        Cannabis has been found to be ineffective for most of the conditions it’s prescribed for.

        No, it hasn’t.

        Cannabis has been proven to be a very effective treatment for nausea and seizures and more (as your source clearly indicates immediately).

        Reading is hard ¯\(ツ)/¯

        Also, studies were quite impossible until recently (with the relaxation of The Drug War). We’re still learning about the efficacy.

        Regardless, cannabis has been an effective treatment for many medical issues for centuries for a reason, as we are still discovering, as your source clearly indicates.

        Ain’t cannabis, which is exactly my point since the classification of “narcotic” is too arbitrary to justify the sentence of death, but thanks for the pop medsci slop.

          As far as I know, all other narcotics prescribed in the US are allowed in Singapore with an HSA approval, which is exactly my point.

            I’m not in the US, and I know for an absolute fact that mine isnt. Even if that were all true, guess what, that permit would not qualify me to move there with my medication as it is not permanent. Even if that wasn’t the fucking case, then I would still not want to risk a lapse in renewing my permit or filing it improperly and losing access to my medication or worse.

            You do not know enough about this topic to be so dedicated to pushing misinformation. Fuckin internet dudes die on hills they don’t even care about enough to look up shit, why?

              Take a chill pill. I did look up the HSA application for medicines. Cannabis and chewing gums were specifically banned, but nothing else was called out.

                You embarrassed yourself online because you have a weird offense to even the notion that weed can be used for medicinal purposes. So much so that you didn’t just smugly say shit that is demonstrably false, but even refused to admit you didn’t research well enough or consider what a person who actually has to check these things would need to look out for in this sort of bureaucratic control.

                Clownish. Won’t be reading whatever you send next.

                  If anything, I take offense to people being given bad medical advice. If you were prescribed cannabis, you would be among them.

                  What have I said that is demonstrably false? Please demonstrate. I’m all ears. What should I have researched instead of the HSA website?

                  Chill.

                    YOU’RE not embarrassed, of course. We are embarrassed for you.

                    You don’t know enough to be embarrassed.

                    I take offense at your ignorance, things are tough all over.
