Cannabis vs. alcohol equivalent?

[canadaman30]

It has not been proven that Cannabis treats symptoms , it can only alleviate some of the pain associated with some illness's, maybe because you can get a high from it and start thinking about other things other that the pain you have.
It does in a lot of cases , ease the pain for some cancer sufferers, but it has not treated their cancer.

Speaking with 2 doctors that have prescribed it for their patients, they have only their patients word that the cannabis is helping them , they have not seen any physical proof that the cannabis has treated their patients illness.

There is no pharmaceutical drug that "cures" anxiety, yet doctors give patients all kinds of pill form drugs to try an help. Cannabis in some counties is becoming the most effective medication to deal with it, among many other ailments. Seems you know little about cannabis, there are many many strains that harbor CBD and have 0 percent THC, so getting "high" as you claim is not even possible.

The USA was treating PTSD with extecy or mdma as a new trail study . They have been legal with the weed for awhile now I guess the pot ain't working for the ptsd when they are now using the mdma . Guess it's still better then the fentinal crap .

Someone stated in an earlier post that if it was prescribed medical prescription it can't be bad . Then why is the fentinal prescribed to patients. We all know of someone or knows some one that has died from fentinal.

Smoke some weed stay away from the opioid crisis that the doctors are prescribing.

Smoking is cannabis is bad for you. There are safer ways to ingest cannabis. It can be cooked and infused in oils, butters and fat based products. There are also oils that are produced for consumption.

According to the Medical Profession, PTSD is best treated with counseling, I have a couple of acquaintances that have gone through it , and at no time were they ever prescribed cannabis to treat them,

Ok, well I have a few family members who have gone to counseling and it did nothing, but you stick with your first hand accounts and I will stick with mine.

Weed is less dangerous than many things that are 100% legal and used all the time. Weed does not cause liver failure like Tylenol does, but yet we put Tylenol in everything. Weed does not destroy your lungs and cause cancer like Tobacco does but yet we have legal cigarettes. Weed is far less harmful than alcohol but nobody is going to give up their beer.

The world in moderation, that is what is needed.

As for the smoking it being bad, yes, it can be, but edibles do different things and affect people differently than smoking it, in some instances smoking is better, for some eating it is better, at lunch while hunting I would not let anyone do either and still hunt with me. At night it would be no different than drinking, you do too much and you sleep in the next day, a hungover hunter is almost as bad as a drunk or stoned one.

I understand that . My friend had cancer they removed it they gave him 5 years with a 50 50 chance it would come back. He used the edible dab oil and the butter . So far it's good he is in good health and the cancer is still gone still a 6 month check up by the doctors tho.

Fox we can't stero-type cannabis use with just getting "high". CBD cannabis is used to treat a lot of patients, and there is zero "high" to get from it. May be hard to believe that children with epilepsy are using CBD oils with better results than any pharmaceuticals. Some people use medicinal cannabis just to get through every day, just like others use blood pressure, cholesterol etc medication

I agree 100%, treatment but also recreation, neither in moderation is fine, and a lot safer than many of the treatments used normally. I would rather weed than opioids if possible but I would rather someone smoke a joint than drink in many cases, never knew a person who got violent when smoking a joint.

Some people will never believe it is not a 'hippy' conspiracy. Mind control by the 'man'.

What you said is true, but how many will be smoking cannabis with high levels of THC so they can get a High , and claim they are smoking it for medical reasons , and in a lot of cases will be growing their own high level THC cannabis for this same reason.
