2. an excellent article is ...
here!

"Forget the stereotype about dopey potheads. It seems marijuana could be good for your brain.

While other studies have shown that periodic use of marijuana can cause memory loss and impair learning and a host of other health problems down the road, new research suggests the drug could have some benefits when administered regularly in a highly potent form."

5. Hubby has a liver ailment
and our doctor is just fine with him toking up a couple times a day....says it can't hurt a thing and may help. Alcohol, on the other hand, is a no no.:hi:

7. Anything that uses smoke as a delivery medium is bad for you...
...without exception. A little pot now and then used by a responsible adult, sure- no big deal. But the idea that pot, or any other recreation is some sort of wonder-behavior is silly.

9. there is literally not a single case of lung cancer associated with pot
Even heavy smoking.

Cannabis truly is a wonderful plant with more benefits than negatives.

10. Pot has recreational and medicinal uses...
The two are not mutually exclusive.

Nothing silly about it. You are mis-informed.

12. and some nutritional info...
can be found {link:www.mojo.calyx.net/~olsen/HEMP/IHA/iha03101.html|here.]

snip/
While the whole seed has long been used as a source of food, its potential health contribution has never gained much attention. Hemp seed shares with no other plant resource, both a high content of easily digestible complete protein and a rich endowment of oil providing a favorable ratio of the linoleic (C18:2w6) and linolenic (C18:3w3) essential fatty acids required for proper human nutrition, in addition to a significant contribution of gamma-linolenic (C18:3w6) acid of potential therapeutic efficacy. With a recently acquired knowledge concerning the importance of these fatty acids in the human diet, it is time to both intensify research on their variable occurence among varieties of hemp seed, and investigate methods of oil extraction and storage suitable for their preservation.....

13. Side Note- Jack Herer
Jack Herer has been honored with the naming of a strain after him. the Jack Herer strain is extremely potent strain of marijuana, particularly sativa, but i believe 15-20% indica. Bred from different strands of haze , with a hazy.. peppery taste.. Pungent skunky smell, red cylonic like nugglets on the bud, and in large quantities has a red haze to it.
