It seems Natural News does use links to the data that make the claim from.

I would tend to agree mj does not cure anything, just like pharma's pain killers. Mj does do some wonderful things besides cancel pain, like relieve the symptoms of Parkinson's for example.

There are many natural cures, and one must ask, where does pharma get their chemicals if not from nature. Is there any medicines that cure you? Maybe, somewhere.

BTW, I got a license for mj a few years back, not to smoke it, because I wouldn't do that to my lungs, and I did eat a piece of a cookie and sorry I did that. But I bought it in a syringe to use on some skin lesions to see what happens. Nothing did, so I didn't renew my license this year.
