The real bullshit of 'herbal medicine' is the kind sold by snake-oil salesmen to gullible shitheads who are told their child doesn't need antibiotics for that pneumonia don't you know that's just big pharma trying to steal your money no no here just buy this tiny jar of powdered lavender root for a fuckload more than it's worth and have her huff a steam-bath with this poo poo three times a day. That kind of nonsense is dangerous. Cannabis is just good medicine for a lot of people. Don't hate on poo poo that works.

There's also the fact that the FDA imposes no regulation whatsoever over herbal remedies. Even if a particular herb has been scientifically proven to work, it's not much good if you have no way of knowing how much of its active chemical you're actually getting (if any).
