Penny,
I'm no expert, but my Dr. who heads hematology at City of Hope is, and he's at least interested in what they're doing. Perhaps it can't do it alone, I was on sirolimus and tacrolimus for some time after my transplant, they worked for me, but I cannot say that adding some CBD wouldn't have made them work better. I did have some issues that had to be resolved and even now, after 3 years my Dr. still looks for signs of rejection.
I just read that aspirin was discovered about 120 years ago when a scientist at Bayer gave his father acetylsalicylic acid for his headaches. While it had been used in other forms well before that, it wasn't manufactured as aspirin until 1899. Even today they keep finding new applications for aspirin, but don't fully understand how it works. I think aspirin could certainly be the largest selling drug and one of the miracles of the 20th Century, perhaps a little over 80 years from now cannabis might be recognized as the miracle drug of the 21st Century, and even then, they may not understand all they ways it works.
As I understand it there are over 200 compounds that can be extracted from cannabis, CBD and THC are certainly the most prominent, but who knows what may be found when others are tested either by themselves, or in combination with others. I like the fact that KALTF is taking a scientific approach toward the use of cannabis. I takes far longer to do things right, but I believe the rewards of gaining a drug approval, in a manner similar to what GW-H has done will be far more rewarding long term than putting untested products into use, even if it's completely legal to do so.
