so he wasnt smoking it, disappointed based on thread title

The pics of him in the hospital are heartbreaking - I can't imagine what it must be like to go through something like that - good for his dad for not taking no for an answer and doing what he felt was right for his son - amazing story - awesome that he's cancer-free now :)

A friend on Facebook posted an old article today from 2007 on a study that showed THC reduced lung cancer tumor growth by 50% in mice http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0417193338.htm i hope medical marijuana gets the attention and research it deserves in the future

has the dad been arrested yet?

People in power have one interest, well, two: Keeping power, and acquiring more, if possible. People that run the DEA, FDA, etc. are not in a position to want to give away their "hard earned" power by legalizing the medicine called marijuana. It would eliminate jobs from their organizations, take away enforcement funding, and lessen their power. I'd laugh, except it's so absurd, that I can't.

The government has become a cancer. Self interested in its own growth, collectively, with each niche department operating under the same premise. It's natural for this to occur. Since, I mean, the govt. dealing with 350 million people needs to be bigger than the govt. at the turn of the 19th century. But, the growth has gotten out of control. Cannabis regulation is but part and parcel of the larger governmental paradigm we operate under.

cannabis oil/THC is such an amazing medicine. we know so little about the absurd healing power of this "drug"

But this is the USA. It's all about money here. Fuck anything else. Fuck everything else. The government is for sale and the drug companies got the cash to buy every POS politician on Capitol Hill.

How come when I post videos of this I get flaimed? but when it's a little kid that is cured all of the sudden people open their eyes...well maybe bc I go about it the wrong way. lol this is a less drastic way of how I go about showing people the affects this drugs can have on sickness.

Big gov is a self-fulfilling prophecy imo

When people have the ability to vote themselves the authority to take from other people then yes, it is.

so you guys can clearly see that the govt is more concerned with gaining more power and stripping you of rights than it is providing you with a better life in a weed thread. But when its pointed out in "other" threads its a conspiracy. such amazing irony

What are you smoking? Please hook it up. Send me a lil taste. What you've "pointed out" in other threads is nothing close to what we are discussing ITT.

I didn't read this, but I want McGehee, Uggla, or Holliday. I have pitching. Let's make it happen.

Sigh. Logan Morrison and Orlando Hudson will be back soon enough to at least fill my empty spots.
