If for every 50 studies made on correlation with depression, anxiety, schizophrenia etc. there was one made on checking for effectivity in PTSD treatment or for effects of various methods of vaporization... then you can begin to convince me on this. But the state of affairs with prescription medication system on which psychiatry rests, wherein we treat with medications far more dangerous than cannabis routinely, does not convince me that raising these type of correlation questions to stigmatized conditions (depression, anxiety etc.) is innocent scientific questioning. This is begging on institutional level, benefiting more the psychiatrists' publication history and their expensive treatment models, than anything else. If not, then where are the studies on psychiatric benefits of Cannabis and the medical institutions prescribing them? There is a lot of power in merely posing the question; even when "sample size is insufficient for conclusion". Who cares, the headline is made? I do, so I fund efforts to conduct that research. There is red tape everywhere in this process and such studies do more harm than good. PGC -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
