American Medical Association Reconsiders Marijuana

I say that's the preferred way because the cannabinoids remain in their natural state, and as they're chemical sisters of endogenous molecules the closer they are to their natural configuration the better. Though I can't point to any specifics about this, I can only assume that the extraction method would be a large factor in these types of things. *shrug* You don't want to denature them at all if you can help it.

I see.

In light of what you've just told me then this seems an oddly precise description of dosage and duration of treatment:

Ingesting the extracted oils at about 1ml / day for ~2 months is the preferred medicinal treatment.

How exactly did you come up with these figures?

I got that value from Rick Simpson, and I only mention his advise of the amount needed because of the personal experience he has working with it. Really, because of the safety margin of cannabinoids, the dose can be anything that the user can... well, handle ;)

Ok, thanks, that looks informative, I'll read it in full later.

It should be legal for recreational use, which would denote that it's legal for medicinal use as well. I think the outcomes of prohibition speak louder than any other reason as to why we should legalize and regulate it.

Well I'm glad to see that. I think it should be legal, not because I use marijuana (I don't, though I have tried it), but because the cost and damage done to society is blatantly larger than the non-existent damage caused by users buying from legal sources instead of illegal ones. And there is of course the billions of economic revenue, thousands of industrial uses, scientific and medical uses...........

Actually I don't even feel like listing off a bunch of my favorite arguments on why prohibition is utterly idiotic, I think I'm starting to get to a point where I need to just copy+paste my opinion on it. The subject has started to feel a bit jaded for me, something I would gladly have discussed not long ago, now in my mind is like "Oh for...come on humanity just get on with it". I feel like people still in favour of cannabis prohibition need to be publicly recognized as what they are, stubborn morons.

It's interesting to note, that most if not all medical establishments at the time of Cannabis prohibition were dead set *against* the law because of the plethora of uses cannabis has.
For these uses as per the scientific literature, please google: "Granny Storm Crow's List" [First link] and check out this site.

It can be safety said, that cannabis is more of a nutrient then a drug; It's effects are stimulating to the body, not toxic, and with zero deaths caused by cannabis alone it's irrational to have any law against it's use. Please keep this in mind at all times, thank you :)

it's also interesting to note that most if not all medical experts view colloidal silver as toxic with little to no benefit when ingested...
