10 Billion Spent On Combating Marijuana? Lmfaoo!?

[[Proximo]]

Weed is so much better than alchohol.

You don't see people being violent to eachother when smoking pot.

 

[tradersboredom]

only high growth in industry in the US is narcotics industry.

Quote from bxptone:

THIS IS WHY AMERICA WILL FAIL, WHAT ASS BACKWARDS THINKING AND WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!!!

How many people have EVER overdosed smoking weed?
How many people enter the emergency room with a MARIJUANA EMERGENCY?!

Meanwhile the government will POSION ITS OWN CITIZENS THROUGH THE SALE OF CIGARETTES IN ORDER TO MAKE REVENUE THROUGH TAXES, FUCKING DISGUSTING. And when you die from smoking it's usually in the from of cancer or emphysema. So not only do you get charged an arm and a leg to smoke your whole life away, YOU GET TO BASICALLY SUFFOCATE TO DEATH THROUGH LUNG CANCER OR EMPHYSEMA.

NICEEEEEEEE

Anyone want to even try to estimate how many TRILLIONS of dollars it's cost Americans over the past say 60 years to treat lung cancer patients.

DO YOU KNOW THERE ARE REPORTS, FEDERAL REPORTS, THAT CLAIM MARIJUANA MIGHT PREVENT CANCER, TRUE FUCKING STORY.

CAN'T SMOKE WEED WHO MAKES PEOPLE RELAX, BUT DRINK AS MUCH FUCKING ALCHOL AS YOU CAN, SO YOU...

BEAT YOUR WIFE
GET HUNG OVER AND CAN'T PERFORM AT YOUR JOB
GET DRUNK, CRASH YOUR CAR AND KILL A FAMILY OF 5
DESTROY YOUR OWN FAMILY
GET ONE OF THE MANY DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH ALCHOLISM, SO AGAIN YOU CAN RAPE THE AMERICAN TAX PAYER/HEALTH CARE SYSTEM...

AND THEN WHEN YOU CAN'T STOP DRINKING, BECAUSE YOUR LIFE IS GOING DOWN THE TOILET, DONT TAKE ANY BLAME, CHALK IT UP TO SOME DISEASE SO YOU CAN DRINK THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AWAY! LMFAOOOOOOO

THIS COUNTRY IS AS ASS BACKWARDS AS IT GETS.

If illegal drugs were legalized tonight, in 2 weeks everyone of our major banks would have to shut their doors. They rely on that daily infusion of cash from the sellers.
The US Goverment couldn't come up with enough $$ to bail them out.
Then we'd see who really owns us.

 

[AlpineTrout]

It's very simple, if the government were to legalize drugs & prostitution and start the FairTax (which brings an end to the IRS), they wouldn't have much of a reason to get into our personal business, now would they.

All that simply takes away too much power.

Endocannabinoids in the retina: from marijuana to neuroprotection.

There is great interest in endocannabinoids for their role in neuroplasticity as well as for therapeutic use in numerous conditions, including pain, stroke, cancer, obesity, osteoporosis, fertility, neurodegenerative diseases, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma and inflammatory diseases, among others. However, there has been relatively far less research on this topic in the eye and retina compared with the brain and other organ systems.

US Patent 6630507: Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants

Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

9-Tetrahydrocannabinol Inhibits Cell Cycle Progression in Human Breast Cancer Cells through Cdc2 Regulation

It has been proposed that cannabinoids are involved in the control of cell fate. Thus, these compounds can modulate proliferation, differentiation, and survival in different manners depending on the cell type and its physiopathologic context. However, little is known about the effect of cannabinoids on the cell cycle, the main process controlling cell fate. Here, we show that {Delta}9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), through activation of CB2 cannabinoid receptors, reduces human breast cancer cell proliferation by blocking the progression of the cell cycle and by inducing apoptosis.

Cannabinoid receptor-independent cytotoxic effects of cannabinoids in human colorectal carcinoma cells: synergism with 5-fluorouracil.

Cannabinoids (CBs) have been found to exert antiproliferative effects upon a variety of cancer cells, including colorectal carcinoma cells. However, little is known about the signalling mechanisms behind the antitumoural effect in these cells, whether the effects are shared by endogenous lipids related to endocannabinoids, or whether such effects are synergistic with treatment paradigms currently used in the clinic.

Nontoxic Dose of Δ9-THC Kills Human Brain Tumor Cells

After 20 hours of treatment, Δ9-THC kills all cancer cells but leaves normal brain cells alive. Cell death is evidenced by cells shrinking to inanimate white spheres.

JunD is involved in the antiproliferative effect of Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol on human breast cancer cells.

It has been recently shown that cannabinoids, the active components of marijuana and their derivatives, inhibit cell cycle progression of human breast cancer cells. Here we studied the mechanism of Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) antiproliferative action in these cells, and show that it involves the modulation of JunD, a member of the AP-1 transcription factor family. THC activates JunD both by upregulating gene expression and by translocating the protein to the nuclear compartment, and these events are accompanied by a decrease in cell proliferation.

Reading some of the posts on this subject I can see some of the reasons our country is so screwed up.
Canibus people is not a narcotic by specific definition only by political definition and HEMP has no "drug" (as in smoke it to get a buzz) value.
Putting hemp in the 'drug" catagory is the same as putting water in the alcohol catagory simply because it is a liquid. That is an over exaggeration but I make my point.

So does junk food. So does the sun.

BTW, did you know you can overdose on water?
