Wow! After 3000 years you'd think we'd therefore know everything about MJ that there is to know, it's exact chemical makup, what dose to take for period pains, what dose to take for MS, how to extract the pain killing component without having to take the stoning component...

Well now I think you have neatly underlined why there has been so little research into cannabis by the chemical industries and health bods-scepticism.The thought always intrudes that old well known remedies can't be good because they have been in use for years.It's the 'old wives tales' but newer chemicals are much better because so much money has been spent on the research,dismissal theory.
Also pain is so subjective.How can you judge that one person's pain is really worse for one than for another?I suspect some people just have the physiological ability to shrug off pain that would fell another.This makes investigation difficult.
