 REPPED: Medical researchers are once again warning about the long-term memory effects of smoking marijuana. Toking on the herb for decades apparently makes your memory, well, dopey. That is, if you believe the study which was based on 40 people found in a drug rehabilitation program who said they only smoked marijuana about 20 times in their entire life.
Right. I've never heard of anyone checking into a rehab center after smoking pot only 20 times. |
| Again, I'm not supporting marijuana. You probably already know that I use absolutely no drugs, not even the psychoactive drug used by 53% of Americans (caffeine). But when I see loony, pseudoscientific attacks on marijuana that demonstrate a clear double standard in our national drug policy, I simply have to point it out. In my view, we should be arresting and locking up the Big Pharma executives and corrupt FDA officials who continue to push dangerous drugs that KILL 100,000 Americans each year. |

 Many marijuana users tend to be imbalanced in histamine. The marijuana mellows them out, as it does block histamine. It blocks it so well that a person who has used marijuana for a long time can lose his or her zest for life; histamine levels get extremely low. Histamine fires all the neurotransmitters in the brain, so loading them up is one thing but getting them to fire is another. To reload histamine, to raise those levels, you use B3, B12, folic acid, and histidine. Within weeks, the marijuana user may be back to feeling normal again.
Alcoholics say they have been anxious since childhood. |

| Even though Ambien is clearly far more dangerous than marijuana, you don't see people being arrested for taking Ambien. You don't see our prisons packed top to bottom with people who possessed Ambien. And you don't see doctors -- who sold the drug to patients -- charged with dealing drugs.
That's because when it comes to dangerous drugs, there's a clear double standard: All prescription drugs, no matter how dangerous to individual health or public safety, shall remain legal. All drugs that are not controlled by Big Pharma, on the other hand, shall be made illegal. |
| But when I see loony, pseudoscientific attacks on marijuana that demonstrate a clear double standard in our national drug policy, I simply have to point it out. In my view, we should be arresting and locking up the Big Pharma executives and corrupt FDA officials who continue to push dangerous drugs that KILL 100,000 Americans each year. If you really want to protect the public from dangerous drugs, start arresting and prosecuting the truly dangerous drug dealers -- the ones operating under the FDA protection racket. |
| If you think marijuana destroys your memory, you should try statin drugs sometime. They can destroy a person's normal brain function in mere months, leaving them in a drug-induced stupor that makes potheads look downright clever.
Or how about the sleeping drug, Ambien, that's causing people to engage in "sleep driving" (sleep walking while driving a car), where they cause major traffic accidents. |

 I don't know, but our government actually maintains that marijuana is the most commonly used illegitimate drug."
"What about underage drinking," she replied. "That's just as illegitimate and far more dangerous."
She was right, of course. Claiming that marijuana is more dangerous for kids than drinking is symptomatic of public health shortsightedness and stupid public policy.
At any rate, following marijuana in danger is the so-called nonmedical prescription use of natural (e.g., codeine) and semisynthetic narcotic pain relievers. |

 It is not marijuana! Although both are related to the plant Cannabis sativa, industrial hemp, from which food products are produced, is very different. It contains minute (less than 1%) amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (thc), the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. The story of how this confusion came about is interesting, and in retrospect, sad and infuriating for the health of people and for the economy of North America.
Prior to the U.S. marijuana Tax Act of 1937, hemp was widely grown and used mainly for making rope, cloth, and paper. |

Right. I've never heard of anyone checking into a rehab center after smoking pot only 20 times. And besides, if pot destroys a person's memory as researchers claim it does, how do they know these people haven't smoked pot a thousand times and just can't remember?
Let's face it: Basing research on the personal memories of people who scientists claim have had their memories destroyed is not exactly good science. |

 I have seen patients who have spent years smoking marijuana. They often come to us slightly paranoid. They smoke themselves into a partial lobotomy because right-side feelings are activated by marijuana, while the left-side control mechanisms are diminished. This unleashes feelings, which rise to the prefrontal cortex to be twisted into strange, highly suspicious ideas. These ideas are an attempt to deal with surging internal forces. What are those forces? For example, if one feels unloved early on, marijuana will unlock those feelings. They rise, but not directly; rather, they are filtered. |

Prior to the U.S. marijuana Tax Act of 1937, hemp was widely grown and used mainly for making rope, cloth, and paper. Hemp is the world's strongest and most durable soft natural fiber. |
| This campaign was so fierce and effective that the word "hemp" became synonymous with the slang word "marijuana," and resulted in the U.S. government prohibition of 1937. The confusion over hemp versus marijuana remains to this day, especially in North America, but it is beginning to change.
While the development of a hemp industry is severely restricted in the United States, today industrial hemp is cultivated in many countries, among them Canada, China, Russia, Hungary, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Spain, England, and Poland.
"So what are the benefits of hemp?" you may ask. |

 In India marijuana is used to prepare bhang, an herbal milkshake that is traditionally served at wedding banquets to produce great joy. The seeds have no psychoactive properties and are rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids.
Other Uses
Marijuana seeds were first brought to the Americas in 1632 by the Pilgrims. By 1762 Virginia farmers were being penalized for not growing this plant, as it was such an economically important crop. The stalks of the plant produce a very strong fiber that can be used to make cloth, rope, and paper. |

 Cannabis, which is used to produce Hashish and marijuana, is a close relative of hops. The relaxing effect that beer has on the consumer comes from the hops ingredient hopein, among other substances. Hopein is a form of morphine.
With the exception of Muslim countries, beer consumption is legal, yet taking morphine, marijuana, or other hallucinogenic drugs is treated as a criminal act. If a person regularly gets drunk by drinking large quantities of beer, he is not less "out of himself or physically and mentally incompetent than he would be under drug-induced hallucination. |

 On the drug front, there was a collective revulsion against the psychedelic experimentation of the 1960s, the marijuana clouds of the 1970s, the cocaine-fueled excesses of the early 1980s. By the late 1980s, mainstream America had had enough of cocaine in the bathroom at yuppie parties, of LSD in college, of marijuana in the suburbs, and certainly, of heroin and crack in the streets. There was a particular revulsion against intravenous street drugs, and the new plague, HIV and AIDS, associated with them. |

| Between 1840 and 1900 over a hundred published medical papers recommended marijuana leaf to aid sleep, calm the nerves, relieve pain and nausea, and stimulate appetite. The leaves are not psychoactive unless processed with heat, such as by cooking them in oil, although vaporizing is a new technique that does not burn the herb and reduces smoke inhalation.
Though marijuana is most often smoked to achieve therapeutic effect, it can also be consumed as food, tinctured, encapsulated, or made into a sublingual spray. |

At any rate, following marijuana in danger is the so-called nonmedical prescription use of natural (e.g., codeine) and semisynthetic narcotic pain relievers. About 30 million persons aged 12 or older (13% of the population) have used prescription pain relievers "nonmedically" in their lifetime. The number of drug abusers is increasing—rapidly. |

 Not To Be Confused With: Prior to being used as a narcotic, marijuana was often combined with Nicotiana tabacum, Lavandula officinalis, Nepeta catarina or Origanum vulgare. It is possible to confuse marijuana with varieties of Urtica, Moraceae, Ulmaceae and Boraginaceae. |

 Proponents of legalizing marijuana rarely address the well-demonstrated fact that tetrahyrocannibol in the marijuana leaf is very genotoxic; that is, it causes the DNA to break in multiple areas.
This means that because you have chosen to smoke marijuana, your children's DNA may be permanently damaged. Other such drugs may also endanger the sperm's genetic integrity. Even smoking is genotoxic because of the large number of free radicals generated by chemicals in cigarette smoke. |

 The alkaloids in the marijuana smoke neutralize the acid condition, relax the body and tune one into a resonant consciousness. But smoking marijuana actually perpetuates the same biochemistry that created the desire for alkalinity (alkaloids), Because smoking marijuana interferes with the ability of the blood to carry sugar. The more one smokes, the more sugar the body desires, Also, the higher one goes the more acid-forming foods the body asks for (dehydrated crackers, nuts, seeds, olives, avocados) to come down. |

 Research into cannabinoids, hormones made from omega-6 fatty acids primarily in the liver and kidney, started when scientists wanted to know why marijuana caused the munchies (marijuana being the cannabis plant; hence the name). What they found: The cannabinoid system has receptors that can be produced and destroyed quickly. The ones in the brain make you stalk the fridge at midnight. But the more dangerous receptors are produced in omental fat—that's the fat around your belly. |

 Again, the biologically oriented disciples protest that this is because schizophrenics are drawn to marijuana to help mask their suffering, but the prospective research designs and the dose-response findings have now overcome this argument. No, marijuana stresses the brain and makes it more susceptible to losing touch with reality.
Experimental Studies Using Animals
That experimental animal studies have found stress can lead to severe mental collapse gives great weight to a stress model as well. |

 If you think the prisons are full enough right now from all the arrests for marijuana possession and other victimless crimes, just wait until the State starts arresting all the natural health moms and dads across the country who refuse to participate in the utterly insane and extremely harmful system of medicine that now dominates U.S. health care today.
The State is very clear about medicine: If you want to remain a free citizen, you must submit to the synthetic drugs made by the very same corporations that now control government health regulators. |
