Also from the wonderful Free Thought Project. Newly elected Houston DA Kim Ogg rightly sees the insanity of jailing pot smokers next to murderers and thieves and will make every effort to prevent that from happening. How will the Trump regime react to these increasing anti-prohibition rebellions?
Free Thought Project. “I’m gonna make it hurt!” Psychos like this are purposely selected by police departments. And as this video makes painfully clear, the violent temperament is brought home.
High Times:“All humans have what’s called an endocannabinoid system, comprised of receptors that fit these cannabinoids like a lock fits a key, and this endocannabinoid system regulates many vital systems in the body—including respiratory, circulatory and neurological. Which means, if that system malfunctions and cannabinoids are not brought into the body from the outside (by smoking/vaping/eating cannabis) to return it to balance, the negative consequences can be severe, or even life-threatening.
Dr. Ethan Russo first articulated this idea of “clinical endocannabinoid deficiency” (CECD) in a 2004 scientific paper, describing a condition that contributes to high levels of cancer and degenerative diseases,inflain such as Alzheimer’s, inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s and rheumatoid arthritis. With the research to back it up, he’s basically claiming that a lack of cannabis can be the underlying cause of these and many other potentially deadly conditions.
Now imagine that the preventative cure for all of these painful, heartbreaking outcomes could lie in the cannabis plant being widely used as a dietary supplement, much as lemons and limes ended scurvy over two hundred years ago.”
