Harry Wilson's tackle You also have to seperate clinical trials, which are for medicines, and medical research, they are not the same. Medical research, like those papers I posted above, should, in theory, lead to clinical trials of a medicine. You are effectively saying Cannabis can only be...

What is that about? I just went through all of the papers I cited. All of them dealing with direct medical research conducted by the authors themselves (4/9) involve human subjects. Others are medical journal articles and analysis of literature and other research, and none of the papers deal...

Opioids do not fall into the category of "useful and schedule I", schedule I means not useful. Morphine, opium, codeine, and hydrocodone are all schedule II narcotics. You can ask your mate if you want, your question seems reasonable, but bare in mind that there is something of a lack of the...

A Schedule I drug is defined as having - a high potential for abuse and no currently accepted medical use - correct. But you cannot just say it's on schedule I and that is itself evidence that it has no accepted medical use. It has acceped medical use. Like I said before, it's on the wrong...

It isn't exactly a non sequitur, because the acceptance of medical Cannabis is based on the two important things when it comes to any medicine, safety and efficacy. Well it's safety is of interest in the legalization debate, because it is prohibited because of how dangerous it is supposed to be...

What you cut and pasted doesn't show that there is no evidence for medical benefit in humans at all. It just shows that Cannabis is on a legal schedule meant for substances with no accepted medical benefit. It's on the wrong schedule because there is so much evidence for medical benefit in...

He's had his medication returned, thankfully. Surely that must put an end to the government's position that Cannabis must remain a schedule I substance, since that requires that it has no medicinal value, and they have just publicly accepted that it does.

"Whole plant extract" means nothing removed, not nothing added. If you are suggesting that it really means "wholly plant extract", that's a wild stretch. Pharmacutical companies have tried (and succeeded) in developing medicines by isolating or synthesizing compounds like CBD and THC so they...

There is a good series of documentaries by Sanjay Gupta MD for CNN about this subject. They deal with the potential for Cannabis use in treating catastrophic childhood epilepsy, PTSD, also brain diseases such as CTE, dementia and alzheimer's. Episodes 1 - 3 (includes a lot on the subject of...

Wrong, it's whole plant extract. The fact that it uniquely is not a single molecule medicine is why it can't be regulated under the existing medicines regulatory apartus which is designed to deal with single molecule medicines, and that is also why everywhere in the world where Cannabis has been...

There is a paradox in there. The fact that it is a schedule I substance means that it is very very difficult to do research on. The reason that most of the research suggesting possible medical benefits of cannabis is limited to lab research and animal models is because clinical trials are almost...
