There is a growing body of evidence that cannabinoids, the active ingredient in marijuana, stops or cures cancer. A lot of my analog buddies will be relived to hear this. As my reggae-loving buddy Angel used to say: “You smoke da irie, you feel irie.” Now enjoy the weekend, and turn those BlackBerries off.

The carbon monoxide in the smoke is good for you, too. Then there's the phenols and radon. Plus the saturated fats in the chips. There was a T-Shirt for sale in "Soldier of Fortune" for awhile which said: "ATF - Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. Who's bringing the chips?". My kind of weekend.

Do some quick searches in google, and you will find a ton of stuff published in responsible news sites, such as Forbes and the Washington Post.

Oxygen is the element with atomic number 8 and represented by the symbol O. It is a member of the chalcogen group on the periodic table, and is a highly reactive nonmetallic period 2 element that readily forms compounds (notably oxides) with almost all other elements

Yer brain wouldn't have receptors fer something it doesn't need now woould it? Cannabis is proof indeed that there is a god and he loves us very very much and wants us to be happy here on earth. Cannabis doesn't change much in a hundred years but check out the governments line of propaganda about it, 1st it made you mad (crazy) insane, then it made you homicidal (testimony before congress in the '30s by witnesses brought by H.Anslinger) then it made you a rapist, then it made you a heroin addict, then it made you "unmotivated" (gasp!!!)now , it makes you _______(insert current propaganda line here) Makes you wonder why they've spent in excess of 200 billion dollars trying to supress a plant that is useful, harmless and provides many people with employment, recreation, food and clothes. What sort of mad government treats its citizens like criminals and terrorizes them by taking their property, their livlihood, and their freedom for smoking, growing or selling a plant?
