I've been researching strains and thus far i'm convinced that no one has a clue as to what will work best for any given disorder or patient. I'm certainly wanting to see some good research on that issue and that won't happen until the feds ease up on medical weed. Everyone has their own experience to report but following that is still basic trial and error and compromise. MJ should not be a prescription...ever. It's then controlled by the feds. what we need are some ph.d folks doing the research through clinical trials. Ph.D folks that specialize in research are the best possible resourse to do some research...leave the medical community the hell out of it. These are things that i know through my private practice and previous govt funded non profits. trust me...other than a M.D. to determine a possible benefit vs risk...no medical folks! if anyone wants more info on this let me know but i'll leave it at that for now. | |

| Purpose, I really don't understand the point you're trying to make, and you are completely ignoring mine. I've stated that I believe marijuana should be available as an alternative to psych. meds, but due to the great uncertainty and lack of objective scientific information on "mental illness," -medicating these ''diseases'' is risky and questionable. And by the way, "phd's" can't prescribe medicine. The title you are looking for is M.D..

Point taken I guess the point I'm trying to make is, society is blind. | |
