marijuana

I'm seeking some advice about a fellow called Rick Simpson. Simpson is a Canadian who claims that hemp oil cures cancer. Not hemp seed oil, but actual hemp oil containing high concentrations of THC. Naturally there is a website devoted to his cause and of course there is the obligatory YouTube...

The New Zealand Herald is running a bulletin board discussion on the decriminalization of cannabis. One post by someone calling themselves "Whanganui it is (Gonville)" contains a concentrated barrage of dubious health 'advice'. I'm quoting it in full because I have never seen anything...

Another link between 9/11 truth and Mary Jane... So even though I'm banned at PrisonPlanet forums, I still get their junk mail...today I got one pointing me here: http://www.constitutionaltv.com/Legal.htm According to the link, this guy apparently uses "medical marijuana" (although he's not...

Who else is waking and baking for a nice Sunday 4/20? On a serious note I think it's a shame how many people we have in jail in this country for growing or using this weed. I personally don't think that it's harmful and that it should be legalized. However, I also make the argument that...

They say that THC stimulates the appetite. Has there been any serious studies if something as simple as pot can cure anorexia? I mean, the disease anorexia is pretty easy - too little food.

Following on from the discussion about whether marijuana is harmful or not, I thought I'd start a poll to see what people's opinions on it are. Possibly this is the wrong board, but I put it here because the original thread about it is here and I don't want this thread derailed with exactly the...

http://dyn.politico.com/printstory.cfm?uuid=95B8F233-3048-5C12-0029F56B532B8EC8 A good step in the right (no pun intended) direction. If conservatism is to reclaim it's "personal freedom" cred, opposing marijuana laws is a good place to start.

(In order to stop derailing the gay frivolity of this other thread, I'm starting a new thread about this.) I'm of the opinion that marijuana in all its forms should be legal. My argument is simple: The burden of proof should always be on those who say that something should be illegal. In my...

http://www.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/04/21/medical.marijuana.ap/index.html Is this a political move or a scientific conclusion? I am not really familiar with the studies for or against.

Im constantly hearing conflicting claims about studies done on Marijuana.."Studies have shown marijuana is addictive." "Studies have shown marijuana is not addictive." "Studies have shown marijuana causes lung cancer." Ect..ect. So what I would like is for everyone to post all of the studies...

I thought all these hemp fests were advocating the commercial uses of hemp == hemp that you can't get high on yet is still illegal. So how are these suckers legal? Fill me in!http://wcbs880.com/topstories/topstoriesny_story_069164952.html

SEATTLE -- Betty Hiatt's morning wake-up call comes with the purr and persistent kneading of the cat atop her bedspread. Reaching for a cane, the frail grandmother pads with uncertain steps to the tiny alcove kitchen in her two-room flat. She is, at 81, a medical train wreck and a miracle...

Lets hope the justices do decide to legalize Medical Marijuana.

Please note, mods, this is not going to be a thread condoning an illegal action, so there's no need to mess with it. After debating with friends who were adamant that pot is not addictive, not harmful, and makes your farts smell like cinnamon buns, I wondered where I could get medical...

Conservatives pride themselves on resisting change, which is as it should be. But intelligent deference to tradition and stability can evolve into intellectual sloth and moral fanaticism, as when conservatives simply decline to look up from dogma because the effort to raise their heads and...

I know there are a couple of doctors here and this has bothered me. How important would marijuana be if it was not illegal? Does it deserve the amount of fuss some people argue for it.
