Cannabis is an absolutely amazing product. Do your own research. You will see very solid scientific evidence that backs up the many positive effects this substance has. In fact, I was pretty enraged when I did the research. It is clear that the decision to ban this substance was fraught with racial overtones, and was introduced simply because after the demise of prohibition, the government agency tasked with enforcing prohibition, needed a new mandate. It is also appalling that because of this ill-conceived war on drugs, and placing cannabis on Schedule 1 in the United States, virtually all scientific testing was either banned completely, or faced so many obstacles, that most scientists avoided doing any research on it at all. Thus, much of the scientific studies come from Spain and Israel. Oddly enough, when a pharmaceutical company decided to extract one of the key substances from the cannabis plant and market it as Marinol, it suddenly went from having no known medicinal qualities (the criteria to have it listed in Schedule 1) to being a very effective drug which can be marketed and can make lots of money for the drug company.
Do your own research. There is tons of stuff on the internet. There are Harvard professors and top-notch researchers turning out excellent, amazing research regarding the healing powers of this substance. Oh, and the reason why so many of the States are now recognizing it for its medicinal qualities and legalizing it, is because it is unbelievably effective in helping young children suffering from severe forms of epilepsy where they literally convulse hundreds of times an hour, and the only medications heretofore even slightly effective would put these children into complete zombie states. Cannabis not only relieves the unbearable non-stop seizures, but doesn’t affect the children's level of consciousness. Parents in states which have not legalized marijuana have literally moved their whole families to other states to access medical marijuana when they have children suffering these syndromes. Even Republicans have in some instances been moved to back bills legalizing medical marijuana, when they have been confronted with these suffering children. Medical marijuana has also been found to be very effective for PTSD states, such as those suffered by servicemen and women who have served overseas and have witnessed traumatic events. With respect to cancer therapy, one of the worst cancers is the glioma which occurs in the brain. With such a diagnosis, most patients were dead within 6 months. Spanish researchers have recently shown that in mice with experimentally-induced gliomas, and treated with cannabinoids, 1/3 showed complete resolution of the glioma, 1/3 showed a standstill in the development of the glioma, and 1/3 showed no improvement. Given that nothing else has been found to be consistently helpful in treating gliomas, these results are nothing short of earth-shattering. Read and learn. I cry when I think of all the people who might have been helped if not for the conspiracy related to this drug. It is deeply deeply disturbing.

I wonder if maybe some of this is to justify making it legal saying it is for medical reasons. It can't be all that wonderful, nothing is and when someone tells me that, I get suspicious. ---- ROBERT CHAPEL <bcha...@optonline.net> wrote: > Amy....

Yes/No Maybe so : ) I chose to believe and did not make a point of keeping the article for reference... and Amani ( if you happen to read this) I am getting hopeful about all of the uses of cannabinol ( though I AM suspect when something is said to be useful for everything from Cancer to Transmission Trouble in Oldsmobiles)...
