Reducing the risks of distortion in cannabis research | 09/08/2019 | Research, Medical, risks, opioid |
But the lives of vulnerable people may be put at risk when science is distorted for corporate or ideological ends. As noted, several USstates responded to the much-hypedoriginal study of cannabis and opioid overdosesby authorizing the use of medical cannabis to treat heroin-addicted individuals. Advice that opioid users should use medical cannabis toreplace opioid agonist therapies (e.g., methadone, buprenorphine) poses significant risk because abrupt cessation of these medications dramatically increases the risks of an overdose death if users return to opioid use |
Medical Marijuana for Minors May Be Considered Child Abuse | 10/01/2018 | child abuse, Medical |
In summary, when approaching how to define the threshold to report a family to a child welfare system, we must first take into account our state laws. Our medical opinion, however, must be directed by many other factors, including an understanding of the circumstances and the motivation of the parent. Child welfare systems rely on medical providers to make clear statements regarding our medical opinion about whether a child has been abused or neglected. This is a powerful role. We might also use this case to advocate for a change in state laws or policies regarding the well-intentioned use of marijuana in dire circumstances such as the ones that this mother faced. |

Cannabis Has Medical Value; Medical Marijuana is a Fraud | 10/11/2015 | Fraud, Medical, UCLA |
But “having medical value” isn’t the same thing as “being a medicine.” A medicine is a material of known chemical composition and dosage that has been shown in clinical trials to be safe and effective in the management of some condition in some patient population. By that standard, natural cannabis can’t be a medicine, simply because natural cannabis varies so widely in its chemical content: not only from one strain to another, but from one plant to another and even from one bud to another from the same plant. |
A Bust for Medical Marijauna | 07/12/2015 | Medical, edibles, news article |
A separate analysis of edible marijuana found that many products laced with pot, such as drinks, baked goods and candy, misrepresent the potency of THC, the active ingredient on the labels. Only 13 of 75 products tested were accurately labeled, making reads of their potency and its effects little more than a guessing game. |

Don't Legalize Marijuana | 05/11/2015 | pot, normlize, Colorado-0, youth, Medical, science, Taxes |
The raw cannabis plant has no medicinal value. For the same reasons people no longer chew bark to cure headaches but instead buy aspirin, there is no medical reason to smoke pot. The pharmaceutical profession exists to isolate active medical ingredients from herbs and plants (or synthesize them) and to provide safe, standardized doses with minimal side effects. This is how every other drug works. There is no scientific or medical reason to make marijuana an exception. |

Don't Go to Pot | 04/01/2014 | Medical, car crashes 2, impaired, IQ |
Marijuana does possess certain medicinal properties. So does opium. But we don’t allow unscrupulous quacks to write raw opium prescriptions for anyone willing to pay $65. And if we did, would anybody be surprised that the vast majority of opium buyers were not recovering from surgery—and that many of them shared or resold some of their opium to underage users? |
