COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., May 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cannabis Science, Inc. (CBIS), a U.S. Company specializing in the development of cannabis based medicine is glad to see a new milestone has been reached with Dr. Oz announcing on The Larry King Live show that his view has changed about medical marijuana use.
During an interview on Monday, May 12th, 2014, celebrity doctor Dr. Mehmet Oz, spoke with Larry King about his new perspective on the use of marijuana, particularly medical marijuana use.
Dr. Oz explains, "I grew up like most of my generation believing that marijuana was something (_____) was throwing at Americans…but I think most of us have come around to believe that marijuana is hugely beneficial when used correctly for medicinal purposes." Because smoking produces a psychoactive effect, however, Dr. Oz does warn against repeated recreational use, "...we pervert its use sometimes and I don't think it should be widely used, certainly not by kids because it creates a dependence that is unhealthy in any setting. But it absolutely should be widely available in America (for medical use)."
