| Re: Why is weed some kind of wonderdrug?
I understand that perti dish testing of various levels of pure THC or CBDs can have various effects on various substances both good and bad. But if THC had a market interesting degree of efficiency in treating the spread of Herpes, as in some of those articles, then it would be more studied in that fashion instead of being used simply for its side effects that alleviate symptoms. "Micromolar" levels? What does that even mean? If you douse a cell of herpes in a dish with higher than possible THC levels it will have effects? Most of those studies don't seem to translate to practical medicine, nor are hardly any about tests on living creatures. im sure wd-40 would kill a herpes virus too.
But nothing but literal magic could effectively treat (as in efficable to use instead of or in comparable success as synthetic chemical drugs) as many ailments as cannabis is purported to.
Now as far as natural homeopathic preferred treatment, thats a different story that I can understand. But from a practical standpoint, it seems that simply sideeffects of being high or the high itself is a bandaid over symptoms, which most illicit drugs are capable of as well.
