• Resumen

  • Wilson comments on how vendors must stop acting like street-corner dealers and grow up, as cannabis becomes increasingly legalised. Cannabis can make scars disappear, reverse Alzheimer's disease and even cure cancer based on the health claims made by US firms in states where medical marijuana has been legalised. Part of the problem is that in the US, medical cannabis is in a legal limbo, although it is approved at state level, it is banned under federal law, and so the FDA cannot regulate cannabis-based products as it does pharmaceuticals and other remedies.
