In reply to the discussion: Weed is woo too [View all]Lancero
(3,003 posts)So it's not entirely accurate.
A more accurate defenition would be "Passing off a treatment as safe, or superior to others, despite evidence showing it is non-effective or harmful"
Most of the woo topics seem to be running on diffrient definitions anyway. But most generally speak against passing off harmful, all-natural, treatments as better for certian conditions then what medical science would provide. aka, using herbal remedies to treat cancer patients.
Your comment about that one study though points out what most people are forgetting about medical studies - Sometimes, a study is completely full of shit. Play the numbers right, and you can have a study saying whatever you want it to say.
I'm not going to look through all 15k studies though. I'll look through down to 20, just for a larger number, but that 80% of the studies I looked at stated weed to be - at least - moderately harmful then it's kind of hard to say that weed is a good thing, at least from a medical perspective.
