You presumptuous (((Behar))).

I don't care if you read "my" links or not.  You are not my professor, editor, judge, superior, or confessor. You are welcome to remain as haughty in your ignorance as you choose.

I have read all of them in their entirety.  A few are from the MJ advocacy organization NORML, but most are peer-reviewed and highly vetted (though that is no assurance of perfection). The studies are all the more remarkable because institutional medicine has, until recently, fiercely resisted MJ.

I have not done a deep dive on the MJ science since 2011. I have had no need. These days there are fewer ignoranuses on the matter.

Truly, I do not care to change your mind.  I am content to demonstrate to any fence-sitters that, like the damned rabbis, you will accept no amount of evidence inconvenient to your opinion.

Incidentally, did I mention that I am a… [gasp]… sedevacantist? :jester:

What's a "Behar?"

I will read some of them. Why did you have to post so many? I will consider the evidence.

Some of us have had personal experience with potheads. I recall seeing a bumper sticker when I was a teen in the '70's. It said...."Are you stoned, or just stupid?"

I don't think that pot is as benign and wonderful as you make it out to be. It still takes one away from reality. So does alcohol. If someone needs that, then fine. But they shouldn't pretend that it's just for "medical" reasons.

Great—Reefer Madness bumper stickers and a pothead brother. Gee, you are qualified to run the CDC.

My biblio is representative of the state of the literature in 2011. We have another decade of research that is confirmatory (though I have not done, nor will I do, a deep dive).

In my media appearances, articles, and public debates, one of my summations points was:

"The enemies of marijuana insist we need more research. OK, fine. More research is good, but understand this: Marijuana is already more studied than ANY compound on your pharmacies' shelves, including Tylenol and aspirin, and those studies show that marijuana is safer than ANY drug on the pharmacy shelf."

I stood by that publicly then and I stand by it now.

How much are the side effects studied? Do you believe that side effects are negligible? A preliminary peruse of your links shows that side effects were not a great concern.

I found a link (not listed by you) which shows the side effects of pot on mental health:

This is rather similar to my stance regarding your own pig-headed ignorance about non-existent Cooties-19, the links I provided, etc.  By the way, did you ever muster the decency, honesty and courage to disclose your profession?  Stanley had no issue doing so; neither should you.

As an aside, if you can point to "dozens" or "hundreds" of studies, you can -- A FORTIORI -- point to ONE.  Your arrogant glee rendered you momentarily stupid.  No biggie.  Glad she asked?  Happier you answered so mindlessly! :jester:

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