A doctor's case for medical marijuana | David Casarett
Physician David Casarett was tired of hearing hype and half-truths around medical marijuana, so he put on his skeptic’s hat and investigated on his own.
He was doing okay, sort of middle of the road. then, I have no idea where he went with this. Movement on policy of this plant is at historically Glacial levels, and it is the most studied plant in the last 30 years. There are hundreds of studies of the governments' own PubMed website, which is maintained and supported with public tax monies. At the same time, there have been dozens of drugs given the rubber stamp including the cannabinoid equivalents, with alcohol added, and it doesn't really work the same. Is it as effective? Not in any way, shape, or form. He went off in a stream of shilling for the FDA and the DEA at the end, who BTW, have no compunction against ruining his career if he gets too friendly with this wonderfully capable Plant of Renown. Sad. JS
I had a dr tell me to take meds that are black box and in the same breath said supplements and marijuana was a waste of time and money. Said cigarettes would help with tension. His brother had an oncology office across the hallway.
Everything is controlled by Pharma and the money they make. Drugs that have serious side effects are put on the market. Doctors are brainwashed that pharma drugs are the only way. I’ve never been told that diet and exercise can be the solutions to my type II diabetes and high blood pressure by a doctor. They give me a ten minute review and prescriptions. On my own, I lost 20 lbs and my HBa1c is now 5.6 my blood pressure is good too. Preventative medicine is a valuable approach. I’m not saying it was easy but many doctors go rote and follow a set protocol with no deviation.
There aint no such thing as medical marijuana. I dont care what any doctor says. I smoked the stuff for years and i never saw where it did anything but get me high. People want to be able to get high legally and you got other people that want to help them because they bought into the pain reliever pitch. It aint nothing but pure hogwash. Ive smoked enough of the stuff to pull a battleship around. Theyre aint no pain relieving abilities in smoking pot. Take it from a man that had enough sense to leave that stuff alone and has no reason to lie. If someone wants to smoke thats their business but making it legal is a definite mistake.
PATENTS…it's because OF PATENTS. Because cannabis is a wild plant the Pharmaceutical companies cant patent it or make money off it. Big Pharma is about shareholders MONEY and not about healing people. Its sad but its true..
Science is being made a hypocrit, because all of the crap they allow on the open market, but when it comes to cannabis "we need more research". Its a plant that has lived way longer than us, in some of the most inhospitable places on this planet. I think we will be alright just keep the people away who think theyre smarter than God.
Absolutely sucks in my country. Knowing it's highly illegal and being the only thing that actually works for me. Feeling like a damn criminal when I'm so unwell.
That was really good if you could get all the doctors on board with what you're saying maybe we wouldn't have opioid crisis going on maybe we could somehow prescribed cannabis that would make people feel like they like like humans you tend to feel not like humans when you're on the opioids and cannabis being illegal in Texas like it is it gives us no choice but to tighten opioids and not deal with cannabis because it is illegal we need our government to get it legalized and get it sanctioned where doctors can study it and make it the right thing the prescribed to people that is an in the life and need a quality of life
Marijuana makes some people's anxiety worse, not better.

honestly the worst part of the TED videos is how ungodly loud the intro is, to how insanely quiet the speakers are.

Liberty. Personal choice.
It’s like Wrap it up sometime – am I right
When I was going through radiation (on my brain) I was so nauseous. Medical marijuana was the only thing to stop that terrible feeling. 💜
Dam right it does
It's just weed

Free the weed, it's shocking over here in the UK that it is illegal.

But medically only. I’ve met too many formerly healthy people who’ve become addicted and let these ruin their life.
Why can't we have an AI government.
From day one modern medication is trial and error, offered by medical care operators, not real physicians.
