I've read that story a dozen times. There must be some template out there, you just have to find one of those miracle cures and interview the well meaning, eloquent and chatismatic serial killer who promotes his snake oil to desperate people.

But for heavens sake, don't ruin your hit piece with basic background checks.

I am guessing that, without reading it, you summarily dismissed it as identical to other sham stories and go off rant about them all as a collective, not realizing there is a ton of evidence to back up marijuana's role in fighting cancer. And then, of course, this being in the internet and all, you insult the intelligence of the poster. All because it doesn't fit in your world view.

Well done, indeed. You have demonstrated you are steeped deeply in the internet culture.

Fool.

I'am steeped deeply in having fucking cancer. This is the reason why I am a little invested in such discussions.

There are less than a handful of publications about cannabis as cancer treatment, all of them about preclinical research. That's not a ton of evidence. That's just an incredibly small step away from nothing. It does not, for fucks sake, justify advertising this stuff to people who can't think straight because they scared out of their minds.

Cute.
