Default A video I have questions about

Ok, I saw this a while ago. Video Link

You may be familiar with it. What I'm wondering about is, how much validity we can place on what the younger lady is saying in the car ride while she's medicating. Specifically,

"When cannabis is mixed with polyunsaturated fats, your body breaks that down as myelin.... so if your body can assimilate marijuana as myelin mixed with polyunsaturated fats.. but there's no other substance known to mankind that your body can assimilate as myelin, why don't they legalize it? It's the one thing that can rebuild what the MS has taken away".

I wonder where she is getting this information from, and how much validity there is to these types of statements. I do know that many have stated that marijuana has had such a positive effect on their disease and the symptoms of their disease.

I found it interesting in any event as a watch, and I am all for those in chronic pain having access to what does work for them as far as relieving their pain or spascisity that comes with MS.
