I suppose I should really write a long and detailed post
around the subject of the man who owns the health food shop and waxes eloquent
about the great panacea that is cannabis oil. I should make reference to the
conflict between ready anecdotal evidence and cumbersome clinical trial,
particularly noting that anecdotal evidence sees only the presumed successes
while ignoring the apparent failures. I might mention that men who own health
food shops need to sell their wares in order keep their businesses, and then
admit that pharmaceutical companies do the same thing but on a bigger scale.
Maybe I should consider the theory that nature provides a cure for every ill it
sees fit to confer on us. And no doubt I would have to admit that the man who
owns the health food shop might be right even though the evidence he presents
isn’t actually proof. And then I might explain why I still laid out £39 for a
tiny bottle of his stock-in-trade in spite of my scepticism.
Frankly, I can’t be bothered. The purple haze is clouding my
view and my judgement. And besides, there is another issue about which I’m
finding it difficult to decide whether I’m right or not. I expect it will all
become clear eventually assuming the dark rider and his ebony steed keep their
distance long enough. And if they don’t, it won’t matter.
