Kathy, you bring to the table a boatload of information that is somewhat difficult for some people in here to understand. The complexities of the plant are still being discovered and most folks are stuck in the creepy Anslinger net of lies and intentional misinformation. I appreciate varied opinions from the medical cannabis users who are able to relate their experiences without prejudice. I urge you to post what you know for Big Pharma stands in the way of legitimate cannabis research as they instead look for another compound to patent and a pill to sell.
