I agree with what you're saying about bias. My approach to medical cannabis from the beginning has been the old approach of medicine: sit down and listen to your patient. There's no reason why doctors can't start with that and monitor patients closely. The veterans have taught me how to do medical cannabis by sitting and taking the time to listen to their journey though this catch-22 quagmire.
The paradigms are changing and shifting. There are new rules of engagement across the board, both in marijuana medicine and in all areas of our society. Why can't the licensed producer companies be mandated by the government to put a percentage of their profits into one pot for research?
