I think you're missing the point. If millions say CBD reduces their pain, then CBD reduces pain. I think the proper scientific attitude should be "we don't understand how CBD reduces pain. We can't find a physical basis

It's too bad they put Claude in a straight jacket and won't let it answer any question that has a hint of controversy. Worse, it moralizes and implies that you shouldn't be asking those questions. That's my impression fr
