This is what I'll tell my brother.

[beachguy in thongs]

My Brother, who's 39, thinks that Pot makes you stupid. My Sister, 37, told me several years ago that people were making these huge scientific studies, on Pot, after I told her that a rehabilitation educator had said that they found that it cures three types of cancer in mice. Oh, by the way, she smokes Herb.

After further review of my signature, and using this statement, "Cannabinoids slow down the aging process. Mice that their brains respond to cannabinoids live longer and mice that have brains that block the CB1 receptors die younger.", I'm going to say to him.

"You know, Jeff, if you don't use your cannabinoid receptors, you're gonna die younger. Just like mice."

ya and try to find out how many people smoke pot and how many of those people are dumber than average.....and try and look for famous people that toked up,Mark Twain did and I'm pretty sure one of the first presidents did it too.

Thomas Jefferson and George Washington used to grow, as a secondary and primary crop, respectively. The State of Virginia had a law requiring farmers to grow hemp.

Its been shown that in mice, Herb speeds the growth of the brain cells responsible for emotions. Therefore, it's possible that Herb may be the answer for people suffering with bipolar.
Suits me fine! :dance:

(2) POT FOUND NOT TO CAUSE FETAL ALCOHOL SYNDROME

A new study of children born to marijuana-smoking
mothers found no link between marijuana exposure and the
birth defects of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS). The new study,
by Dr. Susan J. Astley of the University of Washington,
published in the January, 1992 issue of Pediatrics,
contradicted a 1982 study by Dr. Ralph Hingson, in which
prenatal exposure to marijuana was found to increase the risk
of FAS.
Hingson's results, which have not been replicated, have
been questioned on various methodological grounds, in
particular the difficulty of controlling for combined drinking
and pot use.
The new study looked for facial deformities
symptomatic of FAS in 40 children whose mothers had smoked
marijuana heavily during pregnancy and 40 controls, It found no
association between marijuana and FAS, but deformities were
observed in children of women who drank 2 ounces of alcohol
per day or took cocaine.

(3) NEW STUDY FINDS POT DOESN'T LOWER TESTOSTERONE

A new study by Dr. Robert Block at the University of
Iowa disputes the commonly held notion that marijuana alters
the level of testosterone and other sex hormones.
The study contradicted a widely publicized 1974 study
by Dr. R.C. Kolodony, which reported decreased testosterone
levels in men who smoked marijuana chronically.
The U. of Iowa study found that chronic marijuana use
had no effect on testosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle
stimulating hormone, prolactin and cortisol in men or women.
Noting that six other studies had failed to show
lowered testosterone levels in men, Dr. Block concluded: "It
appears that marijuana, even heavy use of the kind that's
typical in the United States, doesn't alter testosterone levels."
However, he cautioned that heavy use might have other
adverse effects, including "possible effects on reproductive
function and mild, selective cognitive impairments associated
with heavy, chronic use."

Cannabis... longer life... happier... mellower... nonviolent (mostly, i've HEARD of people becoming very violent... but i call BS)... healthier... more independant thinking...


yeah, that's a good idea, let's make it illegal, and then we can controll the masses so much easier by using materialistic "needs" which cannabis can fufill.
