Another new study??

OK it's from FauxNews so what do you expect but this study http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,304658,00.html states that if you smoke a little pot there is no effect on pain, if you smoke a moderate amount the pain is reduced, but OH NO! if you smoke a lot the pain actually increases. Such a large study must be conclusive, oh wait a second, there were only 15 test subjects in the study. Pain was induced by injecting the active ingredient in peppers into the patient and I would guess subjectively asking them how much it hurt. So I guess they have shown that medical marijuana doesn't work. NOT!

1. This makes me think of a conversation I had with my Dad the other

day. We were wondering what the next "war on..." will be. One benefit (well, for lack of a better word) of the bushler admin, is it has turned my Dad around from years of rw dittohead indoctrination. He was actually the one who brought up the subject of the wars on terra and drugs being as wasteful and destructive as the war on alcohol had been. He still lives in Anaheim, Ca, and he got on the subject by first asking how helpful the National Guard could have been if they were home in Cali, instead of the mess they're in in Iraq. Anyway, I personally long for the day we have candidates with the brains and the guts to call for an end to both these current "wars on".

2. Doesn't pot reduce ciruculation?

If blood flow is reduced it seems natural that the pain wouldn't imporve much.

Maybe if some sugar was consumed, to increase it back to a normal rate? Please, I know nothing of physiology. Don't take my advice.
