Paul Armentano describes how the mainstream media fails to report the positive affects of medical marijuana:
"For decades, opponents of the medical use of cannabis have demanded that proponents demonstrate the safety and efficacy of cannabis in Food and Drug Administration-approved clinical trials. Clinical investigators have now done so, repeatedly. Yet, the mainstream media continues to respond to the publication of these findings with a collective yawn.
As long as they continue to do so, there is little chance that federal officials will seriously consider amending cannabis' present Schedule I status under federal law - a classification that continues to define marijuana as a substance equally dangerous as heroin and possessing no accepted medical utility. It is a classification that was most recently challenged by investigators writing in The Open Neurology Journal, a peer-reviewed, open access publication.
"The classification of marijuana as a Schedule I drug as well as the continuing controversy as to whether or not cannabis is of medical value are obstacles to medical progress in this area," authors wrote in an essay entitled, "Medical Marijuana: Clearing Away the Smoke." "Based on evidence currently available, the Schedule I classification is not tenable; it is not accurate that cannabis has no medical value, or that information on safety is lacking. It is true cannabis has some abuse potential, but its profile more closely resembles drugs in Schedule III (where codeine and dronabinol are listed)."
Hey folks, No surpise! Mainstream media is controlled by the 1% which includes the liquor lobby and Big Pharma. They aren't about to lose money on making people feel better.
Only today, the BBC are
Only today, the BBC are reporting the Health Risks of cannabis, in a particularly one-side story in which the any possible health benefits are ignored.
Next we'll be reading about the health risks of self-abuse, or did that go out with the Victorians?
Don't smoke it
And appreciate it's an effective medication not a toy so the concept of dosage needs to be present. To evoke a current popular meme. If your smoking canabis willy nilly as a recreational drug your gonna have a bad time.
