If it were nearly as effective as you're making it out to be, then doctors would be prescribing it instead of corticosteroids and other real anti-inflammatory meds and real peer-reviewed medical studies would support this. Neither is the case. The medical weed schtick is as old and tired and overused as the hippies that try to push it based on half-truths and half-assed 'studies'. I saw some of the links that were mentioned, and I could not find the actual study to read, but it seems to be yet another one of these "half-truths" where there may be some marginal effect, but the wording used to describe the study did not indicate to me that it was very scientific at all.
Don't get me wrong, I don't really care if people want to smoke up, hell I actually tend to think that legalization and taxation of it could have some real benefits. I'm in the same boat as Tincow, I did enough in high school and college to kill a herd of goats. It's just really damn annoying when people try to pitch the BS as some kind of miracle drug or as effective or a real alternative to modern medicine, when it's not.
