That is true and can be said about most medications. I have lived in both the US and Canada. I know the Canadian government is very strict on approving new drugs, as in new to the system. Since legalization across Canada you find fewer than expected reports of cannabis related issues. Of course with driving we see far more alcohol related charges than cannabis. And other then stupid people leaving edibles out for kids to get, very few medical issues. Of course everyone reacts differently. I fully expect mushrooms will be legalized here shortly with microdosing being popular. Psilocybe cubensis and others in this family is even safer health wise than cannabis. Did you watch Dopesick? Look it up, great depiction of oxi contin.

Been smoking cannabis for 50 years now with no adverse affects. Quit smoking tobacco 6 years ago and my lungs are fine now but I still smoke cannabis. You can not overdose with natural cannabis. It is not like hard drugs. We know the effects of tobacco on the body and the number of people it kills world wide but it is still legal. Same with alcohol. Sugar. Processed foods and so on.

And as a plant you can make everything from medicine, paper, rope, plastic, food, and many more things. And it grows quickly in all sorts of environments.

I was a musician for years (70s/80s/some 90s) giging mostly across Canada so long drives and lots of cannabis smoked. I would rather be with a driver who smoked pot then drank. No cannabis can not cure cancer but it does help ease the adverse symptoms of treatments for cancer. CBD basically fixed my loss of Cartlidge in my knees but it takes a long time to work. And even my dentist approves of me using it to reduce inflammation after dental visits. SO CBD and THC for a hangover works very well. There are many more compounds in cannabis that the medical/scientific community are finding. https://bluebirdbotanicals.com/blogs/understanding-cbd/meet-your-cannabionoids
