It's not the cure-all you think it is, regardless of the douchebags in charge.

Really? Have you had extensive, first-hand experience with Rick Simpson oil? Are you prepared to tell me there's zero medicinal benefits to it?

Listen, there's just not going to be scientific proof behind a mostly illegal substance with legions of powerful people incentivized to stop it from growing in popularity. Feel free to evaluate the video testimonials though: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwBs_ihArc1lCYDym-DH4...

Bitcoin shares many similarities with hemp oil, you can always tell the armchair opinions from the guys who actually use it.

I'm saying that there aren't cancer cure-all properties, which is not "zero medicinal benefits". I think medical marijuana has objective benefits. "Big pharm"/"Big cancer" conspiracy theories and the DEA's influence are irrelevant.
I never said "cure-all"... I never even mentioned cancer nor did the people in the video.
