maybe we could get Dr Reuben to conduct the cannabis trials. 
.for mine history has already proven cannabis's worth

“Massive” Breach of Trust
Josephine Johnston, an attorney specializing in research integrity at the Hastings Center, in Garrison, N.Y., called the scope of the Reuben fraud “massive.”
“It’s usually just one article, not a body of work,” Ms. Johnston said.
What’s particularly surprising given the dimensions of the case, Ms. Johnston said, is that Dr. Reuben’s research managed to raise no alarms among peer reviewers.
However, she added, “the peer review system can only do so much. Trust is a major component of the academic world. It’s backed up by the implication that your reputation will be destroyed if you violate that trust.”
Dr. White, an editor of Anesthesia and Analgesia, said that given the retracted (and likely-to-be withdrawn) papers and those that are unsullied by the affair, practitioners of multimodal analgesia are now confronted with several significant problems.
Giving patients cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors such as celecoxib (Celebrex, Pfizer) after surgery has consistently been shown to relieve pain, reduce side effects related to use of opioids and improve the quality of recovery in the early and intermediate postoperative periods.
However, Dr. White said, any long-term benefit of these drugs on patient outcomes is unconfirmed.
Another question mark, he said, now looms over “preemptive analgesia” with COX-2 inhibitors and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, a component of multimodal therapy that Dr. Reuben strongly advocated. Similarly, doubt has been cast on the alleged lack of adverse effects of COX-2 inhibitors on bone fusion—such as at the spine—an effect Dr. Reuben’s data had supported (although this claim already had been an area of considerable controversy, Dr. White told Anesthesiology News).
And finally, he said, whether multimodal analgesia can prevent patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery from developing chronic pain, as Dr. Reuben had argued, remains “unproven.”
Two-Decade Career Crumbles
The scandal has left Springfield Anesthesia reeling and embittered. “We’re all very upset about how he strung us along,” said Steven Dunn, MD, a doctor in the 50-physician practice. “Our group paid him extra money and gave him nonclinical time. We all worked long hours in the OR so that he could do his research.”
Dr. Dunn said he was a co-author with Dr. Reuben of one study, but because he collected the data on that paper himself, the results have not been challenged.
However, he said, the nature of the fraud was surprisingly simple—and difficult to detect.
“You can see how easy it was to get away with,”
he said.
“If someone comes to you and says, ‘Here are data on seven patients,’ how do you say, ‘No, I didn’t see you treat those patients’? You assume that a physician would have the integrity not to lie in this way.”
This is an old thread......
Happy to see it resurface!......
