    On the one hand, this stuff is dogshit. On the other hand, it’s a convenient alternative in bass ackwards states that get on their knees for Jesus and won’t legalize the non-dogshit real deal. Literally the only time state legislators don’t want corruption money, apparently?

      I don’t think it should be banned, but I also think it’s bunk. THC doesn’t do anything healthy for the body. It’s all BS. But not sure why congress is even wasting their time with stuff like this.

      Also, Lemmy I don’t care how mad you are, THC oil doesn’t help you. But hey, feel free to throw your money away, and I think you should be free to be an idiot and throw that money away. It doesn’t concern me at all.

        I mean, cannabis/THC is used in different types of therapeutic treatment all over the world, and has been for literally centuries, but okay buddy

            Riiiight

            Literally two seconds of reading.

            Is this like an elitism, looking down on people who use cannabis type thing? Because it’s definitely not rooted in any sort of intellectual honesty

            Same energy as someone who judges someone for having a beer on the weekend by saying “I don’t need alcohol to have fun”, while everyone rolls their eyes into the back of their head

              Yep.

              But you keep believing made-up stuff. Rhino horns have been used as an aphrodisiac for centuries. And dried tiger penis? You think that’s has magical effects too? Let me guess, you think that there’s a magical central energy force in the center of your body too?

              Do you think that it’s good luck to have your furniture facing a specific direction so you can get “good energy” in your house and not evil energy? LMAO

              Brah, it’s all fucking bunk. A plant that gets you high. That’s it. It’s not magic. It’s not healthy. The oil isn’t magic. It doesn’t fucking do shit for healing. Just admit you like to get high and most of the magical qualities that you all push was just to get it normalized so it’d be legal. Hemp makes good clothes and paper. Regular weed gets you high. That’s all there is to it.

              Dude, I’m with you. I voted for legalization. I think it should be legal. But it’s not healing or magic. Stop.

                There are medical applications != “healing magic”

                If you use your eyes and your big boy brain to read things, you’ll see that basically every culture has found medical applications for cannabis.

                You clearly will disregard any history or science that comes your way, because you’ve dug in your heels and found something to make you feel better than some caricature you’ve invented in your head.

                I’m not going to address any of the false equivalencies you’ve presented because as stated, you’re speaking from a place of imagined elitism and not intellectual honesty.

                  And your speaking for a place of pro-weed elitism. My opinion is just as valid as yours. You keep smoking, tho. I’ll keep standing for your right to do it. But I’ll keep mocking people who get high. :)

                    Your opinion isn’t as valid as anyone’s because it isn’t based on facts. I haven’t even indicated if I smoke. I haven’t given an opinion at all in fact.

                    I actually haven’t said anything for or against weed either way, only acknowledged that it does in fact have medical uses. Which is a fact.

                    This is a very libertarian approach to reality, as long as it makes you feel better than someone else it must be true right?

        It doesn’t hurt either and even if it did, it wouldn’t be the fucking governments business.

          The article itself says cannabis effects are ‘not completely understood’ and that treatments need ‘careful selection of active compounds,’ which shows THC’s anti-inflammatory action is limited and not reliable on its own. LMAO

          Dude, I voted pro-legalization. Just stop acting like it’s anything more than people like to get high. And that’s fine, but stop acting like it’s some medical magic. lol

            I literally just linked the first google result. Not the only research about it.

            Why does it being limited mean anything? Is limited the same as non existent now, or…?

            Edit: You can pick and choose quotes, but this is directly from the abstract:

            In multiple experimental models, both in vitro and in vivo, several phytocannabinoids, including Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG), exhibit activity against inflammation.

            I honestly could not give less of a shit about your position on legalization. But to pretend that established medical uses for cannabis are just fake is ignorant as fuck.
