I should hope so. The research is also going to be in the direction of medical cannabis, because we're flying by the seat of our pants. We know it works. I'm involved in the Quebec cannabis registry. I have 220 patients to whom I prescribe cannabis oil, predominantly CBD, for chronic painful conditions. To my amazement, these people have dropped their opioids like stones. They've stopped taking them. They're far better relieved. We have a number of different illnesses that benefit from it, but we don't have the neurobiological research to demonstrate to us what exactly we're doing, so it's a trial-and-error thing.
On the research, I mentioned a couple of things, including the United Kingdom study in which they followed 5,000 kids aged 13 to 18. The National Institute on Drug Abuse has launched a study on the development of the brain in adolescence. There's also all the other work that Nora Volkow of NIDA has done.
All of this stuff has to be brought to the fore and told to people. We used to have, in the 1980s and 1990s, commercials about smoking that were so enormously successful. The most notable was the cigarette that hung limp, because of smoking causing impotence. People remember it, and the smoking rates are down phenomenally. We need to bombard the public with this kind of thing.
