And I must say, it set off my BS detector.

I feel like it was a story commissioned to come up with those results, kind of like oil companies that study the climate, trying to demonstrate that global warming isn't caused by climate.

What about the infamous munchees? I'm going to reserve judgement on this one. Soon they'll be saying it helps male pattern baldness.

And all of this, even though I think our nation's drug laws are abhorrent, especially when it comes to weed. Let the people smoke!

for big pharma to pay politicians to keep it illegal....

is very interesting to learn about.

Excerpt:

The endogenous cannabinoid system, named after the plant that led to its discovery, is perhaps the most important physiologic system involved in establishing and maintaining human health. Endocannabinoids and their receptors are found throughout the body: in the brain, organs, connective tissues, glands, and immune cells. In each tissue, the cannabinoid system performs different tasks, but the goal is always the same: homeostasis, the maintenance of a stable internal environment despite fluctuations in the external environment.

Cannabinoids promote homeostasis at every level of biological life, from the sub-cellular, to the organism, and perhaps to the community and beyond. Here's one example: autophagy, a process in which a cell sequesters part of its contents to be self-digested and recycled, is mediated by the cannabinoid system. While this process keeps normal cells alive, allowing them to maintain a balance between the synthesis, degradation, and subsequent recycling of cellular products, it has a deadly effect on malignant tumor cells, causing them to consume themselves in a programmed cellular suicide. The death of cancer cells, of course, promotes homeostasis and survival at the level of the entire organism.

Excellent; Diabetics can now legally smoke.
Meanwhile Sugar Frosted processed carbohydrate flakes continue to be legal.
