I'm currently in Colorado and I have seen more weed/pot shops than any other type of business.

We are just laughing about how the state was a leader in alternative energy, and now it's the leader in alternative medicine.

I heard something about Oregon is trying to pass cigarettes as prescription only? I have nothing against any of it but I find it funny how things work.

Sean, that is too funny! OMG! The one on the left is acting all paranoid while the other one is chillin'.rollinglol

Speeding Sport, I heard something about that kind of cigarette law. Kind of an oxymoron isn't it? I highly doubt they will get that through, but who can tell. Much more of this BS killing our rights, I may have to become an International Citizen!:pirate:

Came across this on dailypaul.com and decided to share.

U.S. Government owns the patent on cannabis cures... | Peace . Gold . Liberty (http://www.dailypaul.com/153097/us-government-owns-the-patent-on-cannabis-cures)

For those of you who still have any doubts as to the miraculous healing powers of cannabis and THC Oil or do not believe that there is an ongoing international effort dead set on keeping this free and 100% organic medicine, along with all organic foods, supplements, and natural medicines from a diseased and dying global population... I am about to BLOW YOUR MINDS......

On October 7, 2003 The United States Government as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services was granted a U.S. Patent (#6630507) on any and all uses and applications of: Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants.

[link to patft.uspto.gov (http://godlikeproductions.com/external?http%3A%2F%2Fpatft.uspto.gov%2Fnetacgi%2F nph-Parser%3FSect1%3DPTO1%26Sect2%3DHITOFF%26d%3DPALL% 26p%3D1%26u%3D%252Fnetahtml%252FPTO%252Fsrchnum.ht m%26r%3D1%26f%3DG%26l%3D50%26s1%3D6630507.PN.%26OS %3DPN%252F6630507%26RS%3DPN%252F6630507)]

In other words, THE GOVERNMENT ALREADY OWNS THE ORGANIC THC OIL BY FORCE... and now THEY OWN THE SYNTHETIC THC OIL BY PATENT... along with any and all combinations of the beneficial compounds found in cannabinoids. As you read through this document you will discover beyond any doubt whatsoever that cannabis has a tremendous variety of medicinal values and applications specific and provable enough to be granted a U.S. Patent, yet the Judicial Branch of our government continues to classify cannabis as a Schedule 1 Controlled Substance

[link to en.wikipedia.org (http://godlikeproductions.com/external?http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FCo ntrolled_Substances_Act)]

How can they possibly say that cannabis has no medicinal qualities while at the same time they hold a patent that describes in great detail so many of the proven medicinal qualities that actually DO exist in cannabis?

There has been an ongoing effort to eliminate this ridiculous classification by a wide variety of activists and organizations for decades now but to date... the government holds all the cards and rules with a closed mind and an iron fist.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Removal_of_cannabis_from_Schedule_I_of_the_Control led_Substances_Act

The Abstract of the patent reads as follows:

Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism.

(The NMDA receptor is one of two kinds of receptors activated by glutimates).

This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of a wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and auto-immune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia.

Nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil (mis-spelled in document - should read cannabidiol), are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention. A particular disclosed class of cannbinoids useful as neuroprotective antioxidants is formula (1) wherein the R group is independently selected from the group consisting of H, CH.sub3, and COCH.sub3. ##STR1##

In other words, it is useful to separate the natural components and use higher concentrations of the beneficial compounds found in cannabis (the R group) to act as antioxidants and neuroprotectants within the human body. Cannabidiol is designed and being engineered to provide all the benefits of organic cannabis without the psychoactive "high" associated with the drug. This will allow them to continue patenting their product while demonizing cannabis in the media and courts and keeping this pure and natural medicine illegal and unavailable.

Be sure to take the time to scroll down and read through this patent and you will discover what a miracle plant cannabis really is. You will be asking yourself... "What can't it do?" as application after application is described in great detail about the medicinal properties and natural treatment potentials of cannabis. Ask yourselves "Why are multinational corporations allowed to continually market dangerous and untested poisons, toxins and industrial waste products described as food additives and incorporate them into our processed food supply while you and I face arrest and incarceration for simply growing and selling organic foods and medicines?"

I have a cholesterol problem and was placed on a statin that caused extremely elevated CPK levels. I now take vitamin B-3 (niacin) which works better than statins.

There are very few prescription drugs I would ever even consider taking and at the moment I can't think of one that I want to. I lean first towards alternative treatments and dietary changes. Something to remember when going the alternative route; it usually takes years to get ill or sick, so don't expect an overnight cure to your wellness. Even if you have what is considered bad habits, get yourself on some super-foods. You will be thankful.

And if a little weed does the trick and it's legal where you live, why not. I haven't did any of it in years but after hearing Larry W. and others testimonies, I have turned back to being an advocate of it.

Thanks for the that info Ken. It was an interesting read. I still enjoy a good scotch now and then but a nice little toke is my pain reliever of choice as it is with many of my peers. Sure enjoy your input on the site, keep up the good work. Just read where our beloved (supposedly going broke) U.S. Postal service was a $30 million "investor" in the Lance Armstrong Team! Are you kidding me? I'm getting so tired of listening to those lying corrupt jerks in D.C. I think I'll just go outside the coach and indulge in 3 of my bad habits!
