Attention Parents Of Teens!!!!

"Zhang's team focused on the potential of a synthetic laboratory-produced form of the cannabinoid compound naturally found in the marijuana plant."

That is a point. I guess they might be using synthetic, so it can be standardized better for testing. And it elimates all other actions on the body from the plant material and smoke. They want to know exactly what cannabinoids are doing. Makes sense, but I am not sure how it will apply to the cannabis plant itself.

"If our results can be confirmed in humans, we should anticipate the chronic use of marijuana as a medical treatment for anxiety and depression," Zhang said.

However, he cautioned that "this treatment is not the same as smoking marijuana. Whether smoking marijuana can produce the same effect, we just don't know."


I'm sure the pharmies are really starting to look at this issue.

Synthetic as in, designer molecule. Similar to ones in nature but not quite.

It won't.

Expect pot busts to be much harsher. Depression is a big market for pharmacorps.

 

I don't expect pot busts to get any harsher than they are now. I have faith in the way my country works (eventually, in this case), for it to stop sending people to prison for possessing the plant.

 

I feel sorry for your husband.....Yes, I understand the concept of bedrest. You are quite a "prize".
