Trump-Endorsed Dr. Oz On Medical Marijuana And Pain: Give It A Try
The celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz, who made fun of Democrat John Fetterman during Pennsylvania's pivotal race for U.S. Senate in 2022 for having a stroke and had openly criticized his stance on cannabis legalization, seems to be taking a U-turn on the plant, yet again. Asked about whether smoking pot and using edibles to get a buzz is raising the risk of health hazards, Dr. Oz, who was previously endorsed by Donald Trump, said that's a field that needs more research. He did add that "smoking anything creates damaging inflammation throughout your body." "As for the medical use of cannabis' active ingredients THC and CBD, that's an evolving field with limited research," Dr. Oz and his colleague Michael Roizen, M.D., is chief wellness officer and chair of the Wellness Institute of the Cleveland Clinic, said, reported NJ.com.
