Howdy Smoke,

Thanx for the interesting articles..I found the first article to be fascinating..and the second- full of common sense and advice. I especially liked the last paragraph of the first article :

" In a remarkable way, the effects of marijuana have led to the still unfolding story of the endocannabinoids. The receptor CB1 seems to be present in all vertebrate species, suggesting that systems employing the brain's own marijuana have been in existence for about 500 million years. During that time, endocannabinoids have been adapted to serve numerous, often subtle, functions. We have learned that they do not affect the development of fear, but the forgetting of fear; they do not alter the ability to eat, but the desirability of the food, and so on. Their presence in parts of the brain associated with complex motor behavior, cognition, learning and memory implies that much remains to be discovered about the uses to which evolution has put these interesting messengers. "

I think,that this paragraph can be summed up like this :

The Lord..works in mysterious ways .. I believe that marijuana is one of God's most perfect creations,it's molecules are complex and their effects,multi-fold and still somewhat mysterious in scope. That it is capable of effecting the forgetting of fear..ranging to desirability of food,is miraculous to me..and proof that only a Divine Creator..could have had the vision to bless the human species with such a miraculous plant.

I have come to believe,that the answer to all of Man's ills,can be found in Nature..if only we can find such and learn it's uses. I also believe,that the CB1 and CB2 receptors,were designed by God to facillitate complex healing and protection measures,as well as,connect us with our spiritual selves,opening and expanding our consciences to the spiritual world. Simply put-when I'm stoned..I feel closer to God and His Heavenly Kingdom..I'm more at tune with Nature..and I can make global connections of thought,that I cannot make-when I'm not stoned.

Well..I've rambled on long enough..I hope that I haven't offended you or anyone with my opinion..if so..git stoned..you'll git over it ! lol

Have a good one....Torog
