So are you of the opinion that cannabis has no health effects?

Cannabis has important health effects and I agree medical use should be allowed in case scientific evidence proves it is effective and do not cause serious side effects. Current data shows it has potential but more research is needed. Big pharma is not interested in researching it because unlike synthetic drugs it cannot be patented. In my opinion public funded studies should be done to check effectiveness and safety of using cannabis for different treatments.

I agree with the publicly funded studies, that's the way all medical research should be done, with an un-bias opinion. Wouldn't cannabis then be considered a natural or homeopathic remedy?

No. Homeopathy and natural treatments are not the same.

Homeopathy is based on diluting a poison up to the ridiculous point when it is highly unlikely you will find a single molecule every 1000 dosages, believeing that water has memory effect and that the beneficial effects are improved the more diluted the mix is. The best definition would be esoteric treatment. Patients may feel better because they have faith in homeopathy. Praying has the same effect, but it is cheaper.

I am not against natural treatments as long as their use is not only based in ancient traditions, but also in scientific evidence.
