    • I see people get immediate relief in our medication room at the medical marijuana clinic I volunteer at. I know it works and take pride in helping. They don't need tests to prove what helps myself and those around me.

      something about a triple blind clinical trial that proves cannabis's positive affects at reducing pain..seems like the no medicinal value arguement wont hold water any more......good deal
