Physician David Casarett was tired of hearing hype and half-truths around medical marijuana, so he put on his skeptic’s hat and investigated on his own. He comes back with a fascinating report…

  1. PATENTS…it's because OF PATENTS. Because cannabis is a wild plant the Pharmaceutical companies cant patent it or make money off it. Big Pharma is about shareholders MONEY and not about healing people. Its sad but its true..

  2. Science is being made a hypocrit, because all of the crap they allow on the open market, but when it comes to cannabis "we need more research". Its a plant that has lived way longer than us, in some of the most inhospitable places on this planet. I think we will be alright just keep the people away who think theyre smarter than God.

  3. That was really good if you could get all the doctors on board with what you're saying maybe we wouldn't have opioid crisis going on maybe we could somehow prescribed cannabis that would make people feel like they like like humans you tend to feel not like humans when you're on the opioids and cannabis being illegal in Texas like it is it gives us no choice but to tighten opioids and not deal with cannabis because it is illegal we need our government to get it legalized and get it sanctioned where doctors can study it and make it the right thing the prescribed to people that is an in the life and need a quality of life

  4. WE don't need to hide behind that professional status, it hasn't been proven to kill anyone. If governments are so worried about harmful substances ban alcohol

  5. Why need research when there are so many testimonies? I am disgusted with the health “care” establishment. All they do is finish you with pharmaceutical poisons that don’t work.

  6. Our government is blinded and care less about our children theres no money in it for big pharmaceutical companys. Funding for childhood cancer is 3.97% which is nothing CBD and THC help our daughter till the end of her life our princess Zayda had a brain tumor called DIPG with no cure she was doomed from diagnoses day the tumor takes 6 to 8 months from diagnoses to kill a kid and some kids could live longer if there lucky or have a honeymoon stage but still in danger of loosing there life it could happen to any kid at any time cells in parents don't matter it just happen she got dealt a bad card from what one Dr said to us and Dr.s Dont like CBD and THC since theres no money in it for them also no research is done so Dr.s are clueless on CBD and THC please follow us on Facebook. #princesszayda

  7. I just went to my doctor today asking if I can get my MMJ card and she said that there isn’t enough research and or evidence that it can be beneficial. She is also against it and never recommends it unless it’s needed, I think that’s disappointing because it’s 2020 and we need more doctors to open up and normalize the discussion around the medical marijuana community it’s just so weird that they will recommend drugs that are potentially very addictive and have giant lists of side effects but they won’t look into one plant.

  8. There is no such thing as "medical" marijuana… Marijuana is simply herb that is beneficial to both the human body and brain, especially in very low doses. Same thing can be said with other herbs and plants and even food which are beneficial to our system. This herb should have never been illegal in the first place, should just be put into the kitchen counter along with oregano and parsley and other herbs. I blame the stereotype of the lazy stoner who doesn't accomplish much… and the media for portraying characters as such. Even more appalling would be portraying them as violent and aggressive, which is simply not true unless the marijuana was laced with other, more harsher drugs..

    The evidence is in the pudding, people have been using this herb for a very long time, we came to be evolved with it. It's time people all over wake up and include marijuana into their daily diets and habits. Eating it raw and or decarbed is more beneficial than smoking it would. Most people who smoke it daily are just harmless addicts and there is nothing wrong with that.

  9. No, it's only illegal because they haven't made synthetic "for profit" versions yet.

    Marijuana has been used as a medicine for all of recorded history except the past 80 years of propoganda brought upon by the corporations it threatened.

    >Bob Anderson, chief of the mortality statistics branch for the CDC, disputed that the agency’s coding is the problem. He said complications from medical care are listed on death certificates, and that codes do capture them. The CDC’s published mortality statistics, however, count only the “underlying cause of death,” defined as the condition that led a person to seek treatment.
    *As a result, even if a doctor does list medical errors on a death certificate, they are not included in the published totals. Only the underlying condition, such as heart disease or cancer, is counted, even when it isn’t fatal.*

    i think the problem lies in people's unwarranted faith in the healthcare system, when it was designed since the prohibition of hemp/marijuana to become a "for profit" industry that creates patients rather than cures them. this makes it much harder for people to realize they are being lied to

    Medical errors are the 3rd leading cause of death year after year according to an 8 year Johns Hopkins study (doctors are people too and make mistakes):

    *Doctors take bribes and kickbacks to prescibe medications, even if it's known to be deadly like Fentanyl:*

    this is just a continuation of dishonesty. Today we live off the byproducts of the oil industry rather than using hemp…which is why it and MMJ was made illegal…because corporate profits suffered. Following this trail, tobacco industries created the roadmap for funding bias in science and medicine, and it's never been trustworthy since. Nixon solidified "for profit" healthcare with the HMO Act of 1973 for his buddy Edgar Kaiser, then CEO of Kaiser Permanente
