I'm going to run with a little cynicism.

I live somewhere where cannabis is not legal. There's pressure, sure, but there's resistance too.

One of the factors that helped it legalized in western countries like Canada and the US is the notion of health. Pain relief. Treatment for some chronic illnesses.

That's cool. But imagine a pharmaceutical company isolates those health things.

No need to legalized cannabis anymore.

This stuff supports the anti-lefalisation movement by taking the benefits from it.

Damned if we want to use if recreationally.
