The only way to find the truth of a medical subject is through the scientific method. One person researches, makes discoveries, publishes those findings and leaves behind questions to be answered. Someone else picks up one of these questions, or the entire previous subject, and sets to work. This carries on over and over till scientists are confident they know all there is to know about the subject, and no more questions remain. This is how we should be approaching cannabis, as it is the optimal approach. Any other means is called stagnation. Please, let us get to the medical truth behind this astonishing herb. Support rescheduling cannabis so science can take over what they rightfully question. There is already a lot of research and strong evidence that cannabis is medicinal. States are recognizing this. The National Institute of Health seems to recognize this. I watched a woman with cerebral palsy transform from barely able to communicate to giving a much improved dialogue after inhaling the cannabinoid-rich smoke of the herb. I know that this seems like a crude way to take a medicine, as there is little precedence in American history, outside of relaxing with rich tobaccos. With the help of science -- and the scientific method -- we have discovered that smoking is harmful. People do not have to smoke cannabis, however. Vaporization is proving to be an effective method for ingesting cannabis components. This method is more like breathing in hot air than smoking herb. As long as the plant material doesn't burn, the cannabinoids vaporize as if they were meant to, and no tars or carcinogens are released. However, most vaporizers are expensive, running in excess of $300, even reaching up to $500 and more. I have seen a vaporizer that looks much like a normal pipe. You use a lighter to heat it like you would a pipe. The only difference is that it vaporizes rather than burns. That particular one was not real expensive. There is good news, however; people want to research vaporizers, possibly leading to cheaper units. There it is again, that scientific method at work. It is a mechanism by which our country excels forward into a much progressed and achieved future. Without this mechanism doing its work, there is stagnation, as has been seen in the past when Religion stopped scientific research. Please see science through as it takes grasp of its forbidden fruit and learns all that there is to know about it.
