RE: State Finally Looks at Science, Approves Use of Marijuana to Treat Opioid Addiction

in #cannabis6 years ago

Oh yeah, anyone who denies the power of virtually all herbaceous remedies may be seen as wrong in history. Now we are beginning to understand the "entourage effect" of the dozen or so active ingredients in a typical plant's therapeutic profile. Currently medical practice favors administration of a discrete, quantifiable, pharmacological agent as it acts in solo, and a direct dose-response therapy can be reliably administered by any doctor anywhere. That's a good thing, except we're ignoring the higher order balance among many factors. I like to make the analogy to a musical performance: In a solo, it is obvious who is playing what notes and the effect on the audience is a direct result of a single musician. In a chamber orchestral performance, all instruments are playing in the same key, enhancing one-another, and producing a musical performance more rich and comprehensive than the "solo violin" part. Likewise, this explains why herbal remedies seem to cure "anything & everything." They have a greater number of active principles, and often one offsets the side effect of another.
