RE: The Cannabis Conundrum - Breaking Laws To Grow Legally
Yes, there is so much to learn about long term use. However, there are also very well documented longitudinal studies spanning 20 years or more on daily cannabis users. I feel that educating society (especially youth), as you suggested, on the dosage and long-term affects will certainly help people act in a safer way.
I also believe more studies should be done on method of consumption e.g. Vaporization vs. Combustion and methods of consumption like edibles - what dietary pros & cons are there?
Study: Vaporization Offers Attractive Alternative to Smoked Cannabis (via NORML)
I agree. I think when you take something like alcohol, you are able to measure the amount (volume) but also the percentage of alcohol in each type of drink. With cannabis it seems there is so much variation in the THC concentration in each strain that I think it's difficult for people to truly dose in a consistent way
Exactly. It is hard to measure THC & CBD content in cannabis without proper equipment, but that is already changing. There will be no need for labs because on-site testing is already being developed. I believe there will be much more information available to the consumer once it becomes a 'national' product for consumption.
For example, a google search shows a company marketing a handheld/portable device that measures potency and more. Portable Cannabis Potency and Chemical Analyzer
The good news is: science and technology are going to enhance our understanding of cannabis and outshine the propaganda that has been attached for decades.
That's encouraging to hear. I'm glad they are making strides to educate and create a safer experience for people. I appreciate that you are taking the time to become highly educated and to educate others on the subject
