I don't have time to really explain my complaint because I have a conference call in a minute, but argh!

Sheesh. I'm editing an editorial about marijuana use in glaucoma, and it states rather emphatically that there is weak evidence for marijuana's therapeutic effect in any medical condition.
Am I the only one who remembers that within the last year we published an article about the massive decrease in deaths from opioid overdose in states with legal medical marijuana??? We're going to look like asses. I guess I should mention this to my boss when I return the editorial.

And customer canceled calling in. Which is mildly aggravating, but he has a good reason, at least, and that actually gives me time to deal with my other fires...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't think those statements are in opposition? If it keeps people off opiods, but still doesn't actually do much for any underlying conditions?

Transit shenanigans. Now waiting on taxi, first driver cancelled. It shouldn't be this difficult to go downtown.

In a taxi! Hopefully I will make my visa appointment.

I'd have to pull up the article to be positive, but I believe it discussed the fact that using marijuana kept people off of opioids (or allowed them to reduce the dose) because the marijuana helped with pain control.
Well, shit. I'm so stubborn that now I'm going to pull up the article.

Is pain control a therapeutic effect? I'm seriously asking.

Okay, I pulled up the article, and apparently marijuana affects the opioid receptors in the brain. Not to the same degree as actual opioids, but enough that it does have an effect on pain.
I'm also wondering if the claim that pot doesn't have proven therapeutic effects is due to the lack of controlled studies. I don't know if that's true, though.
