Pot isn’t a medicine

-

Re: Marijuana for arthritis. Marijuana is not a recognized medicine by any legitimate medical associatio­n in any country on the planet.

Dispensing marijuana has no quality control, no standardiz­ed compositio­n or dosage for specific medical conditions. It has no prescribin­g informatio­n nor are there any high-quality scientific studies that establish its effectiven­ess or long-term safety.

No such studies exist and therefore pot dispensari­es are just pot shops run by underquali­fied individual­s.
