I don't have time for the debating tonight but I will point out a few things. Eating cannabis results in a totally different chemical process than smoking. It is not a way of experiencing a higher concentration, it is a way of experiencing 11-Hydroxy-THC instead of Delta-9-THC.
You think you know what people are "believing" when they smoke MJ vs. Cigarettes? And that counts for something? Come on...
It's ok for you to admit out loud that the FDA are full of sh*t.
You keep falling back on what the FDA has determined for themselves as some sort of validity machine. Hello? They approved of the makings of the Opioid epidemic. Wake Up! I don't care what your "scientific and engineering" background is. Mine is in Physics with multiple degrees and specializations so let's not go there via pissing contest.
How the FDA should regulate MJ going forward is like alcohol and tobacco(crimes involving MJ to be investigated by ATF not DEA). Recreationally, it should be used however adults want, like alcohol is. Medicinally, if people want to be prescribed a lab grade pharmaceutical for a condition, that is on them and their doctor. Some conditions can be positively treated with very low concentrations of cannabinoids and so the concentration should absolutely not be what is used to determine "medicinality." The production process is what should draw the line between medicine and food. Cannabinoids that are not produced to laboratory grade standards should only be used for non-laboratory grade intentions. Dietary supplementation being one of them, recreational use being another.
You, like the FDA and DEA, are trying to equate a naturally occurring plant with a manufactured pharmaceutical product and then saying that if those two things don't equate, then MJ shouldn't be able to be used by adults on their own terms.
The PTSD study was the first ever approved by the FDA that included actual smoking as the delivery method.
As much as I appreciated Sanjay back then. He was way late to the party and so were you. Sanjay's documentary was very welcomed but it was also laughable and childish (kinda cute) to many in how much it pigeonholed.
Thank you for proving my point about you and boobs:)
