[Tmar.aLL.DaYmar]

i didnt know wether to post this under activism or the medical forum but oh well.

this week's issue of time magazine outlines the top 100 medical breakthroughs of 2005. listed inside is MARIJUANA. it states that cannabis has been proven to prevent rheumatoid arthritis, and to treat diseases such as pneumonia. if i had the magazine with me id post the article, but i dont. it ends in saying "these new breakthroughs are making the legalization of marijuana more of a legitimate medical issue than a social issue."

finally some pro-cannabis publicity. if anyone has that issue, itd be great if ud post hte article.

MARIJUANA Research into the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of cannabis continued to bolster the case for the medicinal use of marijuana, making the "patient pot laws" that have passed in 11 states seem less like a social movement than a legitimate medical trend. One trial--the first controlled study of its kind--showed that a medicine containing cannabis extracts called Sativex not only lessened the pain of rheumatoid arthritis but actually suppressed the disease. An earlier study published in the Journal of Neuroscience showed that synthetic cannabinoids, the chemicals in marijuana, can reduce inflammation in the brain and may protect it from the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease.

time is only tellings us what we have knows for 10,000 years. those who lie about cannabis could care less what time says whether it be time magazine or time itself. removing corporate america from influencing the low-lifes we call "leaders" is the a huge part of the solution.
TV is probably our biggest enemy. It spreads propaganda and messages that are laced with corporate propaganda. ("probably" is not scientific evidence nor should it be taken as such)

Blow up your tv
throw away your paper
move to the country
build you a home
plant a lot of cannabis
eat a lot of peaches
try to find your truths
on your own

Don't be so negative. Let me say that I agree with much of your statement but this type of publicity in favor of our beloved plant can only be a good thing. Even people who are convinced that pot is harmfull will have to one day agree that it's pros outweigh it's cons when the truth is layed bare before them. Time's article helps get the word out, I agree that most pubications spread propoganda but sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. Of coures in this case it's more like fighting fire with water, fighting lies with truth. When the truth spreads to the vast silent majority the people will stand up and change what is wrong.
Untill then just smoke a bowl and try to stay positive. :stoned: :thumbsup:

time magazine is a respected source, so it should hopefully make people realize that marijuana actually does some good

[daima]

the Institute of Medicine is a good source also and they(the government) use their finding as toilet paper. We need to face the truth. The truth is that corporate america will not allow a plant that threatens the wealth they obtain by using synthetics to be used by the population. Research and documents that show the positives of cannabis have been around much much longer than TIME magazine.

i agree 100%.

[APTUtah]

I agree that the evidence has been around thousands of years and studies and findings published in the '80s and '90s are fully legit and should have brought about legalization years ago. APT has a member who is a research scientist at the University of Utah and has done experiments with THC and lab rats. He is on the same level-- saying the studies have been there all along and it is crazy only now Times publishes such an article.
It may be late, but not little. Every new study that is released is just one more blow to the "War on Drugs"
This war is a series of hard battles and until we win the last battle we have not won the war. That Times article is just us winning one more battle (hopefully one of our last).

We will win this War.

Research and documents that show the positives of cannabis have been around much much longer than TIME magazine.

thats true, but i can guarantee less than 2% of americans have actually made the effort to look at or research these documents. people go by what they see on tv, hear on the radio, or read in magazines. its good that finally there is public recognition of the pros of cannabis.

[daima]

You are glad that there is finally public recognition about the positives of cannabis? Been there, done that.
At one time in america you could pay your taxes with cannabis. How can public recognition become any more informed than that? It was considered MONEY!! You could go to jail for NOT growing it. America would of never become the country it became without it. It sailed our ships. It clothed our soldiers. It lit our lamps before whale oil came along. It healed our sick.

Time magazine has contracts with paper companies who cut dwon trees so that they can print their magazine. Why arent these promoters of "justice" using cannabis hemp? It's legal for them to do so. mMMmmmmmmm Dai ma scratches his chin while pondering the bs that has invaded his usually calm life.
