sorry for your loss FW...

morphine, valium, oxy ect, all have withdrawl times and symptoms as well.. and some of them arent pretty either (relative to heroin withdrawls).... i know a few people that have diseases from AIDS to cancer and everything inbetween, and me and the families of some of them think that the drugs themselves may have been part of what killed some of them....

thats part of the problem here...

for nearly every "drug" there are side effects... weed has what, 2, dry mouth and stoned.... ok 3, hunger...

thats whats so stupid about Marinol, they synthetically make it, and its got some serious side effects in some people, so now they need new drugs to treat the side effects, and drugs to stop the side effects from those, and then you have people that end up taking 30 prescriptions a day.... all to battle something that 1 simple thing could alleviate...

in the beginning of the video i posted, they talk about how its all gone about with MJ in this country... before the wars the US was all about hemp, and MJ and what it could do for the good... they made a video about it called "Hemp for Victory".... after the war, they found out (yeah just came up with a conclusion) that weed didnt make you a savage murderous killing machine, but a pacifist, and that the "enemy" was giving weed to soldiers to take away the fight in them... after the war, NO MORE WEED ITS BAD....

Regan ran some stupid tests on how weed kills your brain cells, with monkeys... they "fed" monkeys 30 joints a day for 30 days, and after 90 days, the monkeys started dying, and a ton of brain cells were killed off... its what they didnt say thats suprising...

it wasnt 30 joints a day for a years span, like the test was supposed to be about.....

after a bunch of bitching from citizens about the reports and findings and such, they released the info on it....

they built a make shift gas mask, and pumped the monkeys with 63 "columbian strength" joints, in a period of 5 minutes... every single day, somtimes more than once...

and they wonder why the monkeys died...

basically what they were doing, is suffocating them, and when there is lack of oxygen in the brain, it shuts down, and brain cells die off, and then you die.... there isnt a air breathing creature on this earth that
could endure breathing straight smoke for 5 minutes every day without some sort of repercussions... so those tests are all garbage science at its finest....

another good doc to watch is the Rick Simpson Story : "Run from the Cure"... he has helped people with his oils he makes and some have been ridded of serious cancers.. not everyone has responded the same tho, Tommy Chong is one of them...

Mr. Simpson got screwed as well, during his trails, he was not allowed to have doctors that said he was right, testify in court... he lost...

watch that one too
