It is a fact that due to the restrictions of illegality in many places, there are not large numbers of repeatable studies with large numbers of participants. It's difficult to recruit people for what is still illegal.. For example, in the USA, despite legalization in many States, most research receives Federal funding. Or doesn't receive Federal funding in this case. Reason being, the Federal Government is not yet onboard with legalization. Canada, on the other hand has completely legalized and researchers are eligible to receive government funding. Canada therefore will be a major source of studies and the recipient of many patents arising from this research. First mover advantage. As for your assertions about pain relief, you are very much behind the curve. Cannabis already has a role in pain management. Proven efficacy. It actually works by reducing patients' distress, not because of any opiate-like effects, which have there own well-documented problems. Pain relief is a major factor in modern medicine. Everything you say is almost te direct opposite of the reality - research in th US is hampered by the illegality- you need to read up on pain research and placebos etc. " Pain relief is a major factor in modern medicine." - this is quite a bizarre moment - nothing to do with anything I said - it is however very subjective snd difficult to measure - that's why it attracts quackery, the gullible and the desperate. In short, you are a perfect example of my argument - Edited March 9, 2022 by Thunglom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a load of but buts.. Of course pain is subjective since only one party is experiencing it. That hasn't stopped modern medicine from quantifying it and treating it. Pain is a major reason for patients' distress in many diseases.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would mean that you would be able to harvest around 3 months after planting. Having done a few closet grows I learned that the most hazardous time is the flowering period, very difficult to hide the smell of the flowers in bloom. I knew my neighbors could smell it, and I hoped that they would not know what it was, or that they could not tell which house it was coming from. However if you walked into my house there would be no doubt -- and this is with only 3 or 4 plants, even put in an exhaust duct & fan. There are stories coming out of rural Oregon about the smell coming out of the legal grow sites, people claiming it's making them, or their kids, or their livestock, sick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stopped being a discussion when you denied that cannabis does have medicinal purposes and you began to refuse to even consider contrary evidence. Your mind is made up, you don't want to believe it and that's that! By the way, neither your subliminal insults nor your twisting and turning of my replies does change the fact that cannabis does have medicinal purposes, as has been proven by studies, regardless of your opinion and that's all there is to it!

No one is going to suffer mental illness from a leaf or two placed atop a restaurant meal or a drop or bottle of CBD oil. I miss the old days in Thailand when the marijuana was so strong that the first few joints would leave me hanging over the edge of a toilet bowl. I am hardly going to excitedly book a flight to Thailand to sample the country's new 'secret weapon'. Thailand has lost the plot in terms of attracting foreign visitors. Thai stick made you vomit? Is that what you mean? We smoked that back in 1972-1973 when I was stationed outside of Udon Thani and no one that I know was sick from smoking it. People walked into a wall, fell down stairs, stared at the beautiful star, stood still for a couple of minutes before continuing to walk, and all manner of other silly stuff. But not got sick. if that is what you mean. Unless you drank too much alcoholic beverages along with smoking it. Then I understand. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did. That is why I am not a drunk. My chosen social circle included very good people, who worked very hard at their jobs, had compassion for the Thai people, contributed money to orphanages, and senior citizen support groups, some still do, both inside and from outside of Thailand. Some volunteered their own time to help the Thai people. Some still do. Whereas, the drunkards social groups, did what the drunkards social groups did, they got drunk and did what out of control drunks do. Irrelevant to 50 years to you, but not to thousands of us that made a difference in peoples lives. What have you done? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they decided that kids were getting into it mainly from parents or other adults, so the Education Department decided that they needed to be taught the rights and wrongs about it. (extra?) Guess who got the job? That male teacher! And what did the kids get out of it? How to chop up and to pack a bong, and tell the difference between a male and female plant.

Metapod Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Honestly he's right, but ONLY if it's actually legalized. They could create a massive island campaign with Thai rhasta music and that one song from Bob Marley about Thailand. It would be an enormous hit.
