Scientists create yeasts that can make THC and "could literally change the lives of millions."

Alrighty there. Well yes there are an infinite number of cannabis varietals but we test to find out the specific percentages of THC, CBD, etc. so we generally speaking do know what is in the cannabis we are dispensing to patients. If someone has seizures and needs a high CBD strain, they have thousands to choose from. But it's not some magic number of CBD in cannabis that helps them. Any strain with a high CBD count will work for them. Whether it be AC/DC, pennywise, Charlotte's web, etc. As for synthetic being bad, I have nothing against anything synthetic in general, in fact I never said that. What I said is I was against synthetic cannabis, a position well supported by this link here: http://www.theweedblog.com/why-marinol-is-not-as-good-as-real-marijuana/ . Now what else do I have to defend because you took such personal offense to my comment? You also say I need to give weight to studies that say cannabis has no medical use? Are you actually a fucking retard? For something to be proven to have NO medical use, you would need to definitively prove that it has absolutely NO medical uses for ANYONE. We KNOW that's incorrect. It has many uses for many different people. To tell me it doesn't help those suffering from glaucoma or seizures is just ignorant. It clearly does and there are many studies that show this http://www.unitedpatientsgroup.com/PatientsRoom-glaucoma-Documents and http://www.unitedpatientsgroup.com/PatientsRoom-epilepsy . As for THC and cancer/alzheimers, your not wrong your just kind of a confusing dick who's not making a clear point. I'm saying that pharmaceutical companies are investing too much money in synthetic cannabis, rather than investing money into studies to learn more about cannabis. And your telling me that cannabis doesn't kill cancer cells and even if it did, we wouldn't know unless there was more research. I'm agreeing! My original point agrees with you fuck wad. But if there are studies that link natural cannabis with cancer cell death and alzheimers cell death, is that not cause to investigate further. That's what I'm getting at. But you can't blatantly ignore the results of one study, just because you want to see more. The whole reason there aren't enough studies is because pharmaceutical companies refuse to do the research and universities are pretty damn hesitant as well. Anyways here's the link for an article on the cancer study http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/279571.php . Honestly, you kind of just drew a bunch of conclusions about shit I never said and got yourself in a little bitch fit over it. Pussy. And when I said fuck these articles, I mean fuck articles that portray cannabis as a drug with little to no medical use that is unsafe for consumption. And I also note success stories because since there is very little research being conducted all we have to go off of are brave parents and children who administer cannabis to their kids because they have no other options. So, just fuck off diq
