for medical purpose then yes. There are too many compounds within the plant to quantify it. Its the same reason you use asprin instead of smoking/humidifying/making elixirs out of willowbark. More refined more potent safer and easier to manage. Its the same reason you dont eat the soil molds thats antibiotics come from instead you take a refine beta-lactam or rifamycin or whatever. Again this is just an excuse and a poor one, if you want to get high then say so dont use medicine as a cheap excuse.

Compare that to the fatalities of cannabis in the last 200 years (you will find it to be a total of zero).
This is the same reason we all drink vitamin pills and live off a carbohydrate based gruel instead of having a healthy daily intake of fruit, veggies, protein and all the rest. The same reason nobody experiments with biofules and all use the refined gasolines made by the pro's. The same reason pot stills and reflux still are only ever found in breweries. Anyway, sarcasm aside, even though bigfarm would like to be the only way humanity can medicate itself it is not. Thankfully there are still cloves in the world for toothache, Rosemary and mint with a dash of honey for headaches and many more very successful and safer means of getting rid of the little niggles in life.
Tell you one thing though, if I get cancer I will not be using chemo:

But for many other aspects of illness I would go to a hospital or gp.
Look into nicotine vs tobacco. Nicotine is actually good for you (neuroprotective) however using a tobacco product is not.
I really hope you are not a chemist or perhaps you should give full details when you try and use a deadly poison (pure nicotine is a killer) as an example.
Medicine is a science it has to be precise. I wonder if you would do this if you required brain surgery ? tell the surgeon not to do an MRI and take you straight to theatre and operate to save costs .... you might read this and go well thats completely different but in reality it isnt.
If I required brain surgery I would go through the whole process after a 2n'd opinion and researching the nature of the disease/anomoly requiring me to have my head cut open.
It's obviously not black and white but in the name of profit and fear mongering alternatives are taboo.
yes this is true. One person is employed other is broken. Though its not the poor person benefiting is it ? the farmers in columbia are still dirt poor.
Of course they are. they get it from both sides. On the one side they have the US poisoning crops, on the other they have to deal with hardened criminals. Just for interest sake, each time the Americans try and kill the crops in one area the growing spreads to several more. In an attempt to detroy something they are spreading it.
Children. Since anti-tobacco laws and awareness campaigns there are lower new smokers. Though one could argue this all day the argument is very valid from both sides.
Very valid from both sides indeed. The taboo and the current system does not give anybody the knowledge they need so they go out and do it anyway. The places where regulation has been used and is being used are having a decline in addicts.
Yup but if its difficult to obtain or there are penalties to obtaining it then that will stop some becoming users.
In theory, in practice all you have is forbidden fruit (even more enticing due to it's status).
You wont stop them nor will you slow them down. They will just move to more dangerous more potent substances again europe is a good example of this. Cannibis itself isnt a problem but the heavier ones are.
The parts of europt that are following the American dream yes, the parts of europe that are regulating and reforming laws have in fact got a decline in heavier drug addicts and users.
anecdotal. The literature suggests otherwise. Again LSD is different, pharmacologically harmless psychologically dangerous though it applies to a small percentage of users. I wonder why people have a higher risk ending up a nutcase using this "safe" lsd yet they advocate it. Autism in vaccines and suddendly people dont vaccinate their kids ..... strange
What literature or are we taling about your expensive imaginary books again?
Yup lost job lost income. I commend you in becoming clean it takes tremendous willpower. However you left your job and most users are unable to do what you do. They often polydrug users and are addicted to more than one substance. Thats the point of banning these substance to prevent people from becoming users if you already a user then your situation is different.
Resigned my job as I wanted a life change. Many people do this every day, the drug use is the ancedotal part in this.
anecdotal again.
Yet millions will tell you exactly the same.
Personally I agree, if you want to get high then get high cannabis is as dangerous as smoking tobacco. The problem is when you allow people to abuse cocaine and heroin.
How many people have died from tobacco in the last hour?
Howmany from cannabis in the last 100 years?
As per your link, thats a tourist link obviously they not going to state the facts they advertising their country. South Africa has tourist sites too and it wont say "come here you might get hijacked" ... anyways when my database is back online I will look for the evidence.
You have google, you will find the same information across the web
