+washtenaut Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 It seems that the leader of NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse) sounds more reasonable than in the past. We can hope that equates to improved access for research. http://www.drugabuse.gov/about-nida/noras-blog/2015/04/taking-science-informed-approach-to-medical-marijuana Hmm, some interesting comments following the blog posting.....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+washtenaut Posted May 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I don't know. I haven't kept up with her very closely, but the tone seems different than the last time I saw her interviewed. This is interesting too.

Recently approved studies involving cannabis http://www.drugabuse.gov/drugs-abuse/marijuana/nida-research-therapeutic-benefits-cannabis-cannabinoids yeah recent as in 2007... i mean, its a nice page, and it sounds different, but still putting lipstick on that NIDA pig (not talking nora, but the org itself). what i mean is that its the same "we arent blocking research, look at all this research!" they've been saying for 15 years. are there 100 new research studies this year? yes/no. if no, why not? marijuana is the best for seizures. there is nothing better. marijuana is the best for insomnia. marijuana is the best for ptsd. marijuana is the best for wasting/aids. marijuana is the best for nausea. not to mention pain , glaucoma, cancer, tumors, autism, anxiety, gastro problems, muscle spasms, etc etc etc etc theres not even one study per all of the qualifying conditions here in mich.
