I am also under no illusion about it curing or altering the course of my disease.
I believe cannabis has a very real place in main stream medicine, but I am so bloody sick of charlatans preying on the vulnerable that I want to see this done properly. Your approach, in my opinion, is the correct one from the view that respectable and responsible advocates sometimes need to stick their heads above the parapets to draw attention to important issues.
So, yes, I will go in to bat about this if I feel it is being presented in a way that sits well with my own philosophy about science and evidence.
