Marijuana as wonder drug

From an editorial in the Boston Globe’s Health section, entitled Marijuana as wonder drug: “A new study in the journal Neurology is being hailed as unassailable proof that marijuana is a valuable medicine. It is a sad commentary on the state of modern medicine — and US drug policy — that we still need “proof” of something that medicine has known for 5,000 years.”

    Not to get all anti-weed or whatever but “From 1840 to 1900, American and European medical journals published over 100 papers on the therapeutic uses of marijuana, also known as cannabis.” there was also ones that said cocain, heroin, and who knows what else.

    Yeah, but I swear, when you’ve got a head cold, there’s nothing better than 8-ball to clean your sinuses.
