I am a Medical Marijuana advocate in Texas, working to relax these absolutely insane laws regarding marijuana. In fact, I went just last week to talk to Representative John Culberson (Texas' 7th District) office. I have four family members living in his District so I went on their behalf. I personally live in Tom DeLay's district and well, we currently are a district without Representation!!!!
Having MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and early-osteo-arthritis, I would like to see laws changed as my condition changes too. I have more than just one friend who uses it to help ease their conditions.
Anyhow, I guess they can't say that it causes lung cancer anymore!!!! Um, 22,000 joints in a lifetime is like, a LOT!!!!!!!
That's the equivelant of smoking a joint a day for 60+ years, or two joints a day for 30+ years.
Tobacco on the other hand is an entirely different story.
Apparently, there is an ingredient in one of marijuana's cannaboids that apparently kills off older cells, which are more prone to cancer.
Interesting stuff. Hey, when my father, who is 77 years old and remembers the "Canabis Elixers" behind the pharmacy counter when he was growing up, says, "Legalize it" he means it!!!!! He does not use it but believes it should be available. I think after battling cancer for the last 15 years he has the Right to speak up.
Interesting that one of the News articles that pops up is about the dangers of cell phones.
CELL PHONE ADDICTED BOYS Cell phone-dependent high school boys have small but higher rates of mental health problems such as depression, anxiety and low self-esteem compared with their peers.....
Enough said!!!!
