Yes for sure there are valid medical uses. Using infused coconut oil on my neck has been a god send! Working even better that shots in the neck to deaden the nerves to reduce the pain. And less intrusive too. Has kept me from having to get surgery so far.
Plus the reports of reducing or eliminating seizures in some folks that did not find effective treatment in conventional medicine are compelling.
There are some strains of the herb that produce more of the CBD the medically active component than the the THC. The get high component.
I'm close to a grower that is focused on growing the medical type. Those in that arena are working together to hybridize and develop the strongest CBD strains for their patients , forgoing the more commercial and profitable recreational market.
I'm hopeful that the changing legal landscape will allow more research into this and possibly other medicines that nature has for us to use.
For one thing , to keep it out of the hands of big Pharma, whose motives have become suspect.
Cheers Richard
