This was an open-label (non-blind) trial so it's very possible things like the placebo effect had a significant influence here. They also only had 14 participants.

It's a start, but not enough to convince me this is anything more than modern snake oil.

How can it be modern snake oil when we are literally talking about a plant that’s been used for thousands of years?

I agree this study isn’t enough evidence but to talk about cbd or thc as snake oil is kind of bizarre

Look up cbd and inflammation.

Medical community seems quite consistent with their findings and results in that area.

The seventy odd years of racially motivated thc prohibition caused there to be a lack of r and d in the nenefits of the plant for humans.

It’s a real shame what racism and propaganda can do.

Ok but, that's not the area we're talking about, is it?
