Your appraisal of his comments and your take home message is very balanced and in my opinion, spot on Ian.

Given the choice of cannabis or immunotherapy, I would be more concerned about the latter.. In fact, I would not have immunotherapy in the mix at all..

If they told the American Indians to stop smoking it 200 years ago they would have been scalped

Well I’ve known many people throughout my life and still know who have smoked the stuff for over 50 years who’ve managed to drive, go to work and function normally so those who are trying to stop it are either working for big pharma or totally ignorant because its never hurt me in any way you’ll never stop it ever its gods plant and no man has the right to deny it

The trouble with medicinal cannabis is it is being cultivated under unnatural environments possibly with sprays and fertilizers, then highly processed. Any type of smoking is bad, even breathing in wood fire smoke. Cannabis oil is not much better.
