Re: National Multiple Sclerosis Society responds to AMA's revised opinion on Medical Marijuana

supporting research looking at the potential impact of marijuana as a
treatment tool for MS. Once that research is completed, we will be
able to make a formal statement regarding the known risks and benefits
for our constituents,” said Dr. John Richert, Executive Vice
President, Research and Clinical Programs.
NMSS supports research into the benefits. That could be years. I'm
curious to see what the final delivery system will be and how the
quality control will be obtained. Simply puffing on an unknown source
and quality doesn't seem to be the answer.
How will the contols work in balancing symptom relief and getting
high?

My fingers are crossed for "skunk weed". In pill form.
When you mentioned the "final delivery system" I immediately started
hearing that old Aretha Franklin song in my head ... "Dr. Feelgood" ;
then visualized a shady-looking dude in a wrinkled lab coat knocking on
the back door at dusk. lol
And if I remember correctly, once I'm high I won't much care if there
even IS any symptom relief! :) If I'm prostrate from the vertigo, or
having any other symptom, AND I'm stoned... 's better than just having
the symptom.
Don't Bogart those caplets my friend, pass a couple to me. (Where's my
Dr. Pepper?)
We get a mixture here of 'hard' science, 'hardly' science, and 'weird'
science. I can't wait to add some 'right on' science. hah!
Now I'm wonderin' what I did with my hemostats and that little incense
burner thingy?
WHO YOU CALLIN' A ADDIC' SUCKAH?
