    A friend of mine sent me this because he knows that i am very proactive for marijuana and believe that it is a good thing. He is basically trying to disprove what i think by using this article (hes an idiot). I have gone through the article and can already tell some things that are just down right wrong but others im unsure about. If someone from the community would be willing to take the time and dissect the article and present there findings i would be very grateful. I personally believe its the most bullshit in an article ive ever read.

    I won't completely dissect the article, but the general impression I get is the author specifically used opinions and findings which support his own negative opinions about marijuana. In plain and simple terms, this article is propaganda, not research.

    WOW!
    After reading this the first thing that came to my mind was the poor guy, Rich Deem, must have been locked in a room all of his life and forced to watch "Reefer Madness".

    What's really disturbing is that he uses the pulpit as a means to spread his vile message.

    This is exactly what i thought...i started to dissect the article then realize this is stupid bullshit that i was reading and threw it away after i printed it out. I couldnt find the exact right word besides bullshit but propaganda is what i was looking for. Thanks alot blades some people just cant be changed no matter how hard you try.

    I've been off all my pharmaceuticals for my Ulcerative Colitis for +4 years....and i've never been healthier. I'm no longer in constant pain from stomach cramps and i'm not on the toilet 15+ times per day. Also, before I was having flareups every 6 months and I haven't flared up in 4 years.

    That's enough proof for me.

    Big pharma made my life hell, MMJ brought back some normality.

    Thats wonderful BA! I think the living examples of people using marijuana are the best ones! Thanks for posting.

    Your brother does what my mom used to do about anything she thought was wrong with me =D

    I think MMJ is a good suppliment and can allow people to get off of medications. Like in the previous example by BA.
    For me, I'm almost completely off of my Zoloft. I still take other medications, but even if I miss some doses, the MMJ has mellowed me out and lowered my PTSD symptoms so much that I'm fairly normalized now.
    My mood swings are not as frequent, and I am much more productive at times, I'm being creative again, my pain levels are down, and I sleep much better which helps my mood and depression quite a bit, too! I dose with pot about 2-3 times a day.

    Your friend needs to let things be as they are, and just accept what you are supportive of. He doesn't have to be involved in it, talk to you about it, or be near any of it. I don't understand people...

    Yeah and what about all the deaths attributed to those damn prescription pills?


    also it seems like they're only talking about THC when CBD is what has the anti-psychotic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumorous properties...and they were also pretty much only talking about smoking it or thc-extracts. tsk tsk.
