So does oxycontin, oxycodone, hydrocodone. Not only do they affect the brain negatively but the liver and kidney as well. Do you not consider these FDA approved medications medicine? Your logic as to what is and what isn't medicine astounds me. When it is shown that canabanoids found ONLY in cannabis have the ability to shrink brain tumors but the fact that it also gives the user a sense of euphoria, or as you would say "effects your brain negatively", causes it not to be considered medicine? All due respect missblue, you're logic makes no sense.
