"Mice treated with THC alone showed no improvement in glucose regulation, a key indicator of type 2 diabetes. Despite losing weight, these animals continued to exhibit impaired glucose homeostasis, a hallmark of diabetes.
In contrast, mice treated with the whole cannabis extract not only lost weight but also experienced a reversal of these metabolic impairments."
Nature made weed. Man made percocet. Who do you trust?
“Nature” also made opium/morphine, arsenic and ricin.
I’m a big fan of cannabis, but you cannot fall into the “natural means safe” trap.

Appeal to Nature fallacy. MAHA runs on this and a lot of thinking that leads to the alt-right, so good on calling this out.
I used to live in a very “crunchy” area with hippies and would catch weird speaking points occasionally, it picked up over the last few years and now they’re all MAHA or adjacent.
Its a play on an old joke. God made weed, man made beer. Who do you trust?

Fair enough, but the “it’s natural, so it has to be good,” or “it’s not natural, so it’s bad” is constantly being used
Also fair! 😁
