    Yeah, they are pretty obviously not talking about ME/CFS (I have literally never heard of pot as a trigger, anybody else?) but follow the line of thought where chronic fatigue that persists is probably to be graduated to a 'syndrome'. Which highlights how annoying the rebranding experience from ME to CFS is to everyone involved. Clear thinking leads to clear language, they say.

    Do we seriously need to add "well-known" and "include" to the list of words that have been stripped of all meaning?

    Kinda have to laugh about cannabis being more readily available. Yes, it totally was not readily available before very recently. Totally new thing.

    The amount of people making stuff up in medical literature is too damn high.

    Stopped there. Any argument that starts from such a ludicrous premise, is manifestly unsafe.

    Have they simply fallen into the habit that science and pseudoscience seems to have of dressing normal stuff up by giving it an impressive sounding “sciency” name rather than using straightforward English. What they really mean is using cannabis makes people sleepy and hungry. But that’s not rocket science is it.
