Marijuana does raise the risk of getting schizophrenia and triggers heart attacks, according to the most significant study on the drug's effects to date.

A federal advisory panel admitted cannabis can almost certainly ease chronic pain, and might help some people sleep.

But it dismisses most of the drug's other supposedly 'medical benefits' as unproven.

Crucially, the researchers concluded there is not enough research to say whether marijuana effectively treats epilepsy - one of the most widely-recognized reasons for cannabis prescriptions.

The report also casts doubt on using cannabis to treat cancers, irritable bowel syndrome, or certain symptoms of Parkinson's disease, or helping people beat addictions

"National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine" - Never
heard of it. Not recognized as a Medical Authority. Wouldn't be
something sponsored by Federal agencies like the DEA, the FBI and the
NSA, would it ...

Oh, it IS ?

"The report also casts doubt on using cannabis to treat cancers,
irritable bowel syndrome, or certain symptoms of Parkinson's disease"

WTF ? No official medical consensus has EVER claimed any of those. In
fact, they are not mentioned in any decent medical text book.

Where did they even get the idea ?

Oh - on Fox News and the Daily Mail. OK ......
Carry on as you were, Trumpet....
