive me for not wanting to return to the good old days of tooth-pulling, amputation without anaesthesia, and medicine-show tonics.

I agree with all of that. Basically ALL medicines are plant based (or animal based). My point is that the fact that cannabis oil was used medicinally in the 19th and early 20th centuries is, by itself, meaningless. Leeches and bleeding were used in the 19th century to "rectify the bodily humours." The fact that a practice is old doesn't make it correct.There are alot of medicines being used that are plant based...opiates being the biggest. Plant based medicine has worked for thousands of years and is STILL being used by big pharma. It was Europeans and their god complex that made it the domain of witches, pagans, and devil worshippers.
The history of cannabis is an interesting one. It involves DuPont's demonizing hemp and the gov't demonizing blacks and jazz music.

It's no medical cure all and Drs can't Rx it over another drug that works. All they can do is validate a patient's condition to meet Fed guidelines and have you sign a waiver stating it was 100% your choice and your responsibility for any negative effects.Cannabis and cannabis oil has legitimate medical uses and is used by real medical doctors.
no, it's a wonderful smell. It's fresh and green smelling.
And it was also the # 1 medicine in biblical times. Cannabis is God's gift to humanity.![]()
PS yourself and Tbones overlooked all the medicines from petrochemicals.
