It's not total BS, and it's not the ultimate cure-all. Just like other drug/medicines, it only works for some things, and often only to help, not cure. Look at opiates, where there is great utility, but also tremendous incentive to use recreationally; in the late 1800's they thought the stuff cured e/t because everybody liked taking it. That 'worked great for a month but then stopped' is often the sign of a placebo response, which is why they do clinical trials, instead of just asking hairdressers. The reactionary and politically motivated forces that kept MJ on schedule 1 have cheated you all out of that medical research up until just recently, and it is still so difficult that little is being done here in the states. I certainly hear many reports of it helping people with PTSD (or more specifically, with certain symptoms of their PTSD), sleep disorders, chronic pain, seizures, MS or neuromuscular disorders, and some GI issues.
