Anything this paper writes on Cannabis is a prolific lie.

Hope you get sued for this bs propaganda

What a load of propaganda crap! Good luck with proving this!

You mean big pharma firms can no longer subvert the medical benefits of cannabis any longer and fear losing billions in future profit.

Yall always posting some anti marijuana propaganda

...bad drug war propaganda. Tory horseshit like this harms the world.

DrAhmedKalebi Well, I think it would be helpful for burn victims to not only curb the large amounts of opioids they become dependent on but also to increase appetite so they can meet the high calorie and protein intake required to prevent muscle catabolism.

Lies

Well, people who take it, are monged out.

DailyMailUK I hope not! Let the buyer beware!

Wow, no fear mongering in this article. And zero scientific proof. How about some legit research that isn't manipulated by govt or pharma?

DailyMailUK been using it in the Netherlands for years!

No. No it couldn’t.

Yea scare monger the cheap cure for many diseases

All they need to do is not prescribe it to pregnant mothers.

Really. Who’s paying those scientists? What an insult to any thalidomide victim.

The bush doctor says it’s good for you, so long you don’t abuse it.

Big pharmaceutical companies who will lose money I'm guessing. Cannabis is long thought to be a partial cure for cancer but drug companies will lose billions if they admit that. Money is more important then lives.

DailyMailUK Any person who compare medical cannabis to Thalidomide is sick in the head and insults Thalidomide victims.

Daily Fail bullshit, as per! They don't even know why they are against cannabis - they just always have been!

As opposed to the widespread use of street cannabis that is already taking place?

Scientists working for Big Pharma, I'll bet.

Truth: *Scientists fear medical cannabis could cost the pharmaceutical Industry billions as people can grow It easily and not have to pay extortionate amounts for medicines that cost peanuts to make. PrintTheTruth

What we need is yeat another molecule to keep us from thinking stragiht. I stick to Chardonay.

Who is the scientist? What is he or she talking about?
