That line "When fully researched" changes things significantly and makes the complete quote suddenly plausible. And the through 1976 limit helps, too, because 30 years ago, we didn't have nearly the amount of drugs we have now. So potential replacement of 10 - 20% of the significantly smaller number of drugs in 1976 might have been accurate.

That's why I doubted the quote the way Beachguy originally worded it because there are now literally millions of medicines. And no one's yet exhaustively researched all the potential benefits of MJ. That's why it didn't make sense.

I'm going to go look up Dr. Raphael Mechoulam and try and write him about this if I can. I think I may be interested in doing/contributing to medical MJ research when I get further into my medical training. Does anyone know anything about him? Whether he's a researcher or publisher of other studies?

Thanks for finding the quote and making it make sense, P4B!
