Reddit reviews Nation in Pain, A

We don't even know of many potential side effects. I highly recommend everyone reads the book "A Nation In Pain" by Judy Foreman

Foreman goes into great detail about just how difficult it is to study effects of marijuana using modern science. The studies we have are all from 60's and 70's, when biomedical science wasn't in it's best shape. Nowadays, any experiments are tightly controlled by the DEA, very few human trials are approved, so scientists must use animal models, which are less than accurate to say the least.

I personally have no interest in MJ, I've tried it and I don't like it. But I understand the relative harmlessness of it to grown ups as well as the medicinal benefits in both children and adults. The reasons why it's illegal are absolutely ridiculous, and it scares me that so many people know about the latest memes as opposed to the massive lies that have been told to the citizens and governments of the modern developed world.
