Kevin McKernan: "There's loads of literature out there on people reducing their opiate intake by replacing it with with cannabinoids. […] If you look at the studies that try to get people off of opiates, the cannabinoid is more effective than methadone. And they've already agreed to use methadone, which is another opiate, to try and get people off of opiates. Right? So they don't have a problem with drug replacement concept; they have a problem with which drug you're replacing it with. It's got to be one of theirs.

"There is a massive war on these types of drugs […] that are playing a really, really big role in in America's health. I just want them to be able to get a lot of those things out of the FDA's hands and legalized.

"We're seeing those compounds work in cancer. We're seeing them work in the opiate epidemic."
