What a terribly written article (grammar errors aside):
Quote:
A desperate father whose son was suffering from a life-threatening brain tumour has revealed he gave him cannabis oil to ease his pain. And he has now apparently made a full recovery.
Misleading first line... off to a great start. Pops gave him cannabis and now he's all better!

The true angle the article should have focused is finally highlighted after 12 paragraphs of misdirection:
Quote:
He credits the cannabis oil with helping his son get through the chemo, and say Cash has now been declared cancer free by doctors.
^That's an important comma right there, separating two DISTINCT facts. One is not related to the other as the first paragraph implies.

Nice spin doctoring, though. You ever notice the harder someone tries to sell you something, the less appealing it becomes?
