IMO. I’ve done quite a bit of reading about it in medical journals, most of the research being outside the US. The range of medical benefits is vast, extending from cancer to dementia. And the risk profile is also de minimis, from everything I’ve seen, with the exception of youth/young adult use.

This first step will allow it to get into the hands of researchers so much easier, really excellent news.
