Why Is Funded Research on Cannabis Intentionally Negative?

The medical community is scared to show the efficacy of cannabis because it has been historically stigmatized and demonized. For decades, cannabis has been wrongly labeled a dangerous drug without any potential for medical benefit. This is despite the fact that numerous studies around the world have demonstrated the various medical properties of cannabis. So why is the medical community still refusing to accept the reality that cannabis is both an effective and safe medicine?

To answer this, we must first look at the history of the cannabis coverup. The cannabis coverup dates back to the 1930s and 40s, when Harry J. Anslinger was appointed the first commissioner of the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. He was determined to demonize and outlaw marijuana, despite the fact that it had been used safely and beneficially for centuries. In order to do so, Anslinger launched a comprehensive campaign of fearmongering and misinformation, painting marijuana as a dangerous, mind-altering drug.

This campaign was so successful that marijuana remained illegal for the better part of the next century. During this time, the medical community was largely in the dark about the potential medical benefits of cannabis. This is because those benefits were actively suppressed by politicians and the media, in an effort to maintain marijuana’s negative image.

The history of the cannabis coverup is a long and complicated one that can be traced back to 1937, when the federal government passed the Marihuana Tax Act, which effectively made the possession and sale of cannabis illegal in the United States. This act was quickly followed by the passage of the Controlled Substances Act in 1970, which further criminalized the possession and sale of cannabis in the United States. Since then, there has been a concerted effort to prevent any research on the potential medicinal benefits of cannabis, and those who attempt to conduct such research are often met with opposition from both the government and the medical community.

Fortunately, times have begun to change. In recent years, more and more scientific evidence has been accumulated showing the medical potential of cannabis. Studies have demonstrated that cannabis can be used to treat a range of medical conditions, such as chronic pain, anxiety, and even certain forms of cancer. Despite this, the medical community is still refusing to accept cannabis as an option for medical treatment.

This could be due to the fact that much of the research on cannabis is still funded by the government. This means that a great deal of the research conducted on cannabis may be skewed in order to maintain the government’s negative stance on the drug. This could explain why so many studies still have a negative bias when it comes to the potential medical benefits of cannabis.

The federal government’s stance on cannabis has also had a direct impact on the ability of the medical community to conduct research on the substance. This is due to the fact that the federal government has not yet passed the SAFE Banking Act, which would allow banks to provide services to marijuana-related businesses without fear of repercussion. Without access to banking services, the medical community is unable to receive the necessary funding to conduct research on cannabis. This has put a major roadblock in the way of the medical community, forcing them to rely on limited funding sources and leaving them with no choice but to conduct negative research on the substance.

The bottom line is that the medical community needs to open its eyes to the potential benefits of cannabis. For too long, the medical community has been ignoring the scientific evidence regarding the efficacy of medical marijuana. It is time to recognize the truth, and to accept cannabis as a viable treatment option. Only then can we truly understand the full potential of this remarkable plant.

The Cannabis Solution

The only way to put an end to the misinformation about cannabis and to finally allow the public to learn the truth is to support the Safe Banking Act (updated to SAFER banking Act 2023) legislation. This legislation would make it easier for cannabis businesses to operate, thus allowing more quality research into the potential medicinal benefits of cannabis.

This legislation also has the potential to open the door to more efficient and efficacious cannabis research. This could finally allow the medical community to openly discuss the potential benefits of cannabis, and the general public would finally be able to learn the truth about the medicinal benefits of cannabis.
