Yes Health costs.
Oh please don't bore me with all the cures.... one tard in here said cannabis oil should be rubbed on kids with leukemia instead of seeing a cancer team at a hospital.
So please... smoke up... but don't post that foolishness here. All that nonsense is just so stoners can get high because they are addicted to it.
All anecdotal. Double blind research is finally underway. Wait a bit, makes ya sound tinfoilerish.
Well here is some more anecdotal evidence for ya.
Couple of years back I had a bad wreck in a loaded fuel truck. My back is permanently screwed up from L-1 to L-5. Was taking opiates for pain for 16 months which sucked. Had to keep increasing the dose for less relief and all the other good stuff you get with long term opiate use. It got suggested by a clinical pharmacist and a Dr to try cannabis seed oil which I did. It was amazing. Within a few weeks I was off the opiates with little withdrawal issues and had much better relief of pain and better mobility. The seed oil contains all the good enzymes without the THC content and it is not a controlled substance. I do also have a prescription for marijuana which helps immensely but do not often use it because I drive for a living so cannot be under the influence.
I know quite a few others that are using the seed oil for various ailments like RA and cancer with exceptional results. It's main effect is dilating the blood vessels and allowing the blood cells to bind with more O2 thereby increasing the supply to the affected areas. It is in essence a barometric chamber in capsule form.
Whatever you may think personally there is far too much evidence (even if it is anecdotal) that marijuana in it's various forms is quite helpful for a wide range of issues. The biggest hurdle is that big pharma corps do not want a remedy that they can't control and make money from.
