Want to cut into the deficit? It's US data ... and just as valid here.

Prove it.

Prove what? I made three statements. Which one do you feel needs "proving".

BTW - I've dealt with you long enough to know that there is absolutely nothing I could say to you that you would accept as proof. Trying to convince you of anything is like trying to push a rope up a ladder.

How many people HAVE you swayed to your point of view by cajoling, browbeating and trollfoolery. Present serious facts and I'll look. Present your opinion as gospel and I'll put you in a league with JP and laugh at you.

Cannabis - top 10 most common myths

By: malterwitty

Tags: SCIENCE/HEALTH/CLIMATE/NATURE
Cannabis is probably the world’s most popular casual use drug that is illegal in most nations. It has become so widespread that many people wouldn’t think twice about asking to light up at a friend’s or to smoke in public places. It is an ancient drug that has been used throughout history for medical, magical, and pleasurable purposes. Thanks to the scare-tactics of propaganda in the 1960s and 1970s, there are many myths surrounding the drug - this list intends to put things straight once and for all.

There just might be a inflated demand, I am not opposed to jailing people who use or sell drugs. I am in favor of controlling marijuana usage, do not favor de-criminalization of marijuana.

One of the most common misunderstanding created by the War on Marijuana is that pot is a drug. It is not a drug, it is a medicinal herb that just happens to have the capacity to alter consciousness. That is not a bad thing. Judging by the responses of the opposed, a shift in consciousness would be a beneficial thing.:smile:

anyone know what happened to that dude from Nova Scotia who was cured from cancer by eating hash oil? Was that fake or true? All this talk about gettin stoned just reminded me of that lol

True many times over. 60ml over 90 days. Our endocannibinoid system responds and gets to work fixing problems. The most troubling side effect the squares are worried about is the big smile, that's the one they don't want you to have when you're trying to feel better.

Plus with hash or oil you don't get that 'what planet am I on' attitude.....from what I have heard, Officer. Under an ounce is still a walking ticket isn't it?

Ah self tritation is reccomended untill you arrive at a working substone doze. Effects are variety specific dose, good clean oil has a smooth taste and a quarter gram can slip down your throat beautifully but ninety minutes later you may need a long nap or you may not. You can avoid all of the negatives by breaking up your dayly dose in to smaller parcels this smooths out the peaks and provides seamless overlap. I have heard some very remarkable stories of cure and comfort.
I wonder if a mistake hasn't been made with respect to cannibis. Certainly viewed from the patients perspective it does seem that is so while viewed from the money side nothing could be farther from the truth and the substance will have to be studied for another ten thousand years, it may be addicting. Suits, get real, it's a near perfect supplement for humans, both the rope and the dope. When you do the dope you should at the same time do the rope for the constituants of cellular repair, apparently the seed and the cold pressed oil can be directed by the dope to rebuild your tired squeeking parts. A table spoon full of the hemp seed oil upon awkening is like a ten pound salmon everyday. Don't believe me, neither would I, try it chicken. What have you got to loose? Call your MLA and ask where you can get some.

There is no safe ammount legally I guess. Most police officers would be embarassed to bother with little bits and his CO would probably tazer the hero. But if it's a slow day or the testosterone is rageing you could certainly face the beak. I haven't been arrested lately and I don't follow the politics surrounding it anymore, I thought thirty years was long enough and thought common sence was sure to prevail many times, I was wrong as usual. I'm eager to read the study that will be done when the damage to the species and the planet have been assessed because of this collossal crime against humanity. Make no mistake it has been thee crime of the last and would be repeated in this century if left to the suits. It has and has always had great merit as medicne and fiber and oil and many other components, a natural and efficient treatment for a conservatively estimated fifty per cent of human ailments and anything else with an endocannibinoid system. 25 cents please

The fact is, you can make your own alcohol cheapr than you can buy it. Government sale and regulation of booze has not led to lower prices. The exact opposite has happened. Just accept that you are wrong and we can move on.

But not as good. It takes a long time. It's costly to start up. It's also hard work compared to the way many people make a living. So making 30 or 40 bucks for s nice single malt or a 24 for suds is simply more convenient than making your own.

That there are no government regulations over the quality of pot produced here, which is why it's so good. If it was legal then Budweiser would grow and sell Bud-lite pre-rolled joints in the stores.

Those who know the good stuff know that the same rules don't work with pot because the quality is in the seeds and all you have to do is water and fertilize it in a nice spot in the yard to have the best quality that any commercial grower could manage.

The active ingredient in marijuana appears to target cancerous brain cells for destruction while leaving healthy cells alone, according to a study conducted by researchers from the Complutense University in Madrid, and published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

It will be interesting to see how this works out. Still pretty early to drop the balloons though.

Cannabis may prevent osteoporosis

Researchers looking at the effects of cannabis on bones have found its impact varies dramatically with age.
The study found that while the drug may reduce bone strength in the young, it could protect against osteoporosis, a weakening of the bones, in later life.

Cool, we can have pot-smoking nanites fixing our glitches.

Potential apllications for nanorobotics in medicine include early diagnosis and targeted drug delivery for cancer[13][14][15], biomedical instrumentation[16], surgery[17][18], pharmacokinetics[19], monitoring of diabetes[20][21][22], and health care[23].
In such plans, future medical nanotechnology is expected to employ nanorobots injected into the patient to perform treatment on a cellular level. Such nanorobots intended for use in medicine should be non-replicating, as replication would needlessly increase device complexity, reduce reliability, and interfere with the medical mission. Instead, medical nanorobots are posited to be manufactured in hypothetical, carefully controlled nanofactories in which nanoscale machines would be solidly integrated into a supposed desktop-scale machine that would build macroscopic products.[citation needed]
The most detailed theoretical discussion of nanorobotics, including specific design issues such as sensing, power communication, navigation, manipulation, locomotion, and onboard computation, has been presented in the medical context of nanomedicine by Robert Freitas. Some of these discussions remain at the level of unbuildable generality and do not approach the level of detailed engineering.

Smoking Marijuana Does Not Cause Lung Cancer
'One in three Americans will be afflicted with cancer, we are told by the government (as if it’s our immutable fate and somehow acceptable). Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the U.S. and lung cancer the leading killer among cancers.
You’d think it would have been very big news in June 2005 when UCLA medical school professor Donald Tashkin reported that components of marijuana smoke -- although they damage cells in respiratory tissue -- somehow prevent them from becoming malignant. In other words, something in marijuana exerts an anti-cancer effect!'

lol Perhaps not, but it sure clogs up the billows. Pot has 14 times the tar as tobacco.
