>>The official gov't narrative on cannabis is that it is 100% bad. By allowing medicinal use, that narrative would collapse.<< WMcM - That reminds me. Recently, Gersh and some others of us were discussing the medicinal value of hemp oil (really marijuana oil, since hemp is actually a different plant), and Gersh was saying that it's not possible for Pharma companies to do research on it because our government is so down on pot. What I was thinking is that there are some very wealthy countries in the world where there is no such government bias. The Netherlands, for example. I wonder why some Dutch company isn't doing this research? It's not as if all medical research happens in the US only. - Allen
