As a fellow scientist, I find it abhorrent that a scientist would draw conclusions based on lack of data. When your big catch phrase is, "there are no studies that support," that's not science, that's knowing lay people will interpret that to mean more than it does. It's manipulative; she knows very well WHY those studies are limited

      My brother scored the highest for the US Virgin Islands on the SAT in 1990, 1520. He went on to attend the top technical college in America, Harvey Mudd (I believe currently the most expensive higher education in the US). He has a couple patents with his name on it, from when he helped build the West Coast's internet infrastructure in the mid to late 1990s. He got a masters from UNC-Chapel Hill. He knew enough to invest in cryptocurrencies and is considering retiring some time soon, at age 52. He smoked pot in high school and college, and still does - we are both on medical MJ down here in FL and smoke together.

      You would and have never smoked some marijuana for the same headache.
      She wasn't 'telling you to take ibuprophen and other stuff' or that part where she denied it could have ANY side-effects. Nor is it 'horribly bad for you'.
      If you're going to call that 'horribly bad' then you don't have a lot of room for arsenic or alcohol or 1000 other things that are bad for you.

    Medical cannabis is used to treat a variety of conditions and symptoms, offering several potential benefits based on its active compounds, primarily THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol). Below are some of its primary benefits:
    1. Pain Relief
    Chronic Pain: Often prescribed for conditions like arthritis, fibromyalgia, and neuropathic pain.
    Cancer-related Pain: Used to alleviate pain caused by cancer or its treatments.
    2. Reducing Inflammation
    Autoimmune Disorders: Beneficial for inflammatory conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and multiple sclerosis (MS).
    Localized Pain and Swelling: Anti-inflammatory properties can ease symptoms of localized injuries or joint pain.
    3. Neurological and Mental Health Disorders
    Epilepsy: CBD is FDA-approved for treating seizures associated with conditions like Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.
    Anxiety and Depression: CBD shows potential for reducing anxiety, stress, and improving mood.
    Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): THC and CBD may help reduce nightmares and anxiety.
    Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease: May alleviate tremors, stiffness, and agitation.
    4. Appetite Stimulation
    Cancer and HIV/AIDS: Often used to combat appetite loss and cachexia (wasting syndrome).
    Eating Disorders: THC can help stimulate appetite in individuals with conditions like anorexia.
    5. Nausea and Vomiting Relief
    Chemotherapy-induced Nausea: THC is effective in reducing nausea and vomiting associated with cancer treatments.
    Gastrointestinal Disorders: May help manage symptoms of IBS or gastroparesis.
    6. Sleep Aid
    Insomnia: THC can help induce sleep and reduce sleep disturbances.
    Sleep Apnea and Restless Leg Syndrome: Some evidence supports its use for improving sleep quality.
    7. Muscle Spasticity
    Multiple Sclerosis (MS): Shown to reduce muscle spasms and stiffness.
    Spinal Cord Injuries: Provides relief from muscle rigidity.
    8. Glaucoma
    Reduces intraocular pressure, which can benefit glaucoma patients, though newer treatments are generally preferred.
    9. Skin Disorders
    Psoriasis and Eczema: Anti-inflammatory and anti-itch properties of topical cannabis preparations can help manage these conditions.
    10. Harm Reduction
    Opioid Substitution: May reduce reliance on opioids for chronic pain management.
    Alcohol and Drug Addiction: Early evidence suggests it can aid in reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings.

    This lady is making Bold claims on misleading stats. Correlation does not imply causation. It is not surprising whatsoever that reported statistics of weed has drastically increased since weed was legalized because people feel they can actually report their use without criminal repercussions. Alcohol use and abuse and hospitalizations still far exceeds weed use and abuse. Weed use has definitely increased because of it's legalization and more people using weed instead of alcohol. Opioids also cause far more hospital problems and damage than weed. Abuse of even over-the-counter medicine like Naproxen and ibuprofen can cause serious or permanent damage with long term use. People with mental health issues are also far more likely to abuse drugs and/or alcohol, particularly those with schizophrenia or pre-existing dispositions for it. This lady's arguments completely ignores the core issues being, proper education of the effects of marijuana and general drug use, education of the dangers that drugs and alcohol of all kinds can posses, the importance of teaching moderation, and the clear need for proper mental health care and help for addictions of all kinds. Not to mention the responsibility of the parent to properly educate their kids. Preaching/teaching total abstinence has never and will never work.

    6:27 how many studies have been conducted to show how bad it is versus supporting medicinal benefits? I’ve yet to see a study conducted with the intent of analyzing medical use, but it sounds like they might be out there since she’s quoting results like they are. I’d bet against their legitimacy though, because…
    As she says, mild pain reliever (though I’ve always heard it described as not relieving the pain but more like allowing you to ignore it), both helping sleep and causing sleep disorders depending on use, etc. Of course the dose matters! Opiates prevent pain, but are highly addictive and kill how many people with overdoses?
    It’s really disheartening seeing a singular, polarized take on a topic that affects so many people. It’d be nice to see her along with someone else who can point out the gaps and flaws in her logic.
    8:30 How many chemicals in apples? Milk? It’s just a ridiculous statistic without any context. What’s the point?
    13:28 29% of users have a use disorder…what defines that? Over 5 drinks in a night means you’re binge drinking. It’s a label, and without explaining the context it all just sounds like scare tactics.

    Yes when you go to a dispensary depending on the state you are in require testing of the canna before it is approved for sale. These are independent testing labs that review THC, CBD, pesticides, molds. The document for every sample sold in a dispensary is called a COA ( certificate of analysis) and includes all of these elements. Don’t consume any cannabis products that do not have this certificate associated with it. This is an Ohio example. Yes do not use if under 21 but it depends on the brains development. Same for alcohol. Alcohol is a poison to the body. Cannabis itself if grown organically and raised with minimal pesticides and fungicides (outdoor grown) and dried properly to reduce the chance of mold is not toxic and cannot kill you. Alcohol and many other prescription drugs as well as over the counter can kill you.

    She’s clearly not entirely wrong as she cites validated science but she’s missing a lot of important information in her argument. Cannabis is the right word, not marijuana. She’s also not pointing out a lot of the obvious facts. While she states Cannabis is highly complex with 700+ compounds, she isn’t stated that it’s one of the least studied medicinal plants while claiming most of the science points to how it doesn’t do what millions of people anecdotally claim it does for them. Half truths are just that, half the truth. There isn’t enough science to definitely state that cannabis itself is inherently bad yet her entire argument throughout the interview makes it clear that’s her position. Not only is cannabis itself not well researched, the way it’s grown is also not well researched. It is known to be a plant that absorbs lots of different things when it’s grown in soil and it’s likely that the quality of cannabis including its nutrients, pesticides, soil absorption etc highly impact the plant quality and we don’t know if cannabis is the culprit or if the toxicity of these other substances is the real reason for the majority of what she cites as negative. And frankly you cannot be the utmost authority having never used it. It’s an entire experience that creates a dataset that’s missing from her knowledge base.
