so just because they arrest people that they think are high that makes marijuana a bad drug? how many people do they arrest on zoloft, xanax, ambien or viagra? are those bad too? (that was rhetorical, we all know that all of those are worse for you!)

man these people and their articulate and precise defenses for their beliefs. and all that "proof" to back it up.

i was reading the other day that cancer drugs, on average go through eight years of clinical trials before being deemed safe for humans. i understand that once it's released to the general population through perscriptions that it's like an ongoing clinical trial, yet we have minimal actual EXPERIENCE with what can happen.

people have been smoking weed for over 5000 years without there ever being an overdose! it's been revered for it's medicinal properties in countless civilizations. it's a know fact that you can't develop a physical dependency to it. it is eco friendly (environment and economy, i like to call it eco<sup>2</sup> (patented and trademarked and not to be used without the permission of headshake, inc!))!

so continue to dance my good sir, for the fire will only continue to intensify and all the lies will fall like humpty from the wall.

they even did a study with the 7 remaining patients in the FDAs compassionate investigational new drug program.

1. Cannabis smoking, even of a crude, low-grade product, provides
effective symptomatic relief of pain, muscle spasms, and intra-
ocular pressure elevations in selected patients failing other modes
of treatment.
2. These clinical cannabis patients are able to reduce or eliminate
other prescriptionmedicines and their accompanying side effects.
3. Clinical cannabis provides an improved quality of life in these pa-
tients.
4. The side effect profile of NIDA cannabis in chronic usage sug-
gests some mild pulmonary risk.
5. No malignant deterioration has been observed.
6. No consistent or attributable neuropsychological or neurological
deterioration has been observed.
7. No endocrine, hematological or immunological sequelae have
been observed.
8. Improvements in a clinical cannabis program would include a
ready and consistent supply of sterilized, potent, organically grown
unfertilized female flowering top material, thoroughly cleaned of
extraneous inert fibrous matter.
9. It is the authorsâ?? opinion that the Compassionate IND program
should be reopened and extended to other patients in need of clini-
cal cannabis.
10. Failing that, local, state and federal laws might be amended to
provide regulated andmonitored clinical cannabis to suitable can-
didates.

that's the summation of the study. and the bud they gave them was crap. that study is very interesting. check it out!
