Bullshit to Continue Unabated
2008-01-07 14:41:00 CANNABIS: GOOD AND BAD NEWS (is the malpractice of reporting bullshit will continue unabated according to unfairfax's sunday star-times. /Blair) Just half a joint can trigger short-term symptoms similar to schizophrenia: small amounts of the drug can cause paranoia, hallucinations and delusions associated with other mental illnesses. Schizophrenics' psychotic symptoms worsen with cannabis use. BUT other research found that one active ingredient in cannabis inhibits psychotic symptoms in schizophrenics. Aids patients with debilitating nerve pain get as much pain relief from cannabis as from prescription medications, and with fewer side effects. Occasional use of cannabis is not harmful to teenagers, but those who smoke cigarettes as well develop problems, and are likely to be heavier cannabis users. Smoking cannabis eased pain induced in healthy volunteers but less was more. Marijuana skin cream could help with allergies. Experienced cannabis smokers perform tasks as... More About: Bullshit

Could Smoking Pot Be Good for Teens?
2007-12-11 13:17:00 Only decriminalization is a sure route to a lower crime rate. It is sad that it appears so far below the horizon of political feasibility - Richard PosnerChicago's chief judge of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and one of the nation's leading legal scholars, says marijuana use should be legalized as a way of reducing crime. Posner, a Reagan administration appointee once described by American Lawyer magazine as ?the most brilliant judge in the country,? explained his views on marijuana in The Times Literary Supplement, a British publication, and in later interview:?It is nonsense that we should be devoting so many law enforcement resources to marijuana," says Posner. "I am skeptical that a society that is so tolerant of alcohol and cigarettes should come down so hard on marijuana use and send people to prison for life without parole.?Posner is the highest-ranking judge to publicly favor the repeal of marijuana laws.

2007-11-28 01:42:00 When feigning deafness eventually becomes impossible, as with Evolution, Global Warming, or certain aspects of the ?wars? on drugs and terror, the fall-back positions of those in denial often become unsupported claims that their favored alternatives are morally superior, and the ones they oppose will lead to disaster.Thus do they usually favor war over negotiations, profits over environmental preservation, and imprisonment over rehabilitation. In the case of the drug war they have gotten away with a particularly egregious injustice by defining safe self-medication as a crime; entirely on the basis of deductive logic which has been assiduously protected for nearly a century from the rigorous scrutiny supposed to be applied to ?evidence based? policy, and despite its obvious failures and piously dishonest claims.- Dr T.

Ramonabant for 'Diabetes' in NZ ?
2007-11-26 22:07:00 Ramonobant as a 'cannabinoid' blocker. It switches off the same brain circuits that make people hungry when they smoke cannabis. Studies show that about 30-40% of obese people taking Ramonabant lost more than 5% of their body weight and 10-20% of subjects lost over 10% of their body weight above what they lost on diet alone. Because Ramona acts on the liver as well it had beneficial effects on triglycerides and other fats in the blood. Blood pressure reduction has also been observed with Ramona treatment. Ramona works by blocking an important chemical pathway in the brain known as the endocannabinoid system. Scientists speculate that our body naturally manufactures substances resembling cannabis (marijuana, pot, reefer erc.), which interact with the endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system not only participates in the control of appetite but is active in many areas of the body including the gastrointestinal tract, mood regulation, bone development, muscle control, blood ...

Narcotic use and athletic ability
2007-11-23 03:48:00 "People under the influence of marijuana (cannabis) perform poorly in virtually every sort of mental and physical task, especially athletics. The increase in heart rate after smoking pot decreases the body's maximum tolerance for exercise, makes the smoker more vulnerable to fatigue, and makes breathing more difficult.

Media driven FEAR has dramatised the issue such that pregnant women have become frantic upon realising they had eaten salad that had wine vinegar dressing consequently fearing their children would be born suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome. Of course, wine vinegar, being vinegar, contains no alcohol. Other woman have avoided access to medical help a...
