New Scientist has a Marijuana Special Report. For those interested: http://www.newscientist.com/hottopics/marijuana/goingtopot.jsp
I can remember the "newscientist" being somewhat anti-marijuana . Are they still slanted towards false information ? Never mind ....I clicked the link.........they are !
A quote from NewScientist.com "Heavy users of marijuana who suddenly go cold turkey have aggressive impulses as powerful as those felt by people taking anabolic steroids." I consider myself a chronic user (hehe pun intended) of weed and I never once wanted to spindle anyone because I ran dry. Maybe I am an exception but that seem incorrect to me. Seems slanted just by looking at the inflammatory titles.
yeh your probably rite. that blurb did seem a bit overblown actually no, sod that. that quote you mentioned about steroids doesnt even feature in that article. what are u talking about???
Sorry bout that I re-read it and it wasnt very clear the article I quoted was a different one. I made a link to that article in my previous post. It caught my eye because the title was "Reefer Madness" and as you can see I have a bad case of it right now!!!
It's a little confusing to me ,because the site is registered to Reed Publishing. They seem to be more into registering web sites than anything else. The headlines at newscientist are designed to be inflamatory ,agreed ,and the information is for the most part unsubstantiated and subjective. What someone has read as opposed to what someone experienced or researched. (at least that appears to be the style used) Some of Reed Publishing's sites registered to them (this is by no means a conclusive list) are included below......Seems to me they are into a number of things. * * * * www.newscientist.com Registrant: New Scientist (NEWSCIENTIST-DOM) Reed Business Inforamtion Ltd.........(typo error) Quadrant House Sutton Surrey, SM2 5AS UK Domain Name: NEWSCIENTIST.COM * * * * www.lawmoves.co.uk inetnum: 194.203.155.0 - 194.203.155.255 netname: REED-BUS-PUB descr: Reed Business Publishing country: GB * * * * www.rati.com Registrant: Reed Aerospace (RATI-DOM) Quadrant House, Quadrant Sutton, Surrey SM2 5AS GB * * * * www.bankersalmanac.com Registrant: Reed Business Information (BANKERSALMANAC2-DOM) East Grinstead House East Grinstead West Sussex, RH19 1XA UK Domain Name: BANKERSALMANAC.COM Administrative Contact, Billing Contact: Dodd, Colin (CD6975) cdodd@REEDINFO.CO.UK Reed Business Information Windsor Court East Grinstead House East Grinstead West Sussex * * * * www.britishexports.com Registrant: reed information services (BRITISHEXPORTS-DOM) East Grinstead House East Grinstead, RH191XA UK Domain Name: BRITISHEXPORTS.COM Administrative Contact, Billing Contact: Dodd, Colin (CD6975) cdodd@REEDINFO.CO.UK Reed Business Information Windsor Court East Grinstead House East Grinstead West Sussex UK * * * * www.caterer.com Registrant: Reed Business Information (CATERER3-DOM) Quadrant House, The Quadrant Sutton,, Surrey SM2 5AS UK Domain Name: CATERER.COM * * * * www.chemicalinsight.com Registrant: Reed Business Publishing (CHEMICALINSIGHT-DOM) Quadrant House, Quadrant Sutton, Surrey SM2 5AS GB Domain Name: CHEMICALINSIGHT.COM Administrative Contact: Weston, Amanda (AW7828) amandaweston@RBI.CO.UK Reed Business Information Ltd The Quadrant, Quadrant House Sutton, SM2 5AS UK * * * * www.cnionline.com Registrant: Reed Business Publishing (CNIONLINE2-DOM) Quadrant House, Quadrant Sutton, Surrey SM2 5AS GB Domain Name: CNIONLINE.COM Administrative Contact: Weston, Amanda (AW7828) amandaweston@RBI.CO.UK Reed Business Information Ltd The Quadrant, Quadrant House Sutton, SM2 5AS UK * * * * www.community-care.co.uk person: Harriet Bourne address: Reed Business Publishing address: Quadrant House address: The Quadrant address: Sutton address: Surrey address: SM2 5AJ address: England, UK * * * * www.contractjournal.com Registrant: Reed Business Information Ltd (CONTRACTJOURNAL2-DOM) Quadrant House, The Quadrant Sutton, Surrey SM2 5AS UK * * * * www.cw360.com Registrant: Reed Business Information Ltd (CW46-DOM) Quadrant House The Quadrant Sutton SM2 5AS UK Domain Name: CW360.COM Administrative Contact, Billing Contact: Morris, Claire (CMS607) domreg@EASYNET.NET Reed Business Information Ltd Quadrant House The Quadrant Sutton * * * * www.doctorupdate.net Registrant: Reed Healthcare (DOCTORUPDATE-DOM) The Quadrant House Sutton, Surrey SM2 5AS UK * * * * www.electronicsweekly.co.uk person: Harriet Bourne address: Reed Business Publishing address: Quadrant House address: The Quadrant address: Sutton address: Surrey address: SM2 5AJ address: England, UK * * * * www.fwi.co.uk inetnum: 212.135.41.208 - 212.135.41.223 netname: REED-FM descr: Reed Business Information Ltd descr: Office descr: Sutton descr: Surrey country: GB * * * * www.freelanceinformer.co.uk inetnum: 194.203.155.0 - 194.203.155.255 netname: REED-BUS-PUB descr: Reed Business Publishing country: GB admin-c: HB393-RIPE tech-c: FF56-RIPE In any event I contacted the parent company of Reed Publishing Ltd. and courteously thanked them for supporting my cause ,of informing citizens of the 'truth' about how truely harmless/and extremely useful marijuana can be. roach
Now those are some words I have no trouble getting behind. Why are normally law abiding citizens FORCED to be criminals because of something that they like and or need (Medical) and harms NO ONE!
