Just clarifying that they aren't sitting around getting stoned.

I wouldn't expect this to lead to legalization either.

Theyre just waiting for the right moment to legalize it.
What I mean is they cant just come up and say: "ok now its legal" out of nothing, theres gotta be a trigger for the move so it sounds right, if you know what I mean.

IMO

it should help take it off a schedule 1 however

"We used injections in the animal testing and are also testing pills," he said. "But you could never get enough Cannabidiol for it to be effective just from smoking."

Still cool

if this gets enough media attention and the human trials work i'm sure it could get to the policy agenda of america. not saying it'll go anywhere, but it'll definitely be looked at.

Wet Blanket.

its making its way to legalization hopefully in the next 5-6 years i personally medicate with marijuana illegally ofc since laws in ny prohibit it but my doctor wont tell me to stop. since i switched to marijuana 2 years for my illnesses i have(Not cancer) ive made a total turn around. pot has actually made me more productive weirdly enough.

Oh please.

So many marijuana advocates approach the problem with "getting high" in mind.

If you really want to push for legalization of pot, then stop talking about its medical benefits. Talk more about the amount of money that can be brought into America through taxes. Talk about how revolutionary it would be for paper and textile industries. Talk about the massive reduction in violent cartel crimes and how they would still make money, but would not be doing so with murder.
