The Government Is Terrified You'll Find Out The Truth About Cannabis

Radiotherapy and chemotherapy kill cancer cells. A
homeopathic approach is just expensive water or sugar that provides some placebo effect. And the side effect is that people leave effective treatments and die.

Wow, look into the Hoxsley Clinic, the Gerson Therapy, Dr. Mercola, or better yet check out Ty Bollinger. Big Pharma doesn't want any of that knowledge known, which is probably why you don't know about any of it.

Thanks for the sources. Maybe I will take a look later, but I do know enough about chemistry to say that homeopathy principles are incompatible with most of the scientific evidence we have about human health and properties of water. Science could be wrong? Of course it could , but with current data the chances that homeopathy is wrong are way much higher.

Homeopathy has advanced nothing since it was invented in XVIII century. At that time existance of virus, bacteria and many other aspects related with human health were unknown. Big pharma did not exist at that time , and nobody was able to prove effectiveness better than placebo effect since then.

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.
