Why speculate? That would be measurable.

  That the study was done at all is the more incredible finding. I work in CO in the medical research field. Frankly, getting funding for ANY type of weed study is near impossible. Absolutely no federal funds can be used, including your laptop and desk, let alone any lab space just to store paper or pipettes. The docs at the new VA are at wit's end with the weed ban. They can barely prescribe anything due to the churn-rate of the VA, and then the vets literally just go across the street and buy lots of cheap weed. Anecdotally, the docs say that the vets that use weed tend to be a lot better off, mentally, than the ones that don't. But we can't study it at all because there is no money. Also, in CO, there has been an increase in severe head injuries that tracks pot usage very well, or so I hear from researchers doing their own thing on the side. Why? No idea whatsoever. But research will never see the light of day until we can get funding for it, as other priorities will always take over, since, you know, they get paid to do that instead.
