Mseerob use a vaporizer, this eliminates the bad, and keeps the good.:vap_rasta:. Using a bong will not help with your condition. Sad but true. Foxtrot, India, I give up

I know that posting it here is "preaching to the choir", but my little compendium has also popped up in a medical college to be shown around to future doctors, random pages are in a laundromat back east, I just sent it to a pro-cannabis veteran's group, and it's in the hands of a few "crazy activists" to be spread around. If we keep spreading it, educating people one by one,-maybe that 70 to 80% of the public who support medical cannabis, will eventually grow to 100%. Then, we will either have a change in the heart and laws of our government, or change our government!

Yeah, if ONE person sends a copy in, well, in all probability, it won't even get to the politico it's aimed at. Some little flapper (read the original Gulliver's Travels) will toss it- the first time. But what if ten, or a hundred, came in? It gets a LOT harder to ignore! It might "slip through".

Might be a nice party/project for some bored tokers to do some snowy evening- get stoned, put together some letters, get stoned-er, call friends, turn them on to the post and get them to send it in, too. And get them to call friends! Wouldn't be THAT hard to get 100 copies all coming in within a few days! Or everyone send it in to arrive April 20th. You don't have to be out there "singin' songs and carrying signs" to be an activist. A stamp is 41 cents.

How about everyone doing ONE "Activist act" a month? There are over 20,000 ACTIVE members at C.com. So get ACTIVE! Make it a late New Year's resolution- to make up for the one(s) you have already broken! - Granny:hippy:

Wow, this is truly an amazing thread

[josemartinez915]

I will definitely send this to some friends and family

Thank you, Jose! Be sure to hit the link in reply #59! It has about 100+ new studies. - Granny:hippy:

I know now why those post for Mseerob are the way they are. 1st I didn't read every post, or I would have known he had already had that suggested to him:asskick:. 2nd I haven't smoked a thing all day. That's about to change:S5:.

The Inflamatory Bowl study. I can, from 1st hand experience, vouch for the validity of that one. You don't want to know. Let us just say it involved bodily fluids, and 3 days in the hospital.

[SMOKIN A WHILE]

Happy Birthday! Thanks for the incredible reading list. I must say its gonna take a while to figure out what to read first then reading. You have done quite a bit of research. Thank you.

THANK YOU!!!!! :thumbsup:

Marijuana Ingredient May Prevent Mad Cow Disease

Cannabidiol May be Effective in Preventing Bovine Spongiforme Enzephalopathy (Mad Cow Disease)

BBSNews 2007-09-16 â?? (IACM) According to basic research of scientists of the National Centre for Scientific Research in Valbonne, France, cannabidiol (CBD) may prevent the development of prion diseases, the most known being BSE (bovine spongiforme enzephalopathy), which is often called mad cow disease. It is believed that the BSE may be transmitted to human beings. In humans, it is known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

The infectious agent in prion diseases is believed to be a specific type of misfolded protein called prion. Misfolded prion proteins carry the disease between individuals and cause deterioration of the brain. The French researchers reported that the non- psychoactive cannabis constituent CBD inhibited the accumulation of prion proteins in both mouse and sheep prion- infected cells, whereas other cannabinoids were either weak or not effective. Moreover, after infection with mouse scrapie, a prion disease, CBD limited accumulation of the prion protein in the brain and significantly increased the survival time of infected mice. CBD inhibited the nerve damaging effects of prions in a concentration-dependent manner. Researchers noted that CBD may be a promising agent for the treatment of prion diseases.

Itâ??s an exciting development, to the best of our knowledge this is among the first substances discovered that has the potential to alter the invariably fatal course of bovine spongiforme enzephalopathy.

heres alittle info on mad cow and mmj.
im sorry if its a double mrs storm crow
