So it was a Cash Grab?
Evidence does not support the use of cannabidiol (CBD) products as a treatment for chronic pain, a new review found.
A meta-analysis of relevant studies published in scientific journals found a lack of convincing evidence that CBD – packaged as oils, vapes, creams, gummies, drinks, and more – reduces pain, prompting the team of UK and Canadian researchers to advise caution when comparing the marketing claims of CBD products.
Scientists were still learning about the potential benefits and risks of CBD when its promotion as a pain reliever took off with a substantial head start.
The authors hope more balanced, evidence-based advice can now be given to patients and their care providers, while research focuses on effective pain treatments.
So this miracle drug was nothing more than another tax grab with a side benefit of enabling more people to get high....and the reason that driving with the windows down nowadays results in us wondering if we're going to piss hot at Random Drug?
Man, if we weren't cynical before.....

Cash grab for the connected vendors, decriminalizing criminals to qualify for patronage, keep the population lazy, stupid and high. All of the aforementioned reasons.
When those dispenaries opened and I saw the lines of people waiting, it reminded me of a scene out of Soylent Green.
Its creepy as hell.
Over the decades, the people I'd meet who were pushing for this were annoying. They'd refer to it as herbology but the only thing they ever talked about was pot.
Makes me feel like they deserve to pay more in taxes.
Now go drink some turmeric tea and wrap onions on the bottom of your feet before you go to bed. That should take care of anything.
If we learned nothing else during the COVID scare, we learned how important it is to follow the $cience!
I know plenty of people who swear by CBD for help with injuries and chronic pain. It might not work for everyone but it does help a lot of people.
Big pharma wants you hooked on pain meds just like they want you taking their clot shots and other wonder drugs they advertise all over TV.
Didnt we learn anything from Covid? Big pharma doesnt like cheap, effective competition ( ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine anyone? ) and medical "science" is completely corrupt.
This isn't 70's stoner smokeweed. The plants have been bred for intense levels of THC. Some pot users are at a risk of induced or aggravated psychosis, interesting how that didn't get in the way of legalization.
There is no way to collect evidence data on experiencing pain.
Only anecdotal opinions from individuals.
Said anecdotal opinions about many other health relevant experiences being scoffed at by these vary same brainiacs who tout the all knowing powers of their data.
Explurts.
Ex splurting their explurteases for decades now.
CBD without THC works wonders. These "scientists" are quacks.
why did so many dispensaries in Chicago get rid of the retired coppers that were working security there because they want unarmed security so the billionaires that own these drug places want to make more money all the cash that rolls in there and they don’t want armed police! And they are paying them less than half what they were paying the coppers! This is the same type of security that should be guarding the mayor of the city of Chicago again though why does he have 150 fully armed police officers on his detail he rivals the Secret Service with the presidency! You would think that Chucky we do a report on this, but of course you don’t because you’re scared as he hides in his home in Hinsdale
CBD oil has the THC removed. It's not supposed to get you high.
The linked articles are referring to CBD, which is non-psychoactive. They are not referring to THC, which is the stuff that gets you high.
At least 7 new pot ships have sprung up in new buffalo mi in the past year. Parking lots are busy. America is ruining itself, and the governments at the forefront.
Emergency rooms all over the country had spikes of Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome ever since the proliferation of this drug.
They not only are making a fortune on this crap but they're also addicting millions more kids.
Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS), or cannabis hyperemesis syndrome, is caused by long-term cannabis (marijuana) use. Hyperemesis means severe vomiting. People who have CHS experience repeated and severe bouts of nausea, vomiting, dehydration and stomach pain.

Mainly.....Fatboy downstate.
His family has numerous Cannabis farms in Colorado and lets all remember.....as soon as he was elected in, Cannabis became legal in Illinois.
I guess some people don’t know the difference between CBD and THC.
you mean my government lied to me?????
I can see why pot shops will multiply in new buffalo. Little wonder. IL rips people off as usual. Here 1 vape is about $50. With a total ripoff of $20. In taxes. In MI the carts cost $13 or so for most. An order with about 6 cartridge and others total tax $14.51. This is at the first exit in MI 2 stores open and 1 under construction. Only a short 60 mile ride. And while your there gas liquor cigarettes ammo taxes are all cheaper
Hey, wasn't that guy attacking folks with a knife, smoking weed too?
The derelicts and weirdos lined up at Milwaukee and Devon to get their weed under the watchful eye of a burly security guard are no different than the west side drug markets. Whole city is a shithole now.
Read about the world economic forum 2030 plan. They are getting many high so they can do whatever they want with population. Read about 15 minute cities, not tin foil hat stuff truth. Biblical prophecy being fulfilled every minute! Get right with Jesus!
CBD oil does not get you high. It contains only 0.3% THC or less.

It depends on the person with regard to CBD. It does help some people and some dogs too. Kratom is also used by some for pain and for depression, helps some people but not others.
These days I wouldn't trust a thing the AMA, FDA , USDA, or most docs have to say.
With reference to legalizing pot, certainly it was a cash grab, read some articles on Colorado, Washington and Ore-gone. It's not the panacea they thought it was.
I’m not sure if any of you have been to a dispensary. It is usually older people. Retirees that want some pot for a little pain. To them, it works. This means that fewer of them are going to the doctor or having to deal with insurance. If they are happy and they are partaking at home, then it is not a problem.
I know more than a few combat vets that smoke because it is much better and much safer than going to the VA. Too many of our brothers have died from the painkiller and antidepressant cocktail that the VA gives them. Plus, if they “treat” them selves, they don’t have to worry about the gov coming after their guns.
As for the “psychosis” claims, it is pure nonsense put forth by the scumbags at the big pharma. Does Willy Nelson or Joe Rogan look like they are suffering from psychosis? I do know several vets that have suffered psychosis from products from big pharma. Hell, read the side effects. Suicidal tendencies is always listed
Dozens of guys I deployed with got away from the meds the VA kept prescribing. They weren’t doing shit but making them feel worse. Most switched over to Cannabis, some have even ventured into microdosing Psilocybin. All have nothing but great things to say about the improvements in their mental health, and quality of life. Big pharma doesn’t want you healthy…no money in it. I thought the past five years would’ve taught everyone this.
CBD isn’t the same as THC (active ingredient in cannabis). CBD isn’t regulated and does not produce the euphoric feeling that traditional cannabis does.
CBD doesn’t show on a drug test stop it with the “false positive” crap. It’s great for sleep and aches and pain. When a government study tells you that it isn’t good then you know it’s good. They rather have you on THEIR harmful drugs.
All you people (folks) should look into different strains of Kratom and its benefits.
While I’m at it half you “guys” should look into testosterone replacement therapy.

That’s right. Agenda 2030.
I smoked a bit of weed after I retired. Won't be doing that again. Shit gave me AFIB.
Doctor put my on cholesterol meds a year ago because my LDL was through the roof and HDL was low. Had me on two different meds for cholesterol and one for blood pressure.
Did a little research so I stopped taking the cholesterol meds 3 months in and every morning when I woke up I took an elixir of olive oil, sprinkle of cayenne pepper and squeeze of lemon juice. Did it every day. I also cut out some sugar and made sure I walked a little every day. Just walked my dogs a bit more is all I did. 3 months after that I got labs done and my LDL was a little under range and HDL was perfect on top of that I lost 15lbs and didn’t need the blood pressure meds anymore.
I got off the Advil and use Kratom every day for general aches and pains. My knees and hips feel good. I can pick up things from the floor without groaning.
Instead of benedryl to sleep I take CBD gummies. I sleep soundly and feel refreshed when I wake up.
Being 50 now I also got into Ashwaganda daily to keep cortisol low and I notice I have a libido again and I’m not as moody.
So forget any government entity recommendations and their fake studies. The agenda is for us to be sick and depressed and unhealthy. Sick depressed and unhealthy people are open for suggestions and are desperate to feel better. So they’ll jump at what the government offers.

Small doses of psilocybin through the day vastly improved my relationship with my wife and family and cut down my urge to drink.
I think clearly no brain fog and things that used to make me lash out before isn’t even a factor anymore. Dog pissed on the floor? Hey. I got it let me grab some paper towels. Honey don’t burn the rice this time nobody likes crunchy rice. Hey, no problem let me lower this flame a little I’ll keep an eye on it.
It’s amazing. I’m a whole new man.

And some states and cities have even made Kratom illegal. Of course all the big pharma drugs are A-Okay.
Stay away from docs if at all possible.
CBD is the only thing that works when my knees hurt in cold weather... rub it on, pain goes away immediately.
Sore neck, same deal.
Just don't buy it from 'Rones House of CBD! Get it from a real lab somewhere that gets it independently tested and has tracable results...
Eat right, exercise, drink only water or decaf tea, no alcohol, and get a good nights sleep.
End result 97% of people would be fabulous.
Don’t do one of those things and become a health care patient.
Pot users are losers.
