Edonis 28,974 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I'll wait until I see any elucidated pathway mechanisms The simple fact of the matter is that ever since they found implications for marijuana and pain relief in cancer patients, there's been a big surge in research associated with cannabinoids but...there hasn't really been anything meritable to talk about. The pathway mechanisms (how everything works on a molecular level, which is one of the first things that needs to be understood prior to any pharmaceutical legalization) are just not that well characterized despite the fact that cannabis signaling is very well understood. Basically it's not actually known whether the cannabis is directly working on relieving symptoms or if it's in combination with some other drug. It could even be a placebo affect since most studies require patients to smoke the substance. But regardless, this opens the door to a lot of different opportunities for researchers and health care providers to consider! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I remember several comments from you about going out every weekend with friends and getting drunk. You were worried about the money you were spending, not your health. We did go out every weekend drinking... But some 4 to 6 months ago implemented that rule with myself for money AND because ive become very health constious Good memory btw. I didnt remember about that thread till u mentioned it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its very complicated and has to be studied as u pointed out If Marijuana is to be used for medicinal reasons then its only reasonable it go thru the same process all other drugs have to go thru before being approved Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muscletank 410 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Well like everything, moderation is key. That doesn't take away from the rapid and obvious benefit that this mad received by taking it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
