I've seen the inside of the pot business and the term 'medical' is a crock of ****. it is NOT based on helping people. this is just what politicians use for cover when they support it while they actually are just thinking about tax revenues.

I've read several versions of history that suggest racism more than Big Pharma in the 1930's or Nixon's DEA in the 1970's put cannabis where it is.

The good part of pot that can be extracted out for medical purposes is losing out to the bad part and making some very unstable smoking blends. So in that sense then yes there is little medical application to a blend tilted towards THC V's CBD.

As the legal use of marijuana and other cannabis products grows, consumers are becoming more curious about their options. This includes cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), two natural compounds found in plants of the Cannabis genus.
CBD is found primarily in extractions from the hemp plant. It’s sold in gels, gummies, oils, supplements, extracts, and more.
THC is the main psychoactive compound in marijuana. It can be consumed by smoking marijuana. It’s also available in oils, edibles, tinctures, capsules, and more.
Both compounds interact with your body’s endocannabinoid system but they have very different effects.
