Any evidence of gov't suppression of research? They have been researching marijuana for like 40 years, all over the world.Cannabis is not addictive physically. Alcohol is.
Cannabis has no ill effects on any organ system. Alcohol affects ALL of them.
Cannabis has been proven to help with Alzheimer's, nausea due to chemotherapy, glaucoma, etc.
Alcohol hasn't been proven to do any of that.
I say this as a Navy Drug and Alcohol Program Advisor who did that for 8 years in the military.
So it has no health benefit for a healthy person.
Alcohol has health benefits for the average person, with increased life expectancy across the board.
It is no wonder our military suffers with health providers like you.
With the government suppressing all research into marijuan and its effects there is simply not enough information to say either way. But recent studies indicate moderte cannabis intake protects against Alzheimer's, and Cancer.
I don't think we should outlaw alcohol again either.
