    I disagree with your arguement

    Fistly lets address your "scientific evidence"

    British journal of medicine article addresses it is as useful as codine..so it is a relatively good pain killer...where did you get the conclusion that codine was not a good pain killer and then draw the conclusion that mm was not too

    Glaucoma article 9 ppl in a test goup thats like saying I pooled all the people in the bathroom at work today and found that the population of the earth was 100% male

    and dont even get me started on the FDA DEA regulated federal paper you quoted...

    NOW in support of MM

    The second largest physician society recognizes its medical value, American College of Physicians (ACP)

    recent publications of the reduction of brain tumors by CBD in Nurology magazine

    Dutch pharmacists and doctors often perscribe use
    It has been around for 5000 years in use by humankind
