Know anyone with a disease? Read this

No it wasn't. It was bad. Really really bad.

 

 

 

It seemed like a good idea at the time...

 

But upon re-reading it...yeah, that was awful.

 

The best puns are always 'groaners'. No shame in that.

No shame felt. The quality of a pun is inversely proportional to the awfulness of it.

 

Best/worst I've ever heard is the classic about Gandhi being a "super-calloused fragile mystic plagued with halitosis." Not the best because it's at all a good pun...the best because I once watched a guy try telling it, and then explaining it, to an Indian...

NIDA, reported to be a major historical obstacle to cannabis research, seems to be evolving.

 

These are recently approved studies

 

http://www.drugabuse.gov/drugs-abuse/marijuana/nida-research-therapeutic-benefits-cannabis-cannabinoids

 

from the article:

 

28 projects were identified (25 projects + 3 supplements) and are listed in the table below.

 

In the table, projects are divided into six disease categories: autoimmune diseases, inflammation, pain, psychiatric disorders, seizures, and substance use disorders (SUDs). Clicking on individual project titles leads to their descriptions in NIH RePorter. Also listed are the cannabinoid substances being examined and, except in cases when the whole plant was used, whether the studied chemicals are purified from the plant, synthetic, or endogenous; and whether the project uses human or animal subjects.

Not true, I just think you are about as intelligent as a broken stone. That's all

Wow, you really nailed me with that one. A broken stone? I feel crushed by your rapier wit. Anyway, congrats on a post that didn't have any grammatical or spelling errors.

How can a stone be broken? If you break it, you just have two stones, not a broken stone.

Maybe if I get not-low I can crack that philosophical quandary.

Here 's a recent article on autism and cannabinoids.

 

http://www.forbes.com/sites/debraborchardt/2015/06/10/desperate-parents-of-autistic-children-trying-cannabis-despite-lack-of-studies/

 

From the article

 

The stories of autistic children that are helped with CBD oil sound very familiar to the stories of the epileptic children that have responded to CBD. A Brown University teacher Marie Myung-Ok Lee , author of Somebody’s Daughter, documented her autistic son’s response to using Marinol, a synthetic cannabis which is produced by the drug company Abbvie. She switched to an edible form of cannabis and then a tea version. Her son went from self-harming behavior like banging his head to being able to ride a bike. She calls her experiment a qualified success.

"Medical marijuana has not been proven to work for many illnesses that state laws have approved it for..."

"... according to the first comprehensive analysis of research on its potential benefits."

 

 

CHICAGO (AP) -- Medical marijuana has not been proven to work for many illnesses that state laws have approved it for, according to the first comprehensive analysis of research on its potential benefits.

 

The strongest evidence is for chronic pain and for muscle stiffness in multiple sclerosis, according to the review, which evaluated 79 studies involving more than 6,000 patients. Evidence was weak for many other conditions, including anxiety, sleep disorders, and Tourette's syndrome and the authors recommend more research.

The analysis is among several medical marijuana articles published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. They include a small study suggesting that many brand labels for edible marijuana products list inaccurate amounts of active ingredients. More than half of brands tested had much lower amounts than labeled, meaning

Here are some interesting new articles on autism and cannabis. One of the authors of these autism articles is the same person that put together the glossary of research terminology that I referenced earlier in this thread.

While the preclinical research appears promising, it’s important to note that preclinical research doesn’t always translate into clinical efficacy; although, anecdotal reports of success do lend themselves to the idea of promise.

 

Anecdotal reports of success. Well now, there you have it.....Bob is stoned again.

Stoned and selling snake oil to desperate parents of autistic kids. Classy. But as long as pot heads can get rid of their guilt.....
