East Bay Express, 22 Sep 2010 – Those who oppose medicinal cannabis should be really ashamed of themselves. There were several scientific studies published just recently that confirmed cannabis’ effectiveness in such diverse conditions as chronic pain, muscle spasms, malnutrition, and glaucoma. Cannabis is also being shown by the most current addiction medicine research as a potential "exit" substance for former alcoholics, hard drug, or even prescription drug abusers to help them stay off those substances. A very recent study just published called the so-called "gateway drug" theory "half-baked." I simply always called it a fantasy. Both the American Medical Association and the Institute of Medicine are in favor of medicinal cannabis, and the Canadian government even pays for this natural remedy for their veterans!
