The Patch

[gypski]

No, its not about a new cannabis patch for patients, its about a patch to help with so-called cannabis withdrawal. How far is the government willing to go to continue a charade and waste money on this bullshit?

On November 3, the Kentucky-based pharmaceutical company All Tranz Inc. announced it had been awarded a $4 million NIDA research grant to promote a "transdermal tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) patch" for the treatment of marijuana dependence and withdrawal. (THC is the primary psychoactive ingredient in cannabis.) "NIDA is interested in exploring the role of transdermal THC delivery as an innovative way to treat marijuana withdrawal symptoms and dependence," explained the agency's director, Nora Volkow. "This is especially relevant to our efforts to fill a critical gap in available treatments for the many Americans struggling with marijuana-related disorders and their detrimental medical and social consequences."

I always think its absolutely hilarious when somebody tells me they're addicted to weed. However, it seems to me that those who find themselves dependent have many psychological/psychiatric issues to deal with in their life.

I actually would like to try the patch tho. I could just say it was a nicotine patch, and if I had enough of em on my body I bet I could stay baked all day.:rastasmoke:
