There are plenty of pharmaceutical drugs out in the wild that have known side-effects. Chemotherapy completely nukes a person's body but is legal because the harm it induces is deemed worth the problem it solves (cancer).
Despite this, marijuana which is in easy circulation on the streets in dubious forms of dosage/strength, has such a political air over it that most countries still won't even look into the medical applications of it!
As a scientist, the double standards are incredibly frustrating!
- smsm42 10y agoIn US I think it's even worse - it is known there are medical applications of it but the federal government just pretends they do not exist and still qualifies cannabis as "drug that has no known medical use". They don't refuse to look - they look, see, know it exists and still say "no, it doesn't exist".
