Please do not continue arguing...Lankika sithuwili,<br /><br />Please do not continue arguing, if you have not been professinally trained to analize scientific data without a bias. Those are called reviews and my article was not a review article. <br /><br />I just touched base on the Cannabis, on its medicinal value, mechanism of action and side effects. <br /><br />Also, for your questions, I just gave you the facts you requested. I was not reviewing pros and cons.<br /><br />To draw a conclusion, the same results should be obtained in all the studies, not contraversial. It is not the case with Cannabis.<br /><br />Your blog seems to be full of fraudalant news, which are based on various news sources. There are no critical scientific reviews. <br /><br />As with anything else, science also is challenged with various political and personnel agendas. So, people can quote anything they want and justify their theory. Also, some research studies are highly biased, full of flaws, even if they are published in high ranking journals. Everything is controlled by normal human beings so, it can get affected by all sorts of natural human behaviors.<br /><br />So, as a lay person, you are just jumping in to conclusions, without even knowing the depth. <br /><br />If you are not a scientist, you have to admit that you do not have the capacity to critically review a scientific article. We usually write a section for lay people in lay terms. Most of these news articles are lay articles, but all depends on the person who writes the lay article. Mostly, these are written for an agenda, so everything gets interpreted to justify the agenda. Just like your blog, you just keep criticizing science, very superficially based on some other laymans data, or your own interpretation. <br /><br />This is very unfortunate to publicize misleading informtion to the public.<br /><br />As with anything else, research also has its own flaws and people like you make it more complicated to the public.<br /><br />Please do not argue quoting articles from here and there, the readers can see that you are acting emotionally, not intelligentlly.<br /><br />The proper way is to write a review lay article, by crtically reviewing all the available scientific data. That needs unbiased professional training. All, acess to full text is limited. <br /><br />WW (පොකුරුවැහි)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10587623449695329723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176648103183096346.post-5846834162790438292018-08-10T05:09:22.698-04:002018-08-10T05:09:22.698-04:00Finally its good that you mention about the vaccin...Finally its good that you mention about the vaccine its one of my favorite topic <br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxr-cv-JuI8&t=1s <br />This is how massive vaccine Fraud has been committed by USA and how Congressman Bill Posy bring this in regarding https://lankasithuwili.blogspot.com/2015/12/2.html <br />Since you say about vaccine you might know Dr William Thompson and what he did <br />!!ලංකා සිතුවිලි!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05699820923137611670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176648103183096346.post-51016912709579933322018-08-10T04:59:06.020-04:002018-08-10T04:59:06.020-04:00//Also, my article was not a review article on Can...//Also, my article was not a review article on Cannabis.

Just quoting business articles or videos are not sufficient to make a conclusion on such a deep scientific matter such as Cannabis use. Even the scientific articles should be interpreted with extreme cautious, as some have neglected or exaggerated the actuals facts.<br /><br />After all, I wrote all this for the sake of the readers (even if it is few, at least someone will understand)<br /><br />Also, I do not want to argue on the scientific facts, you can interpret the data either from your emotions or from your brain. <br /><br />Most of the people in this world only believe, what they want to believe. They always ignore the actual facts and regret later, when it is time to face consequences. <br />WW (පොකුරුවැහි)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10587623449695329723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176648103183096346.post-12259832754082860092018-08-09T20:06:09.155-04:002018-08-09T20:06:09.155-04:00//she says //කංසා භාවිතා කරන්නන්ට සිද්ධියක ඇති දත්...//she says //කංසා භාවිතා කරන්නන්ට සිද්ධියක ඇති දත්ත විශ්ලේෂණය සහ සියුම් දත්ත මතක තබා ගැනීමේ හැකියාව අඩුය.// <br />in my article I did asked her a very simple question.<br />"හැබෑට මේ කරුණ තහවරු කරන එකම එක පිළිගත් පර්යේෂණයක තොරතුරු ඉදිරිපත් කරන්න පුලුවන්ද ?"<br />so kindly if she can show this from the reputed source as she explain that would be great.//<br /><br /><br />Here are few scientific articles (NOT NEWS ARTICLES OR YOUTUBE VIDEOS)<br /><br />https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6055797/<br /><br />https://www.psyn-journal.com/article/S0925-4927(18)30016-7/fulltext<br /><br />https://www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S0006-3223(18)31477-X/fulltext<br /><br />https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6034599/<br /><br />https://www.europeanneuropsychopharmacology.com/article/S0924-977X(18)30266-9/fulltext<br /><br />Some of them do not have full-text, because, you can not access these articles unless you are logged in from a subscribed scientific institution.<br /><br />If you need the full-text I may be able to get it for you.<br />WW (පොකුරුවැහි)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10587623449695329723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176648103183096346.post-24320255457977487962018-08-09T19:59:13.874-04:002018-08-09T19:59:13.874-04:00Regarding the prescribed drugs,
Yes, scientists d...Regarding the prescribed drugs,<br /><br />Yes, scientists do lots of research, before a drug comes to the commercial market. I already have a half-written article about this process, which I will publish soon.<br /><br />Drug or vaccine research starts with many preclinical research (with animals and in test tubes), which has to be conducted under highly controlled laboratory conditions. If we have promising results, then we have to prepare a big data package to present to the controlling authority of the country or the region. For example in US it is FDA. It is called New Investigations Drug enabling data package. This includes results from safety and toxicity studies in animals, and it is a heck of a work. If FDA approves your IND, then you can start clinical studies in humans, which usually has three to four phases, which will take years to complete, before commercialization. I have personally involved in Phase II vaccine trials, and the amount work and money goes in to those clinical trials are beyond your imagination. <br /><br />But very unfortunately, as unblessed people in third world countries, we always get unsafe drugs prescribed. I do not know the details, but pretty much we are the laboratory guinea pigs for the Asian drug developing companies, because they don't have strict regulations for testing pharmaceuticals. That is why these drugs have lot of side effects.

Also, my article was not a review article on Cannabis. Like, Thisara mentioned in his comment, it was meant to point out the importance of being vigilant. <br /><br />Addiction to foods, habits, behaviors, people and substances is a very natural for any living organism. Our country has such a small population, and there is a considerable population already addicted to smoking, drugs, alcohol and so on. So, if you want to justify legal Cannabis using in SL please go on, help to burden the country with useless generation of addicts. <br /><br />There is no conclusive scientific evidence to confirm the Cannabis is the gold standard medicine for all our health problems. Since it has a impact on the nervous system, it can be used to treat the pain. But, then it poses the question of addiction, similar to other pain relieving medication. They are called opioids, and people who has chronic pain are treated with opioids, eventually they get addicted to those meds. Currently, there is huge opioid crisis in U.S., even the babies born to opioid addicted moms are hyperactive, from their very first day. Doctors and nurses are having a hard time controlling those newborn babies, and it is a very painful situation. <br /><br />Here are some articles, if you need evidence. Some articles may not have full-text, if you need I will get it for you to read.<br /><br />http://www.mdpi.com/2305-6320/5/3/67<br /><br />https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29947796<br /><br />https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30074291<br /><br />Whatever you've cited here are mainly business articles, youtube videos and news articles. The purpose of these articles are mainly either commercial or personnel (for publicity). Behind these types of articles there may be political, business or personnel agendas. They only discuss the facts very superficially. But, if read the actual scientific articles, you will notice, people who quote these articles neglect important scientific facts. They simply check for what they want to see, without analyzing the data and conditions.<br /> <br /><br />For example, <br />https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320895.php, the news article that you cited to compare between Alcohol and Cannabis, clearly says it is not conclusive if you read it carefully. <br /><br />This is the Abstract of the original scientific article,<br /><br />https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/add.13923<br /><br />Please note what it says,<br /><br />"No associations were observed between structural measures and past 30‐day cannabis use in adults or adolescents"<br /><br />So, their research was only based on the Cannabis users for past 30 days, but not the chronic cannabis users. I can't access the full-text right now, but if you want, I will get it for you. <br /><br />This is a simple example of misinterpretation of scientific data by public. Even reading the abstract is not sufficient to draw a scientific conclusion. <br /><br />WW (පොකුරුවැහි)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10587623449695329723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176648103183096346.post-38135579072745465152018-08-09T12:56:39.799-04:002018-08-09T12:56:39.799-04:00තිසර, regarding this subject you will see so-calle...තිසර, regarding this subject you will see so-called "common sense" will end up in becoming "nonsense" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1dMfvp96e0 !!ලංකා සිතුවිලි!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05699820923137611670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176648103183096346.post-37486903069774448002018-08-09T12:50:22.643-04:002018-08-09T12:50:22.643-04:00Oh @PraJay, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzunPL...Oh @PraJay, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzunPLkYCWY listen to this from a reputed source!!ලංකා සිතුවිලි!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05699820923137611670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176648103183096346.post-4997933632778087472018-08-09T10:22:21.178-04:002018-08-09T10:22:21.178-04:00Take your time Madam, kindly start off by showing ...Take your time Madam, kindly start off by showing the scientific research information what lead to the prohibition of Cannabis !!ලංකා සිතුවිලි!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05699820923137611670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176648103183096346.post-55099969586097851472018-08-09T09:07:57.713-04:002018-08-09T09:07:57.713-04:00@Lanka sithuvili, :) will give you the answers, ti...@Lanka sithuvili, :) will give you the answers, till then please do not rush to make judgments. <br /><br />@PraJay I found few articles for Alcohol and Cannabis comparisons, it will give some idea.

Yes once you have few qualifications under your name, people tend to believe you more. But i don't think that's something we got from British. I think it's something to do with our politics from ancient times. Still today we are hoping for kings, we just want someone to rule us. But yes, apart from that tiny bit, I agree, we have to be very vigilant and mindful in today's world to separate truth from all false statements. I can say use common sense, but I guess it's not that common these days.තිසරhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17770690110218663215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7176648103183096346.post-30235898287369233552018-08-08T23:46:36.909-04:002018-08-08T23:46:36.909-04:00"They aren't answering because they are a..."They aren't answering because they are asking if multiple schedule II drugs are worse than schedule I.
