1. K&R !!!

[ladywnch]

2. where did this come from?

I love it, but before I share it with my family I'd like to know who put it together.

[Faux pas]

3. I think it was originally on the history channel. I will try to hunt it down

and post it.

[ladywnch]

16. 'ppreciate it. n/t

[Faux pas]

20. Okay ladywnch, from what I could gleen from the info I hunted down,

it's and independant film that screens in different theaters. I found the fb page for it, 'What if cannabis cured cancer?'.
I'd post the link but I don't know how to do it without it showing my fb page.

I guess I made the 'assumption' that it was the history channel was because Peter Coyote has done a lot of work for them. Didn't mean to lead you astray, k?

Peace

[ladywnch]

25. no worries. I'll dig from there... thanks for the info. n/t

[Faux pas]

26. You're welcome. n/t

4. Excellent! Thanks for posting this.

I use cannabis daily in lieu of the "pharmaceutical-based paradigm." It has lowered my blood pressure dramatically, alleviated orthopedic pain, and improved my general sense of well-being.

k&r

[Faux pas]

10. And heaven forbid you use something that helps you feel better, huh?

Down With Big Pharma and Up With Marijuana!
(I just made that up)

18. After over thirty years of not indulging. Two months ago I started using it for my pain.

I can actually go out and enjoy being with my horses again. I just feel better. And this summer for the first time in 5 years I plan on getting back in the saddle. It has really helped my leg and foot pain.

5. This is an outstanding video! I watched the entire thing and I didn't need any popcorn.

Thanks for the thread, Faux pas.

[Faux pas]

12. You're Welcome, for sure.

[RainDog]

6. Thanks!

would you mind cross-posting this in the Drug Policy Forum? If you posted it with the title of the vid instead, that would help locate it for future reference.

[Faux pas]

9. Done, thank you for the suggestion!

I'm still blindly fumbling my way around the 'new' DU.

[RainDog]

11. I've been trying to use the Drug Policy Forum as a way to archive info

it moves much slower and has much less traffic than the main forums - so it's not always good to post something there if you want people to see it.

however, I also created a post that's for anyone to post a link to a thread they find here that relates to the issue.

It's a great way to be able to access information here, rather than going somewhere else - tho the posts have links to other sources.

thanks!

[Faux pas]

14. Great idea RainDog!

LOL where's the smilies app? I wanted to give you a big thumbs up!

[RainDog]

15. pass it along to others here

we'll compile a great resource that way.

[tridim]

7. That is one the best documentaries on the subject I've ever seen.

I love Peter Coyote's voice.

Thanks for posting.

I'm in a position now where I can no longer legally use medicinal cannabis at risk of prison, and have great worry that my health is going to begin a decline unless and until the Federal law is changed. I can deal with the added stress and lower quality sleep I now suffer, I just hope my body can. It's infuriating that I have to worry about that.

[Faux pas]

13. It's amazing how something that grows wild by nature can be used against you.

I feel for you. I have a friend who's a 3 time breast cancer suvivor who would probably go insane without the herb. So far, it's still legal in Calif, but from what i've heard, the feds are working hard to change it. State's rights my you-know-what.

[hootinholler]

8. Very thorough treatment of the subject

Up to date as well. Well worth the time to at least listen to.

[waddirum]

17. lot's of good stuff on youtube

Look of some of the presentations by Professor Robert Melameade (Biochemistry Prof. at U of Colorado - Colorado Springs) and Professor Raphael Mechoulam (the man who discovered delta 9-THC; Biology Prof. at Hebrew University of Jerusalem).

[RainDog]

19. they are good

Melameade has an interesting pov on the subject.

Mechoulam takes a far more conservative approach.

[Faux pas]

21. Thank you for the info, will check it out.

[Dragonbreathp9d]

22. Can't remember if I know any

Bubble bubble bubble exhale

[Faux pas]

23. LOL

[Tsiyu]

27. Wish I could watch on this sloooooowwwww dialup

But will K&R anyway.


It would mean the world to me to have legal access to cannabis here in TN. I have PTSD, and related loss of appetite, anxiety and insomnia, which cannabis significantly reduce. Also have shoulder, hip and wrist pain from years of work which are mitigated well, without side effects, by cannabis.

However, I'm not willing to risk incarceration to have the medicine I need.

Some days I have to give in to a big cry over the ridiculous unfairness of being denied help, simply because I refuse to take pills. I can't wait to move to a sane state where my physician and I - not Big Pharma or legislators or law enforcement - can choose the medicine that works best for me. TN is working on it, but we have too many cretins here who make money off incarcerating non-violent people to give me much hope of mercy or relief.

Lately, the insomnia is just killing me. Thank goodness DU is open all night

[Faux pas]

28. I wish you could watch it too. It's an excellent film.

Here's a review of the film that is pretty fair:

Wishing you luck in moving to a 'sane' state soon.
