The FDA has now approved GW Pharma's CBD based treatment for epilepsy.
The FDA only approves medicines on the basis of evidence supported by properly constructed clinical trials.
For your information Cannabidiol (CBD) is one dozens of cannabinols produced in the marijuana plant. It can also be produced synthetically. CBD is a cannabinoid that does not deliver any form of "high" if that is what opponents are worried about. We can't have that can we.
GW Pharma also produce a cannabinoid product for the treatment of MS. That particular company's research into the treatment of glioblastoma relies on a combination of compounds including THC and CBD + and ALK or midkine inhibitor + temozolomide.
For your information the cannabinoid system in YOUR OWN body has nothing to do with the cannabis plant …… although many numskulls believe that it does …… and on the basis of complete ignorance seek to ban any treatment that impacts cell to cell signalling within the human (or animal) body. It just so happens that the cannabis plant produces a wide range of compounds than can be harnessed to impact cell to cell signalling in a beneficial manner. That some cannabinoids can also be produced synthetically is neither here not there.
Red neck opponents must get it through their thick heads that serious medical research is happening with the endorsement of regulators and effective treatments are being delivered to the clinic. Opponents should be aware that they are apposing evidence based medicine.
