Easy. Don't use it if with child. Medical cannabis I believe would help others.

No, because Thalidomide is a chiral molecule, one type is safe the other isn’t. Whereas cannabis is entirely safe. Non toxic, highly useful for patients with epilepsy etc. So I’ll assume the scientists you mention here are GCSE level.

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

The devil weed! 😂

Such reaching

Give me a break! 🙄

Poppycock! Only because big pharma is not making money off of it they pay doctors to spew this dribbling nonsense. Not thalimide, which by the way they had no problem dishing out!

this is irresponsible at best.

It’s another way to get addicted

you cant just expect to get medical cannabis and think its going to heal you , there is lots of factors involved you must change your diets completely no drinking or smoking and try exercise or its pointless

Bullshit story of the day...

The thalidomide disaster is one of the darkest episodes in pharmaceutical research history. The drug was marketed as a mild sleeping pill safe even for pregnant women. However, it caused thousands of babies worldwide to be born with malformed limbs. The damage was revealed in1962

Reefer madness.
