I am not denying that there is no therapeutic effects to Cannabis, on the contrary, I support the science on this.
But I am not under an illusion that it's a miracle drug capable of curing every disease known to man-kind like some proponents, especially those with an addiction or financial interest would like me to believe.
I also believe it should be legalized for medical reasons, but kept illegal for recreational purposes.
My opinion differs on that as I have seen the difference in effects of alcohol and cannabis. The latter is way preferable as a recreational drug, less damaging, less addictive, and doesn't lead to violence. Unless you also want Alcohol banned, which will only lead people to find other means.
Correct. Often people like to argue with me on this point... At the end of the day, I am the one responding to these vehicle accidents and seeing the devastation that drugs have on society first hand.
..And it's my personal number one concern if it became legalized recreationally as it will affect me directly.
Your concerns are correct

It should be obvious since play GT Sport while high doesn't work either, but young and stupid go together :/
Oil can also be dangerous. I.E. The diabetes example I provided earlier.
The need for a doctor is what is required here, which is why it needs to be legal for medical purposes world-wide so that we can get the appropriate medical support, treatment and statistics on it's effect and use...
Because when we have some random pro-cannabis hack that tells a friend of mine that Cannabis oil will cure their diabetes... And instead when consumed actually spiked her insulin level requiring hospitalization... Then we have a problem.
It's backyard medicine, it's dangerous.
We need to teach people from a young age to look for and how to recognize trusted sources, consult experts, triple check, cross reference, especially in this age where you can find confirmation bias for everything on the internet.
Perhaps Euthanasia being legal might be a better alternative for them.
You can still have decent quality of life for a while with pain management, instead of putting poison in your body when you have a very low chance of a positive outcome. Euthanesia is legal here but no need to rush.
You shouldn't be using disinfectant. You should be using antiseptic.
It's common to use Hydrogen peroxide here, but I've occasionally used chlorox wipes after cutting myself outside and having nothing else handy in the car. I know, it's not good, but better than nothing.
Sounds like you might have a dependency on Cannabis? I would be looking into the direct cause of what is preventing your ability to sleep and tackling the issue there... Sometimes just covering a problem up with a drug isn't the best alternative.
Sometimes all that is needed is extra exercise, stretching, correct room temperature and illumination so your body can have the appropriate hormone response to initiate sleep, I am not privy to you direct situation and my medical training and experience is only basic paramedic level.
I've had trouble sleeping since I can remember. Exercise is no problem, I'm getting plenty of that. I've tried natural remedies in my twenties (Melatonin) then switched to Cannabis which worked much better. After moving from Amsterdam to Canada I stopped with the Cannabis until it became legal here last year. No side effects or dependencies or cravings or anything for the 15 year gap in between, just a lot of lack of sleep. Cycling 100km a day didn't even get me sleeping more. I'm much more rested again nowadays.
You didn't hit a nerve, I don't actually get "emotional" over text/forums, but I will happily debate until the cows come home in order to try and better guide people to better sources of information and education... Because information is key... Reliable information is extremely important... Especially when everyone is stuck at home and willing to try "home therapies" during the COVID era.
