While the system in place here runs smoothly enough, it worries me that it's open to abuse. But more than that, it's an experiment that is being stretched beyond any available evidence.
盡管這里的制度運作良好,但我還是擔(dān)心這會為濫用大開方便之門,更讓我擔(dān)心的是,這是一個沒有可靠證據(jù)支持的公眾實驗。
I don't really have a problem buying into the view of cannabis as being connected to treating pain, that, you know, that seems to be pretty clear.
我認為使用大麻來治療疼痛的觀點并不難理解,這看起來很清楚。
Whether we can make a much greater leap of faith towards buying into the treatment of common mental disorders such as anxiety and depression with cannabis is a bigger order and I'm still pretty sceptical about that.
但我們是否能信任大麻,并把它用于一般精神問題如焦慮或抑郁的治療呢?這是一個更大的問題,而我對此表示懷疑。
To add to the uncertainty, although medical cannabis is approved by California state law, it's still illegal under federal law,
不確定的是,盡管加州政府已經(jīng)通過了醫(yī)用大麻的法案,聯(lián)邦法律并未承認它的合法性。
So even here where residents have voted for medical cannabis, the relationship is still a confused one.
所以盡管這里的人們投票通過了醫(yī)用大麻,它的合法性還是模糊不清的。
It's a surprising situation for a plant that's been with us so long.
對于這個陪伴了人類這么長時間的植物來說,這種處境非常的尷尬。
Other plant-based drugs with medical uses, such as aspirin, cocaine and heroin, have all been exploited for their full benefits.
其他從植物提煉的藥品如阿司匹林,可卡因和海洛因的效用都被充分地了解。
But cannabis lags behind.
但大麻卻遠遠落在后面。
In fact, only now is the world's first legal medicine based on the cannabis plant being produced, deep in the English countryside.
事實上,直到最近,世界上第一個提煉自大麻的藥物正在英國的鄉(xiāng)間制造。
I'm going there for a rare glimpse.
我現(xiàn)在就去那里看一下。
Even though it's all done completely legally, with the permission of the Home Office, the security arrangements means the exact location has to remain a secret.
盡管這是完全合法的,得到了內(nèi)政部的批準(zhǔn),由于保密條例的要求。
And that means we're gonna have to turn the camera off.
我們要把攝影機先關(guān)了。
Come on through, John.
進來吧,約翰。
Thank you.
謝謝,
So this is it?
就是這里了嗎?
This is it, you can see here, one of our growing areas.
的,你現(xiàn)在看到的是我們其中一個種植場。
And a fairly wide selection of plants.
是有很多不同的品種。
Come on in, have a look.
進來看一下。
Thank you. Gosh, there's loads of it!
謝謝。天啊,真是不少!
