what if the entire medical system is based on the principle of revenue from treatment?

legalize recreational marijuana reducing cost of healthcare 30-45%

no idea

You can only vote on one answer.

a) would this result in the "creation" and spread of disease, malnutrition, or ailment?
AND
b) Should it instead be about a principle of cost/savings?

@jehova Ha ha ha you do realize you find a 'study' to support any point of view you want. Remember when 'studies showed' that tobacco was good for you? I do. The studies have since been discredited. Much like you marijuana studies will be discredited when marijuana induced illnesses become more and more frequent.

@jehova studies are not controlled experiments which is the problem.

The studies I read about do not state it has that effect. They state it has elements that must be extracted and used in more concentrated amounts in order to act as an effective antibacterial.

There isn't enough evidence for it to be prescribed as a principal drug. Most doctors will only recommend its use every two weeks and in combination with other medications.

I wouldn't recommend it at all until more experiments and trials are done. Ones that have no financial interests in the outcomes.

@Miram I agree more research is needed, but the extract of pure thc was applied in a suppressed study to often cure all forms of hepatitis. I can only conclude they are refusing to conduct the necessary studies because the current model is so profitable.

@jehova It doesn't cure all forms of hepatitis. : / It's used as an anti-inflammatory only. I ll appreciate a link if I am wrong.

@Miram it was deleted "removed" within 10 minutes of having been posted thus it will never be found again, but in a citizen scientist experiment it was found that direct contact of thc on all forms of hepetitis infected cells killed those cells instantly. This was applied in getting thc to 80% thc for five straight days. It was found to be 98.2% effect on all forms of hepetitis. I read it within that 10 minutes of it being posted 7 of 9 of the researchers involved were dead within two weeks. You tell me is it that profitable?
