We will track you down and root you out of your pathetic caves, and
arrest you, and charge you with felonies, and imprison you harshly!

Drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes if you want to get high. It's safe..

Alcohol and cigarettes : legal and safe in your homes and vehicles.

Only in America.

Prescription Drugs Kill 300 Percent More Americans than Illegal Drugs

One estimate of Cannabis's LD50 for humans indicates that about 1500
pounds of marijuana would have to be smoked within 15 minutes.


I'd have loved to been a participant in that study.



hahahahaha

If you think that is funny wait till you see this one:

"A synthetic chemical similar to the active ingredient in marijuana
makes new cells grow in rat brains. What is more, in rats this cell
growth appears to be linked with reducing anxiety and depression. The
results suggest that marijuana, or its derivatives, could actually be
good for the brain."

This poem - will tell you.

Ok. Check this out:

What Your Government Knows About Cannabis And Cancer -- And Isn't
Telling You

June 24, 2008

Senator Ted Kennedy is putting forward a brave face following his
recent surgery but the sad reality remains. Even with successful
surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy treatment, gliomas -- a highly
aggressive form of brain cancer that strikes approximately 10,000
Americans annually -- tragically claim the lives of 75 percent of its
victims within two years and virtually all within five years.


But what if there was an alternative treatment for gliomas that could
selectively target the cancer while leaving healthy cells intact? And
what if federal bureaucrats were aware of this treatment, but
deliberately withheld this information from the public?

Sadly, the questions posed above are not entirely hypothetical. Let me
explain.

In 2007, I reviewed over 150 published preclinical and clinical
studies assessing the therapeutic potential of marijuana and several
of its active compounds, known as cannabinoids. I summarized these
numerous studies in a book, now in its third edition, entitled
Emerging Clinical Applications for Cannabis and Cannabinoids: A Review
of the Scientific Literature. (NORML Foundation, 2008) One chapter in
this book, which summarized the findings of more than 30 separate
trials and literature reviews, was dedicated to the use of
cannabinoids as potential anti-cancer agents, particularly in the
treatment of gliomas.

Not familiar with this scientific research? Your government is.

In fact, the first experiment documenting pot's potent anti-cancer
effects took place in 1974 at the Medical College of Virginia at the
behest federal bureaucrats. The results of that study, reported in an
Aug. 18, 1974, Washington Post newspaper feature, were that
marijuana's primary psychoactive component, THC, "slowed the growth of
lung cancers, breast cancers and a virus-induced leukemia in
laboratory mice, and prolonged their lives by as much as 36 percent."

Despite these favorable preliminary findings (eventually published the
following year in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute), U.S.
government officials refused to authorize any follow-up research until
conducting a similar -- though secret -- preclinical trial in the
mid-1990s. That study, conducted by the U.S. National Toxicology
Program to the tune of $2 million, concluded that mice and rats
administered high doses of THC over long periods had greater
protection against malignant tumors than untreated controls.

However, rather than publicize their findings, the U.S. government
shelved the results, which only became public after a draft copy of
its findings were leaked to the medical journal AIDS Treatment News,
which in turn forwarded the story to the national media.

In the years since the completion of the National Toxicology trial,
the U.S. government has yet to authorize a single additional study
examining the drug's potential anti-cancer properties. (Federal
permission is necessary in order to conduct clinical research on
marijuana because of its illegal status as a schedule I controlled
substance.)

Fortunately, in the past 10 years scientists overseas have generously
picked up where U.S. researchers so abruptly left off, reporting that
cannabinoids can halt the spread of numerous cancer cells -- including
prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, and
brain cancer. (An excellent paper summarizing much of this research,
"Cannabinoids for Cancer Treatment: Progress and Promise," appears in
the January 2008 edition of the journal Cancer Research.) A 2006
patient trial published in the British Journal of Cancer even reported
that the intracranial administration of THC was associated with
reduced tumor cell proliferation in humans with advanced glioblastoma.

Writing earlier this year in the scientific journal Expert Review of
Neurotherapeutics, Italian researchers reiterated, "(C)annabinoids
have displayed a great potency in reducing glioma tumor growth. (They)
appear to be selective antitumoral agents as they kill glioma cells
without affecting the viability of nontransformed counterparts." Not
one mainstream media outlet reported their findings. Perhaps now
they'll pay better attention.

What possible advancements in the treatment of cancer may have been
achieved over the past 34 years had U.S. government officials chosen
to advance -- rather than suppress -- clinical research into the anti-
cancer effects of cannabis? It's a shame we have to speculate; it's
even more tragic that the families of Senator Kennedy and thousands of
others must suffer while we do.
