there is no such thing as medical marijuana

Guys, whoever came up with "medical" marijuana was a dumb dumb. All marijuana is is just some street drug that dopes do to get high- nothing else- just a dumb street drug that ruins the country. So say no to the dope- and be a man who does not poison his self with drugs and toxins.

 

Cannabis and Longevity
by Chris Bennett - Wednesday, October 21 2009

One of the things I’ve found with working in extensive research projects, as I have over the years with three books and various articles, is that right up until publication I always seem to find new bits of information, as with this recent find I somehow missed regarding the record-holder for world’s oldest woman.

In 1939 Joges Candra Ray, an Indian researcher who wrote a paper identifying the ancient Vedic Soma as cannabis, pointed too ancient references regarding longevity from Soma’s ingestion. and other researchers have commented on this and a connection to cannabis as well:

From CANNABIS AND THE SOMA SOLUTION
(Trineday, 2010)

In the article Beliefs about Aging and Longevity in Ancient China, Alain Corcos notes: "The sacred intoxicating drink, named haoma by the Iranians and Soma by the Aryans in India was believed to cure disease and to confer immortality. Hemp was an active ingredient of both drinks" (Corcos, 1981). Interestingly, the Anandakanda (Root of Bliss) a considerable text of 6900 verses on tantric alchemy and yoga, which is thought to have originated around the 12th or 13th century AD, has similar references to cannabis and these are believed to have been based on the descriptions of Soma.

[T]he Anandakanda describes rejuvenation treatment based on cannabis. This involves treatment over a long period in a specially constructed hut (kut.i). This procedure is strongly reminiscent of a similar rejuvenation procedure described in the earliest Sanskrit medical literature, one that requires not cannabis but the unknown plant Soma. And that procedure itself echoes a rite of ritual rebirth that dates from the mid-first millennium BC. (Wujastyk, 2001)

Here ancient wisdom and modern science may concur. In a recent news story "Expert Testifies Cannabis Helps Slow Aging", Dr. Robert Melamede, a University of Colorado at Colorado Springs biology professor, and former head of the UCCS biology department stated that:

You can look at the harm caused by free radicals as biological friction or biological rust and the endocannabinoid1 system minimizes the impact of that and directly acts as an antioxidant as well as modifying the biochemistry in a way that minimizes the impacts," said Melamede outside court Thursday, likening endocannabinoids to humans like oil is to cars. He said if you don’t have lubrication in your car, your car breaks. In the human body, the damage comes in the form of age-related diseases.

"I’m saying what science has now shown is that marijuana and cannabinoids are effective anti-aging agents which means that they are effective in minimizing the onset and the severity of age-related illnesses which include cognitive dysfunction things like Alzheimers, cardiovascular disease, be it heart attacks, strokes, or clogged arteries," he said. (Newham, 2008)

In reference to this, it is worth noting that the world’s oldest woman was a copious cannabis smoker, and attributed her great age to her use of the herb:

I'M 120 BUT MY JOINTS ARE OK

A GREAT-great granny reveals how she has lived to be 120 ... by smoking CANNABIS every day.

Fulla Nayak - believed to be the world’s oldest woman - puffs "ganja" cigars and drinks strong palm wine in her cow-dung hut in India.

She lives with her 92-year-old daughter and grandson, 72, by the Indian Ocean.

California -- Just in from Stockton, Mary parks her car and enters the downtown Oakland coffeehouse — but she hasn't come all this way for a cup of joe.Instead, she peruses a menu of dozens of strains and preparations of marijuana, all grown in California, all taxed, all legal. Producing a wad of cash and proof of her age — but no doctor's note — for a fragrant ounce of "purple kush," she departs a satisfied customer, perhaps grabbing a snack at a nearby restaurant before hitting the highway.

 

Cannabis Religious Challenge Update

"In a republic like ours, people often think that the proper response to an unjust law is to try to use the political process to change the law, but to obey and respect the law until it is changed. But if the law is itself clearly unjust, and the lawmaking process is not designed to quickly obliterate such unjust laws, then the law deserves no respect — break the law."
- Henry David Thoreau

Fact-checking Drug Czar Barry McCaffrey by Tim Lynch

I appeared on the CNN program Lou Dobbs Tonight last Thursday (Oct. 22) to discuss the medical marijuana issue and the drug war in general. There were two other guests: Peter Moskos from John Jay College and the organization Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) and Barry McCaffrey, retired General of the U.S. Army and former “Drug Czar” under President Bill Clinton.

I was really astonished by the doubletalk coming from McCaffrey. Watch the clip below and then I’ll explain two of the worst examples so you can come to your own conclusions about this guy.

Civil disobedience the proper way to end prohibition
VIDEO: Oct 27 2009
Over the last few days in Keene, New Hampshire as many as 150 individuals have been smoking marijuana in public. They have dubbed the effort the “4:20 Smoke Club” and have yet to be brutalized by the out-manned local police force.

This is who we're up against?

CADFLY’s

You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.

Alcohol, unlike marijuana or any other illegal drug, has a long, wide-spread history of use in Western culture, dating back to the Old Testament and Ancient Rome.

… and you, the sheep obedient to bad laws, based on lies, are cowards and traitors, and no amount of flag jerking is gonna change that. The drug worrier ticks and leeches will pay their dues in the History books. After the Drug War Crimes Tribunal. Same as your ancestors paid. The ones that didn’t escape to spawn selfish liars sucking the tax teat dry. Your grand children will learn of how you caged sick people, How your lies and greed terrorized innocents and depleted valuable resources from the tax payers.

Vile degenerate lapdogs doing the bidding of the corporations, mass retardation thinking these International G-20 Ganjawar sponsors and lobbies, will trickle down anything but a pat on the head, maybe a campaign contribution. Canadian Pussies licking the boots of American Fascists stealing your own citizens, without a whimper. Same as you did under Klintoon and Boosh. DEAth Mongers selling a war that can’t be won or lost without losing the profit, the reason for the war in the first place. Scum.

Your tin badges only cover the hole where your heart once lived. Pitifuckingfools. Bowing down to the Queens dollar keeping out Ganja, much safer for the environment. No infrastructure tanks and vats, distilleries with miles of steel, fossil fools and plastic. Trucks and roads to haul it to more strip mined ore in the warehouses. Off to refrigerated distributors, more wasted fossil fools. Just to get to some redneck forgetting about his bossman’s yells. Or a plant in the kitchen, mellows out the stress, not inebriation.

USA! Qaeda Drug Worriers collateral damage on kids suckered into snitching on their siblings. So gung ho these wannabe soldiers, cops with swat toys caging the parents. Confiscate the furniture, toys and car and sell the deed for the house. Another proud DARE graduate. Propaganda from the Media and Church, always siding with the despots. Low life spoiled sons of Emily.

True Conservatives Serve the Constituents,
they are not Neo-conjob lapdogs for WTO thugs.
True Patriots have the balls to protest bad laws.
Bully’s with money picking on the oppressed are still cowards.
Obedient cowards, afraid of their own thoughts. Appeasers.
ConPromising on the Laws of Physics,
their lies serving means to ends again.

Nutrition and Wasting by Brenda Lein
In addition to adjusting eating habits and diet, some people find they need appetite stimulants in order to maintain weight and good nutrition. Many people believe that marijuana may be useful to stimulate appetite and calm the stomach. Smoking marijuana can be hard on the lungs so some people prefer baking it into brownies or truffles.



Thalidomide v Cannabis

Thalidomide: New Results

In January, a thalidomide developer, Celgene, of Warren, New Jersey, announced that the data from its trial in 99 people with AIDS wasting showed a statistically significant weight gain. The company seems to have "jumped the gun," as one person close to the trial put it. No data were yet available from the trial to justify Celgene's press release.

Drug company rebuked for marketing thalidomide as cancer fighter

In 1957, the drug thalidomide was approved for use in Europe as a treatment for morning sickness caused by pregnancy. Thousands of women took the pills, assured by the drug maker that they were safe.

Unfortunately, the drugs had primarily been tested as a sleep aid for elderly patients -- not on pregnant women. By the time its tragic side effects were known, it was too late to help the than 12,000 babies born with severe birth defects.

Today, it is known that even one capsule of thalidomide can cause devastating defects, including the development of flipper-like limbs.

Yet, the Celgene Corporation has promoted the pill as a cancer treatment, despite warnings from the FDA.

I want to bake the op some brownies with high doses of a strong laxative. When he cannot stay out of the bathroom for a few hours, I will say 'Gee, sorry, I thought medicine only had recreational value'

You can't fight science, but a lot of people sure try.

I sure like cannabis. Science says the cannabinoids are neuroprotectant, making it a 'drug' that is good for your brain cells. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Stop The Medical Marijuana Madness By Robert J. Corry Jr.

Today, not much about Colorado's economy moves. The state is broke and releases prisoners because it cannot afford to keep them. The governor slashes the higher education budget 40 percent. People lose jobs, homes and financial security. Our leaders face serious issues. And what keeps some politicians up at night? That sneaking suspicion that some suffering cancer patient may gain limited pain relief through medical marijuana, coupled with that gnawing certainty that someone, somewhere, actually grew the plant for that patient.

Rockies Ski Town To Vote Tuesday on Legalizing Pot By Kristen Wyatt
CN Source: Associated Press November 02, 2009 Breckenridge, Colo.
Voters in this Rocky Mountain resort town will decide Tuesday whether to legalize pot for all adults at a time when the movement to allow medical marijuana is gaining steam around the country. A measure before Breckenridge voters in a municipal election would legalize possession of up to 1 ounce of marijuana along with bongs, pipes and other pot paraphernalia. Supporters of the measure say it would inch the whole state closer to full legalization.
