Why?

Because there are 7 million threads about that already. Most of them carbon copies.

Cannabinoids have been clinically proven to cure many things but cannabis is still prohibited because you can't patent a plant. Big pharma doesn't like that. They've created synthetic cannabinoids (Marinol etc.) but users claim it's not as effective as the real thing and costs much more.

At the end of the day the only thing you can do is say fúck the prohibition, grow your own, and run the risk of being caught. I think most courts would be lenient if you explain you only grow it for yourself and use it medicinally. It's time we stand up for ourselves and demand an end to this ridiculous prohibition.

it's insane they would synthesize properties of a plant which are more expensive and less effective in treating ill people...but keep the real thing illegal!!

the problem certainly appears to be one of politics and money.
if the pharma companies can't make money, no point promoting it.

that makes sense from a business perspective but clearly they don't genuinely care about helping people get better from sickness.

its even crazier when you consider sativex doesn't contain a synthesised cannabinoid, in fact it contains thc extracted from the cannabis plant that is so darn dangerous according to vested interests!!

i persuaded my now deceased mother in law to try cannabis after her radiotherapy sessions,as her appetite was gone,and she was constantly in pain.she said it worked wonders for her,and it made the last few months of her life that little bit more bearable.if it can make a terminally ill human being feel a bit better than doctors should be allowed to prescribe it,on a case by case basis even.morphine is used in every hospital in the world to treat pain,and morphine is basically pharmaceutical heroin no?just my two cents.

agreed the law should be more flexible

Snake oil cures cancer.

Big pharma won't patent it because there is no money to be made in a cure for cancer.

If we lived in a proper country there would be sufficient penalties to punish Drug suppliers and users and lies and nonsense like this from the hard left would be properly exposed. Get society drug addicted and too docile to question anything.

ssshhhhh be quiet or i'll get antifa after ye:rolleyes:

You guys know that “cancer” is not one disease, right?

Same as the “common cold” is not one virus, and “‘flu” is not one strain.

there is an enormous backlog of unexplored disease, way beyond oncology. I would be delighted to have a fix all cure for thousands of diseases (like cancers), so we would get stuck into treatments for the bazillions of other diseases. Explain gene therapy, vaccines and antiviral if that was the aim. CURES. These are developed more and more these days. One treatment plan clears you of Hep-C these days. or soon, hopefully Hemophilia... forever. Amazing medical technology, where the liver is modified to produce a new protein. Why would a company even go the bother todevelop that if keeping everyone sick was the aim. They can make a heck of a lot more money from treating that hemophiliac forever than curing them. And yet a trial of a gene therapy cure is ongoing.

Reality is, most fix all claimed unsubstantiated “cures” are as money grabbing as everything else that is hawked at the ill. From Juice Cleanses to spirit cleansing retreats.

Ethics fail.
