Last week I saw “Byrzynski: cancer cure coverup”. Very interesting movie not only because of the alternative cure cancer he has developed but because of all the extreme methods Big Pharma goes to prevent cures that they cannot profit from. It’ll be interesting to see how the big pharmaceutical companies wrap their greedy paws around marihuana products

Thanks for the information.  "Cannabis for Chronic Pain" by Dr. Rav Ivker published in 2017 is an excellent guide to using cannabis for a variety of ailments, not only chronic pain but also shingles, arthritis, migraines, Crohn's, and others.

Thank you for the info on the book. Fascinating and very needed. Here's the link... https://www.amazon.com/Cannabis-Chronic-Pain-Prescription-Marijuana/dp/1501155881/ref=la_B075CGBMSB_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1514691834&sr=1-1

Follow the money. I've said for years that the pharmaceutical companies are more interested in profit than actually helping patients. However, the U.S. Federal Government is responsible as well for limiting the research because of their antiquated views and being swayed by the huge donations of the Pharmaceutical companies. Other governments like Canada will pave the way and follow in the footsteps of the outstanding research that has been taking place in Israel for well over thirty years.

Anecdotal information often starts research. Personally, a 3 ml. syringe of cannabis oil lasts me a year and costs 500 pesos. That's taking 1/2 grain of rice worth of oil before bed every night. All I wanted to do was increase my deep sleep stage. What happened next was accidental... it stopped the daily cataplexy that I had been experiencing for nearly 30 years. Now you can achieve this with pharmaceuticals but it costs 6,000 U.S. dollars a MONTH for Xyrem from Jazz Pharmaceuticals.

ferret,
as long as you're following the money don't forget to include the police unions, prison guard unions and the private prison industry. The war on drugs is the goose that lays the golden eggs.

...or the homeopathic industry, fraud in every bottle. Well, not really, what's in there is just water. But, to paraphrase, "Jesus, people buy it."

Not exactly sure what Homeopathy has to do with this thread. Why don't you start your own thread on it Itollefs. On the other hand, you probably won't be able to prove its failings any more than you can prove that it works... unless of course you've actually tried it and it didn't.
We are all unique. Even pharmaceutical meds do not work for everyone for the problem prescribed.

Been there, done that. As much as I have tried, I have never understood such magical thinking.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around Quantum Physics as well. Some people get it but I think most of us don't. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
