positive MJ reports in media?!

[koshea]

i was wathcing tv and saw a preview for a story running tonight on houstons FOX 26 in which it states "a joint a day keeps the doctor away" becuase new medical studies show the positive effects marijuana and thc have on the human heart...i cant believe something positive is being said about MJ on TV on the news


anyone who lives in HOUSTON, TX watch Fox 26 News at 9 tonight for the story

[weirdo79]

The toronto Sun has been running a 2 page article (running article total of 14 pages) by Dan Gardner extolling (mostly) the virtues of Cannabis, and the pitfalls and downright "rights abuse" of prohibition. Was also covered on CityTV ;)

[koshea]

this is the USA though, canada already hase semi laxed laws about MJ

[BUZz UK]

i think it is 'rights abuse', lol, and WOW, the American Misinformation Society must have been caught napping for MJ to get some positive press, lol.

[Tha]

Its about time!!!

I have yet to see ANYTHING positive for cannabis in the media... :(

Lets just hope this helps out with all the people that have been fed throughout the yrs with ignorant,bullshit facts about grass. thats one nice step towards legalization in the states :D

Sounds like there gonna make a synthetic drug to replicate the effects. Which is a shame realy. But i guess the goverment cant have everyone turning into "dope fiends".

Do that, man. Fucking DO that!

Consider yourself an educator. I only wish my town had a stupid DJ who begs for it like your guy apparently does.





Oh, and

And from FOX station in Texas nonetheless (neither is known for having very liberal attitudes). Impressive. But still, it's vastly outnumbered by those lies propagated for a "drug-free America" (as if that were an attainable goal). It's interesting that they think a "drug-free America" includes caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, Prozac, Viagra, nitrous oxide, etc etc etc.

or is the government working hard to make sure marijuana, for recreational use, stays illegal. I might try to find out who funded the research. NIH???

Guess I should introduce myself. I'm a new member and thought I'd try just jumping in instead of waiting in line.

Tasty Mango tonight.

Welcome Meduser!
The government have too many incentives to not legalise weed so I still believe itll be a while before legalisation is even considered but its good to see a step in the right direction.
