This Is what happens When A Little Girl Gives Marijuana A Try...

61. It's woo if the cannabis is healing seizures via supernatural means

Like repairing her damaged link to the underlying consciousness of the universe. Or by opening up the doors to her True Self. Or by being a "natural" drug put here by God or the creator-spirits, etc.

Something like this is not woo if it can be scientifically evaluated and it has not yet been scientifically evaluated. It should go without saying that if it has been scientifically evaluated and determined to be effective then the treatment is not woo.

You might ask, "If it works then what's the difference?" The difference is that with the woo explanation pot could be used to cure literally anything. You could use it to cure pneumonia. With the scientific explanation, you could use other scientific knowledge about seizures or pot's effect on the body's chemistry to find (and test) other illnesses that can be treated with pot.

Finally, this story is not actually proof that this treatment works. Random chance, confounding variables, or reporting bias are all important considerations in any one testimonial. These are the same reasons we identify "I got rich because I'm awesome" as nonsense. Scientific inquiry is designed to minimize these factors.
