    Right, but detracting from the point isn’t very productive. Weed does have the opportunity to be addicting. Now that the world is leading towards more open use of it, hopefully we can do more research and better understand how things work.

      This is honestly one of the saddest parts about all of this. 80+ years of scientific research that we could have been doing. All of the treatments and medicines that we’d likely have…

      Every single time we learn something new and positive about a chemical in cannabis, I can’t help but think that we should have known this shit for decades…

      Absolutely, do the research. But don’t pretend like this is the big addiction problem that must be solved.
