Gee, you are qualified to run the CDC.

Nah, that requires being a psychopath, wanna-be mass-murderer, etc.

Since you decided to join the discussion, how about addressing the actual topic?  What are your thoughts about FE, geo-centrism, etc?

I think the problem with this discussion is that pot, like cows milk, is totally different than it was 50+ years ago.  Is milk healthy?  Not anymore.  Not after it was pasteurized and its cows were pumped full of estrogen and given corn, instead of grazing on pasture.

Is pot healthy?  I think a lot of it has synthetic additives and most modern strains have "ramped up" the drug effect, with much danger.  I've heard many baby boomer hippies say "this isn't the weed we grew up on in the 70s".  So did it USED to be healthy/mild?  probably, in moderation.  But now?  You'd have to know what you're smoking.  Most of it is laced with God-knows-what.  People who smoke weed and have hallucinations...that's just not normal nor explainable.

How much are the side effects studied? …

What part of "more studied than ANY compound on your pharmacies' shelves" don't you understand?

Look, I don't think this is an important issue any longer because most needy patients now have access to a good medicine. Hence, I have no reason to do a deep dive to get current on the literature and I have ZERO 零 cero нуль ศูนย์ nihil interest in changing YOUR [confused] mind.

I made two simple observations: 1. MJ has many medical benefits and the few risks are manageable and 2. its recreational use is permissible within the limits of the well-defined moral theology on undue risk of self-harm.

You (plural) are welcome to rage as you (singular) are wont to do. Cast anathemas at sedes and MJ patients to your heart's (mal)content. I have ZERO 零 cero нуль ศูนย์ nihil interest in spoon-feeding you what took a year-long deep dive to improve my own understanding of the issues.

Don't you have a talk show to do now, (((Joy)))?

Studied in terms of the benefits, not the side effects, from what I can tell. You would be able to provide a good analysis of the side effects, if you actually studied it. But I don't think you did.

So, share your public statements, profession, etc, so we may ascertain whether or not your livelihood is (notably) dependent upon government grants, etc.

I do not receive ANY government grants. It's really a stupid question. .gov/.zog is still heavily invested in justifying MJ's criminal and Class 1 drug status. Do you seriously think they'd fund me and my conclusions?

Neither you nor (((Behar))) are in any position to make demands of me.
