However, laboratory trials are extremely important in identifying which drug compound/biologic/etc. is safe for human clinical trials. There is also Nonclinical Toxicology research (Lab trials) that oftentimes do not include human subjects (usually use rats) due to safety, time constraints, or a lack of population for an actual trial. Dosing effects from this Nonclinical research, for example, on mutagenesis, fertility, carcinogenesis, are often included in the label of medications. Edited April 9, 2018 by garybusey

It is not pot cures everything or that pot cures all disease, as some of you morons continue to claim. It says, if you know anyone with a disease, read this. Why? Because the knowledge may help you or someone you know, dipshit! Because the endocannabinoid system is involved in a great many bodily processes. It is an intercellular communications network that was not discovered until relatively recently. As stated in one of my first posts, cannabinoids were not researched for the past 75 years and so may be involved in some of the more confounding diseases afflicting us. If I could expand the title I would add .... Know anyone with a Disease? Read this (unless you are too ignorant to understand new information) Expand

Expand Paper published this week - in Nature, I think - that describes how 100 years of laboratory trials on immunology have to be questioned and basically thrown out, because it turns out they were all done on laboratory mice born and raised in sterile environments...and it turns out you need microbial exposure to properly develop an immune system.
