    Doctors treating protesters in Yemen have reported that the government used some kind of nerve gas on protesters. The protests there have become more violent as the government used live ammunition on protesters in addition to gas, killing one and injuring 50.

    I wonder if it's related to the stuff that the Russians used a few years ago against the hostage takers in that theater?

    Old CS gas can begin to become unstable. Its could be an old Chlro-bromide where it becomes a phosgene. Thus looking like a legal gas when it is not..

    I heard carfentanil was used on some hostages by the russians. It might've been in a school though. Elephant heroin gas for the kiddies!

    In my humble opinion, most protests that turn violent, do so because the opposing force wants to put it down and stifle media attention. Look at G20 Toronto summit protests, which cost over 800 million dollars in security and still turned violent...all that money could have gone into causes that the protestors were calling action toward: poverty, health, gay rights etc. Okay, there was the black bloc thing...can violent protest really be justified to get a message across? Who knows..I guess some people think so. So Mubarak stepped down, but Qaddafi is not going to...thus leading to the death of thousands who simply want justice. You chain yourself to a tree and you get tased. This illegal nerve gas is no suprise to me...Bringing down protests of the educated is a recurring theme lately, but it's more inspiring than sitting around complacently!

    Hey, I don't condone violence, yet most governments seem to...hmm....

    Counter Reefer Maniac accusations that marijuana users support terrorism with the plain fact that these dizzy morons are preventing the use of the "best available protection against nerve gas attack" with their marijuana madness.

    Among its many properties cannabis provides considerable protection from a number of lethal nerve gas symptoms by defending the brain from injury and suppressing the the seizures, nausea and vomiting associated with chemical warfare agents.

    Marijuana Substitute Combats Nerve Gas
    by Julian Borger
    June 05, 1998 - Scripps Howard News Service
    JERUSALEM -- The best available protection against nerve gas attack comes from an Israeli-made synthetic equivalent of marijuana, U.S. military experiments have shown.

    Marijuana protects your brain
    by Dana Larsen (01 Jan, 1999)
    Studies reveal that marijuana protects against brain damage from stroke, heart attacks, and nerve gas.

    Cannabis Prevents Brain Damage - 03/08/00
    Israeli/American drug company called Pharmos of a marijuana-derived nerve-preserving medication which is well on its way to market (see Feds Welcome Medical-Marijuana Research?) This new synthetic cannabinoid, dexanabinol, has been shown to reliably forestall permanent nerve damage in lab animals subjected to cerebral stroke and surgical shock, and is undergoing human trials now in Israeli hospitals.

    Cannabis Blocks Irreversible Brain Damage 03/18/00
    Haim Aviv, chairman of Pharmos as well as the Israel National Committee for Biotechnology, says the company is developing a chemical compound, Dexanabinol, which can protect healthy brain cells by blocking glutamate, the neurotransmitter. Head trauma and strokes cause the release of excessive glutamate, often resulting in irreversible damage to brain cells.

    Ganjawar Prevents Brain Tumor Treatment - 04/02/09
    The active ingredient in marijuana appears to reduce tumor growth, according to a Spanish study published on Wednesday. The researchers showed giving THC to mice with cancer decreased tumor growth and killed cells off in a process called autophagy.

    "From time to time, I say that the suppression of medical marijuana is murder. This is not quite correct. It is actually mass murder. It has caused the deaths of countless thousands of people."
    ~ the Financial Times Limited, 1998
    (Ed. note: The FT is the London equivalent of the Wall Street Journal. This drug could be patented, so it is of interest to the financial community.)

    I'm not familiar with the breakdown products of CS, but that seems much more likely than nerve gas. Unless you have tens of thousands dead it wasn't that. Besides, it would kill the people using it as well if they weren't wearing full protective gear. Gas masks aren't sufficient, nerve gas isn't really gas, it's a thick oily liquid which absorbs quite well through the skin.
