Ew, this was their master grower? Maybe she should stick to growing and leave the literature to someone else.

Edit: after looking at their team (http://www.tilray.com/home/#experts). their best bet would be the clinical research director. I sure hope they aren't describing cannabis as a therapeutic that way.

Saying cannabis is therapeutically relevant is folklore is pretty degrading. I think it's better described as having tons of anecdotal evidence with no large sample, double blinded studies being conducted on it thus far. There is a study going on now evaluating cannabis as a treatment in chronic arthritis of the knee out East, I believe.

Besides that, there is also a lot of basic science, ranging from cell culture, to large mammalian model systems, showing various cannabinoids are useful for a whole host of applications, including brain injury, cancer, chronic pain, inflammation and nausea. I find this is often over looked, maybe because it's hard for non-experts to wrap their heads around it.

If we were to find cannabis today and it didn't carry decades of sigma, we'd be rushing it's evaluation as a therapeutic, trying to understand it's mechanism of action and be taking a detailed look at the 100's of cannabinoids that cannabis makes.
