The NY Times calls for end of Marihuana Prohibition

Repeal Prohibition, Again

It took 13 years for the United States to come to its senses and end Prohibition, 13 years in which people kept drinking, otherwise law-abiding citizens became criminals and crime syndicates arose and flourished. It has been more than 40 years since Congress passed the current ban on marijuana, inflicting great harm on society just to prohibit a substance far less dangerous than alcohol.

The federal government should repeal the ban on marijuana.

We reached that conclusion after a great deal of discussion among the members of The Times’s Editorial Board, inspired by a rapidly growing movement among the states to reform marijuana laws.

There are no perfect answers to people’s legitimate concerns about marijuana use. But neither are there such answers about tobacco or alcohol, and we believe that on every level — health effects, the impact on society and law-and-order issues — the balance falls squarely on the side of national legalization. That will put decisions on whether to allow recreational or medicinal production and use where it belongs — at the state level.

Genetically Engineering Cannabis for the Pharmaceuticals

Genetically Engineering Cannabis for the Pharmaceuticals

One way this is already happening is in a secret lab in the South of England, GW Pharmaceuticals, which extracts, refines and studies the plant in their six different greenhouses, where they raise 10,000 plants each. At this undisclosed location, GW uses genetic engineering to create modified varieties and then clones each strain. They are already marketing one of their genetically engineered cannabis products in Canada as a sublingual (under the tongue) spray for treating muscle spasms associated with multiple sclerosis.

If the cloned strains were to cross pollinate with naturally-occurring strains, we could easily see the organic cannabis plants compromised and ultimately eliminated. As the story of GMO corn demonstrates, with companies driven by profit and control, this threat to corner the market is not one we should take lightly. Read the whole article here

 

Citicoline

One of the main problems of taking a gram of cannabis oil is the high. Some people have a high tolerance but most don’t. I was glad to come upon this article of a supplement which is non-toxic and will soften the high. Here is a link to an article about it.

Citicoline is a brain chemical that occurs naturally in the body and increases a chemical called phosphatidylcholine that is important for brain function. A 10% loss of citicoline is sufficient to alter brain cell membrane function and induce neuron cell death. When taken as a supplement Citicoline is hydrolyzed into choline and cytidine in the intestine. Once these cross the blood-brain barrier it is reformed into citicoline. As a medicine, it is taken as a supplement, given by IV or as an injection to treat dementia, head trauma, cerebrovascular disease such as stroke, age-related memory loss, Parkinson’s disease, ADHD and glaucoma. 

Brain injury and cannabis

Published on May 12, 2014

Debbie Wilson suffered brain injuries 25 years ago and in the last few years has regained her mental and physical faculties thru the use of cannabis. A must watch, it shows how amazing this medicine is even for brain injuries.

 

CANCER IS CURABLE NOW FULL DOCUMENTARY

There are so many toxins in our environment and in most consumer goods that it is really hard to live a healthy life. I do believe that we need to try harder. We need to take responsibility for our own health. Just think what changes would incur  in your life if you or a close family member is struck by cancer.

Literally from one day to the next my whole life changed. It became a full-time job to take care of my sweet man and somehow I made the time and he also had and still has to be aware every day what he puts into his body and mind. Prevention is so much easier, not always a guarantee, but still if you already have adopted much of the right way of living, it is so much easier to tighten up and add more  to your protocol when your body gets sick. Now all of a sudden you will make the time.  Why not do it before ill-health forces you too.

This video is self empowering and gives hope that not only we can beat cancer but prevent it from happening.
