Copying and pasting the wikipedia article about cannabinoids was a weird thing to do. You understood the topic of the thread before pasting, right?
Sorry I just get bugged when there are already a plethora of threads at IC where that article is pasted, as if someone's done some serious research by pasting it, and I've read it too many times.
The early cannabis meds have their place, but I agree with you that whole plant extracts are going to be important. The full cannabinoid profile along with terpenes adds a balance to the drug that some patients miss with the THC or THC:CBD only meds. I know of some folks who are working on whole plant formulations and currently doing clinical trials with MMJ patients. I don't know where you live, but if you're an MMJ patient you should already be seeing some options along these lines. If not, you still might need to wait a few years for the med form, but they're coming.

What I am promoting is that PURE CANNABIS EXTRACTS including all the terps, the cannabinoids, and the THC, and see how effective that medication would be. Because sorry but Sativex's THC and CBD only doesn't cut it, I know from expeirence, it's not good enough to treat people effectively, because it's missing all the LITTLE things that people don't look at.
