Thread: Cannabis compound 'halts cancer'

Here's something else of interest...

Cannabis-like chemicals in the brain play a key role in erasing nasty memories, a study has found. Researchers in Germany have found that cannabinoids, produced naturally in the brain, help to manage fear.
They believe that a lack of these chemicals may explain why some people have difficulty forgetting painful events and suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder or phobias.

The finding might have implications for treating anxiety disorders in humans

Dr Pankaj Sah, Australian National University
The researchers suggest that new drugs to increase the production of cannibanoids in the brain could help these patients to forget their painful memories.

Au Contraire' Given the constant need for excessive drug use by the addict suffering from the disease of addiction, Pot actually is a safe place addicts can return to between runs on H, Booze, meth, where they sleep, and begin to eat again and not totaly sober. The most self destructive addicts don't smoke Pot, they usually say they never liked it. Many of those addicts suffer greatly and die.

As far as pot being a gateway drug, 10% of our population has a genetic presdisposition towards addiction, I'm one of those. Life is a gateway to drugs for people like me. For years Pot has gotten a bad rap due to guilt by association. The 10% like me will become addicted to anything, gambling, sex, food, drugs, and it's just the way the disease of addiction is. With exceptions of course. The other 90% will get turned off eventually, they'll say "why am I hanging with low lives", or "fuck am I hung over", or "this shit costs too much"....basically the stuff addicts are incapable of saying.

Pot is not good for 10% addicts, abstinance from everything is thier only hope of dying old and happy. This fact should not ruin it for the other 90% of Americans. And WTF it's legal in British Columbia, all hell hasn't broken loose there.

Very good point. The addictive personality needs whatever their fix is. I've smoked cannabis for years and then quit for several more. There's that "damn wish I had a joint" phase for about a day then oh well on with life.
The truth is in a book by Jack Herer called "The Emperor Wears No Cloths" it was about economics not addiction that helped ban Cannabis, btw he'll give you $100,000. if you prove him wrong...

Yummy, I just smoked some "medicine" between that and the turkey my home smells yummy!

I'm talking about the same old bullcrap "Oh if you smoke dope you'll be a lazy hippy" Look around you there are professional people who smoke on a daily basis but unfortunately if they talked about it their reputation, and probably their career, would be ruined. That doesn't sound very democratic to me.

If you don't want to smoke it thats fine with me but if your going to talk about it at least tell the truth...

Now see if you can put three paragraphs together in a logical reply...

Here is an article from a few months ago. I have had 3 back surgery's and broke my neck once. I use pot as I said earlier, partially for kicks, partially for pain relief. The alternative is Vicodin, that shit will fuck your mind in a hurry. There are other medications that I have prescribed to me for all this also, guess what, I ain't taking them. Now must open beer load pipe...

Cheers...
