If not health Benefits it has mental health Benefits
I thought this story was going to be about how Trudeau will be closing all the existing medical dispensaries and IRRADIATING all the gov't sold weed, which of course removes ALL medicinal properties. But I didn't notice this was a CBC story. sigh.
CBC: Here's five wildly different conditions cannabis has been mostly proven to help that would take multiple pharmaceuticals to treat. Also CBC: So it basically helps nothing.
Can people stop saying the CBC is left wing, finally?
its always about the money and rarely about the patient. Israel is a leader in cannabis research, they have done extensive studies while US and Canadian drug companies have been trying to figure out a way to patent everything
Canada, you would be dumb to try and fight this though, regardless of the results. The industry is going to do fantastic things for your economy, and performing more studies is the correct course of action. Find the money.
Fact there are no medical study that shows marijuana illegitamacy since it's still a schedule 1 drug, meaning no funds and no approval by the govt. This is only Propaganda.
I think we should postpone legalizing marijuana until it has enough scientific backing. Just to make sure there isn’t any unknown consequences. And I mean hard science. Not anecdotal.
It is a type of drug and it does have its benefits and risks. For some people with certain health conditions the benefits is greater than the risk. But if you are a healthy individual then the risks outweigh the benefits.
Meanwhile there is plenty of research showing the dangerous and harmful side effects, and addictive properties of numerous prescription medications. But No mention of that, or how incredibly harmless cannabis is in comparison.
If it is not control by a single large company, then why not cloud funding a pool of money to provide grant for universities to research and publish the results in leading medical for peer review.
"Doubts raised over alcohol and tobacco medical benefits"…nobody cares if it has medical benefits. it gets you a nice feeling and it is harmful. all of these bs studies talking about how it does not help but hardly any about how it does not hurt.

Try telling all of the medical cannabis patients that cannabis doesn't have medical benefits. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
I think doubts should be raised over CBC's ability to report news accurately
Who paid for this? It can't just be taxes. Who wanted this?
medical has always been a distraction- that's not the point.
this is about self determination.

Comments full of stoners
So tired of news opinion pieces. Can we get news with just facts….
I feel like that second interview was poor camera work

Massgrowstv ❤'s this! Cannabis will always do well. It is needed and should be researched more extensively.
Right CBC that’s why the US government patented cannabinoids for having health benefits.

It would be more healthy if they didn't pump it full of synthetic blue fertilizer, and spray it with pesticides and fungicides.
If it's media don't trust it with out skepticism. 100 percent lies all lies CBC.

Weed makes you happy, happiness is the best medicine.
…but not a peep about legal pharmaceutical painkillers that destroy your stomach lining and liver?
Marijuana is the answer. Unlike the addictive opioids that are killing people.
there is no doubt, you just have to do the research to prove it. <– cannabis user
THEN LEGALIZE IT FASTER SO WE CAN GET MORE RESEARCH??? STOP THE DELAYS!!!

Umm Israel has done a ton of research into the medicinal benefits of Cannabis. Get with the program CBC. Your research skills are weak

alcohol has no benefits but it's leagal
Doubts raised over CBC's ability to present actual news coverage.
wow…. this really comes off as propaganda
"Doubts raised over alcohol and tobacco medical benefits"…nobody cares if it has medical benefits. it gets you a nice feeling and it is harmful. all of these bs studies talking about how it does not help but hardly any about how it does not hurt.
If everyone hadn't made it impossible to study for the last hundred years maybe we wouldn't have doubts
Oh my gosh, the name use to be youtube Marijuana but they renamed it
Making weed legal will only let corporations saturate the market and cause the demand to drop.
Just because there's no research you post this video with this title.
