"Drugs that Block Cannabinoid Receptors Seem Problematic

Merck announced that its drug Taranabant (CB1 blocking) had caused unacceptable side effects (anxiety & depression) in a Phase III trial with obese patients. When an FDA panel unanimously rejected Sanofi’s application for Rimonabant (CB1 blocking). It cited sharp increase rates of anxiety, depression, SUICIDAL thoughts & mood disorders."

1:46 I look at the risk of the drug

"If I had MS my drug of choice, Cannabis try it. For every age related disease the drug that should be tried first in my opinion is Marijuana. Before you go to these dangerous Pharmaceuticals that often have nasty side effects this stuff is working not on one individual target it's working on your whole body. Remember the whole is greater than the sum of the parts, this stuff is working everywhere."

1:50 I look at the chance it's going to kill you

"To achieve fatal concentration of THC one may have to smoke around 680 kilograms (1500 pounds) of Cannabis, in under 15 minutes. Little wonder there no documented human fatalities from a THC overdose."

1:55 Research

Rick Simpson's Cancer Cure Hemp Oil is successful on all conditions (PMID: 18286801). Rick's method increases the healing properties of all 65+ Cannabinoids NOT just the 4 used in the 1975 Journal of the National Cancer Institute article called "Antineoplastic activity of Cannabinoids" (We investigated 4 cannabinoids for antineoplastic activity against 3 animal tumor models in vivo and for cytotoxic or cystostatic activity in two tumor cell lines and bone marrow cells in vitro).

2:16 Who is the Medical Marijuana user?

"From my opinion, once you realize the magnitude of the impact that Cannabis has in a positive sense for most people most of the time, on our biochemistry. It should really be considered a food and an essential nutrient. Cannabis is always involved in all those different things because it involves the immune system, the digestive system, cardiovascular system, skin, nervous system, endocrine system, essentially it is involved in everything."

3:25 Marijuana decreases drive for Opiates

"3 substances in chocolate and cocoa powder may mimic cannabinoid by activating receptors or increasing anandamide levels. Anandamide a lipid that binds to cannabinoid receptors and mimics the psychoactive effects of the drug. Chocolate is believed to enhance marijuana. A practical implication is the amount of marijuana needed may be DECREASED by using it with chocolate, reducing both the risks and cost associated with marijuana."

all in all, people who says marijuana is bad for health etc etc are quite stupid literally. no offense to non-user but all medication in this world are made out of drugs. in small quantity it helps the body to fight off some diseases but in large amount would surely kills. simple example would be taking alot of pain killers and you would do harm to ur body.

besides, marijuana is naturally grown without the need to chemically mix with other things like other conventional drugs ie medicine

thank you all

[hairtherapywrap]

Thank you so much for fighting for us, we the people! I was addicted to pain pills and havent had any in over 2 months! I also had breast cancer and am taking hash oil for the cannabanoids to kill off any cancer cells that might still be around instead of doing CHEMO & RADIATION & TAMOXIFEN which have ALL BEEN PROVEN TO CAUSE TUMORS! Medical Marijuana DOES NONE OF THOSE THINGS BUT HELP HEAL OUR MIND, BODY & SOULS....

GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE BROUGHT US THIS FAR!!!

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Marijuana could quite literally save the planet, but politicians would rather destroy it. What a sad world we live in.

There is another thing that's illegal that is huge. It is point of use energy. It would requre water storage of heat energy or ice. It would require a high efficiency steam engine genertor, and it would requre storing energy in compressed air, not batteries. If we do this we will only be irradiated by sunlight and we will run big energy out of business.

@hypnofan35 What is the actual definition of a drug anyway? I think it should be planted for emergency food... Just in case you want a hedge against going completely hungry for a year. Is it a food, is it a fiber, is it a pharmaceutical? It might be strongest as a food. Guerilla farm pot for emergency food supply.
