This is your best attempt yet to cite a reputable source. Here are the problems with it though:Originally Posted by thecrazyone
1) The site is run by Dr. Jay Cavanaugh - who has not practiced since 1990.
2) He quotes Dr. Mikuriya, while a very educated doctor, died in 2007, and is obviously not practicing.
3) Dr. Mikuriya's book, where the list comes from, was citing O'Shaughnessy who introduced marijuana into the Western pharmacopoeia in 1839, the drug was promptly recommended for an utterly endless list of disorders - which is the list you have referenced.
The rationale for Dr. Mikuriya's book appears to be the editor's conviction that medicine should "rediscover" therapeutic uses of marijuana. In an attempt to buttress this thesis, he compiled 25 of the "better professional journal articles" from the past 133 years that pertain to various medicinal or scientific aspects of the drug. Most articles describe personal experiences, therapeutic applications with patients, acute clinical studies, or chemical and pharmacological endeavors.
I suggest that you find a list that the AMA current supports, not claims from non-practicing doctors. BTW - that doesn't exist.
