Its criminal that this treatment, that has proven effective, is outlawed in most places. Saw the program and there are folks moving their whole

Yep. Criminal. |

There is a lot of research going on with PTSD and hallucinogens for cures, too.
Beats the hell out of a lifetime of the anti-depressants the AMA wants you to ingest. |
....there's many strains. Some ,yes, will make you sleepy,, others energized.... the store menu's usually have descriptions of the characteristics.

...''Mia used to have hundreds of seizures a day and traditional medicine wasn't helping. Her mother turned to cannabis oil and Mia hasn't had a
seizure in two years.''

What Is THCV And How Is It Different From THC?
http://www.theweedblog.com/what-is-thcv-and-how-is-it-differ...
"THCV is a new potential treatment against obesity-associated glucose intolerance with pharmacology different from that of CB1 inverse
agonists/antagonists."
"THCV has been found to reduce or even block panic attacks and, as a result, can be highly effective in the management of PTSD and other mental
disorders involving anxiety or stress, as shown in research in places like Israel, where a great amount of cannabis research is done. THCV doesn’t
appear to suppress emotions, only the ability to panic, associated with Fight or Flight response.
THCV has also been shown to reduce tremors associated with diseases such as Parkinson’s, along with ailments associated with motor control. There is
also promising research demonstrating reduction of brain lesions associated with Parkinson’s.
THCV also stimulates bone cell growth, and has potential in the treatment of osteoporosis and similar ailments; possibly even in the micro gravity of
space, to combat the loss of bone mass."
Fascinating field of study .... How things work

Great links, guys-------many thanks. Much of this I was totally unaware of. This info should be main-lined in the Media as many of us are just
knee-jerk opposed to MJ without knowing the full story.

....too bad it was illegal to do research for the last -50- years!!!
The first cannabinoid (tetrahydrocannabinol) was discovered in 1964 at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, by Dr. Raphael Mechoulam
and his colleagues, Dr. Yehiel Gaoni and Dr. Haviv Edery.
Research has been limited for the cannabis plant since that time, so a lot has yet to be discovered as to the traits and benefits of each cannabinoid.

Nothing wrong with a 'responsible' stoner either. Less dangerous than the Affluenza Teen that plowed into a crowd killing four. Of course, as a
bonehead he'd do the same thing after several big blunts of Maui Wowwie....... it's just so hypocritical for one to judge another's escapisms while
sipping an adult beverage. Kinda like Mommy's Little Helpers in the 60's; she was gorked on Valium or Nembutal and Daddy had his Bourbon and
ditchwater, but heaven forbid junior was doing a doobie.

I still say the you should blame Nixon and his antipathy toward hippies during Viet Nam. So many Nam vets learned about pot while over there. Too many
Nam vets died over there for no reason other than profits for the military industrial complex.

Marijuana became a Schedule 1 drug in 1970 when Nixon was president. Schedule 1 drugs are considered the most dangerous, heroin is also Schedule 1.
The classification makes it difficult for scientists to study properties, uses, etc.

Exactly. If it had not been for Nixon, the nation would not be having this fight today. Marijuana is more benign than alcohol. I say this even though
I have not partaken in it for a couple of decades.

Any over weight, cancer stick sucking, martoonie lovers out there, don't even open your mouth.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

How many people die every year from the trade in pot? Hundreds? Thousands?
If we accept the presumption that pot is a gateway drug for users that graduate to harder drugs like heroin, then pot contributes to about 10,000
deaths per year from heroin, plus many other deaths from meth, crack, etc.
P.s. For perspective you should state that 15000 per year die from guns.
