Quote of the Day:

One must care about the truth to seek it, and one must not care about the truth to find it.

    1. Fair point
      But when you can’t grow the stuff yourself legally, it is also fair point to say that the government is coercing one to not make the drug part of your diet. And to be fair, many governments threaten people that would benefit from marijuana derived drugs because governments have decided they are illegal. Why illegal?

      1. well no
        That’s a red herring. The people who want to grow the stuff at home are not interested in the health effects on their neurons. A few of them are interested in pain management, the vast majority are in it for the recreational effect. They are as interested in brain health as the Intelligent Design crowd is interested in science.

        1. feel good man
          Some things in your diet make you feel good. Red Herrings taste great 🙂 The recreational effect you speak of makes it sound like one cannot gain positive life affirming effects from things which attract for other reasons. Chocolate, for example, tastes great and has a recreational effect for a lot of people, more so if they are already stoned, but chocolate has all sorts of positive health effects. It does not matter one iota the reason why people take these substances in their diets – it still remains none of governments business. Busy body 😛 Too many red herrings in your diet 😉

          1. recreation is healthy
            I am not disputing, at all, the benefits of recreational effects in general, or this one in particular. Lowers the blood pressure, those kinds of things. It is just that saying that this pro-marijuana people looking out for scientific ways to improve people’s health is utter crap.

            I like herrings, but I always get hungry again very quickly. Salmon snacks or calamari works much better for me.
