VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug. 4, 2016) - Phocomelia (limb malformation) has been shown in testing* of THC marijuana in a similar preclinical model to that which revealed the teratogenicity of thalidomide.

The federal government is aware of serious marijuana harms; it must not be complicit in risking Canadian health, but must mitigate by placing marijuana products under a protective protocol similar to REVAID used for Thalidomide.

As the stewards of the country's human and financial resources, it is critical that government protect the public from potential irreversible harm and itself from litigation. Marijuana harm is not only possible but probable.

Only a complete moron would compare thalidomide to cannabis

And I mean that in the nicest way possible.

Thalidomide was synthesized in 1954. It was introduced as a prescription drug on April Fools’ Day 1961.

By March 1962 it was withdrawn from Canadian markets due to its dangerous side effects.

Far from providing a “safe, sound sleep,” and a way to combat morning sickness, it killed and disabled thousands of infants.

Victims of the drug never saw justice. Families settled out of court with gag orders. It wasn’t until the 1980s that awareness of this disaster became well-known.

Cannabis, of course, has been used for centuries without these kind of serious effects.

Even with high THC levels, it’s the same plant, there are no toxic overdoses.

Cannabis is not synthesized in a laboratory. When it comes to its perceived dangers, even if we give the prohibitionists the benefit of the doubt, it pales in comparison to legal drugs like alcohol and tobacco.

Hence, only an idiot, a bonafide dunce, would compare thalidomide to cannabis.

Not surprisingly, Pamela McColl of SAM Canada fits the bill.

Her organization, the Marijuana Victims’ Association, has released a press alert that asks whether cannabis is the new thalidomide.

Citing a debunked study that links cannabis to limb malformation, McColl calls on the federal government to restrict cannabis to a controlled pharmaceutical distribution system.

The study, “Chromothripsis and epigenomics complete causality criteria for cannabis- and addiction-connected carcinogenicity, congenital toxicity and heritable genotoxicity,” did no actual tests. 

Instead, they cited other studies to “close the logical loop” that cannabis causes genetic damage that connoisseurs pass onto their kids.

Of course, as anyone familiar with logic can demonstrate, any conclusion can be validly derived from contradictory premises.

And what are these premises? As Ethan Russo, founding editor of the Journal of Cannabis Therapeutics points out, the paper McColl cites assumes that cannabis is mutagenic, teratogenic and carcinogenic.

Of course, actual human and animal studies don’t support these assumptions.

And to make matter worse, the paper doesn’t bother controlling for other factors, like cigarettes which are carcinogenic.

Birth defects aren't overdoses.

Are you high?

What a poor loser you are.

You post an article making the ludicrous claim that marijuana is as dangerous as thalidomide and linking to a study that has been debunked, one that did no actual tests.  and you call me a loser?

Project much asshole?

marijuana is as dangerous as thalidomide

Did thalidomide cause fatal vehicle crashes?
