I can see how the argument goes, equate it to other drugs that were once deemed safe and were used as medicine. Thing is cocaine and heroine are not natural substances, they are derivatives and the smeer campaign going on here is illogical. The medicinal properties of cbd are so valuable because the plant does not need to be manipulated for the medicinal effects to work as with coca or poppy you will need extremely large doses of the natural plant. Smoking a joint can inhibit certain debilitating nervous system diseases immediately.
I think the point we are making is if it were used the same way and in the same quantities of cigarettes it would be shocking if it wasn't killing people in the same numbers. But its not used with that volume so of course it isn't killing people in the same numbers, and it is illegal so its vary hard to do a firm study on the impacts to people who just smoke allot of pot.
