Is it possible we may be jumping the gun, even a little, when it comes to medical pot?

But one of the people who has done the most work with cannabis in the U.S. is Prof. of Biology, Robert Melamede. He, to you, would sound like a salesman - because, in all his years of work, he has become more and more impressed by the many, major issues that cannabis as medicine has responded to.

He says the endocannabinoid system (only discovered since the 1990s) controls homeostasis for almost every major bodily system - not the skeleton - but any system with soft tissue organs.

He thinks cannabis is going to be the aspirin of this century, in terms of its therapeutic value. Aspirin is called a "wonder drug" because of its many applications.

Funny how no one ever tries to insinuate that someone who calls aspirin a "wonder drug" is a saleman when they're simply noting its value to humans for a variety of illnesses.

It's sort of a bias among those who want to appear outside of the issue, to say "both sides do it." Like people who don't vote say to avoid looking at the issue.
