Marijuana Legalization

For sure more open. I bet it will be legal in Cali where I live 10 years max. But it so is censored on the radio here. What state you live in?

 

One of the morning shows on the radio, here on the east coast, before comercial breaks they always say smoke weed.

 

I don't know, I thought the recent Weed Wars and American Weed series on TV was a disgrace and an insult. I'm pretty sure it didn't do us any good, maybe even damaged the movement.

Once the medical facts about cannabis become known, the need for legalization becomes obvious!

Want to speed the day when you can light up without fear? Become an activist!

Write those politicians- even the bone-headed republicans! Their minds CAN be changed!

Cross, R-Oswego, had opposed the legislation in the past, but changed his mind after hearing from constituents and members of the medical community, spokeswoman Sara Wojcicki said.

Just make a quick form letter like this-

Dear __________, I support the legalization of marijuana, and you should, too! We all fear Alzheimer's, yet because of the prohibition of cannabis, our seniors are forced to make do with a second rate drug, Aricept!

From a WebMD article-
Marijuana May Slow Alzheimer's

[FONT=&quot]Marijuana May Slow Alzheimer's[/FONT]

"THC blocks an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase, which speeds the formation of amyloid plaque in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease.

The Alzheimer's drugs Aricept and Cognex work by blocking acetylcholinesterase. When tested at double the concentration of THC, Aricept blocked plaque formation only 22% as well as THC, and Cognex blocked plaque formation only 7% as well as THC.

"THC and its analogs may provide an improved [treatment for] both the symptoms and progression of Alzheimer's disease," the researchers conclude."

You or a loved one may some day face Alzheimer's. Will you settle for a second-rate drug, when a clearly superior natural herbal medicine is available?

And then there is the online news- a great place to educate folks! I just LOVE it when some idiot makes a claim that "Pot causes cancer! Then I post up titles of studies like

(abst - 2007)
{Delta}-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol inhibits growth and metastasis of lung cancer. -- Preet et al. 2007 (1): 4749 -- AACR Meeting Abstracts

Or
Antitumor Activity of Plant Cannabinoids with Emphasis on the Effect of Cannabidiol on Human Breast Carcinoma (full - 2006) Antitumor Activity of Plant Cannabinoids with Emphasis on the Effect of Cannabidiol on Human Breast Carcinoma

Then I invite everyone to look them up and read them!

There are many ways that you can be an activist with little or no risk to yourselves! I know, because I do it every day. If it were known I even use cannabis, I would lose my job. But cannabis is so much more than "just" a way to get high! It is a powerful healing herb that deserves to be as legal as ginseng!

2012 is supposed to be a year of change. Let's change things for the better! Be an activist!
