Cannabis use prior to first onset psychosis predicts spared neurocognition at 10-year follow-up.

Scientific studies that reveal the benefits of cannabis for various neurological problems:

http://www.scientificfactsofpot.com/studies.htm#NP

1. Anti-tumor effects for the brain, lungs and for breast cancer

2. Elimination or narrowing of trauma related to PTSD with cannabis use (while, at the same time, protecting good memories.)

3. Relief from the spasms of MS

4. Neurogenesis in the hippocamus. Study after study has already revealed that those with pathological levels of depression and other mental illnesses results in a shrunken hippocamus.

5. Alzheimer's patients also deal with a shrunken hippocamus, and, not surprisingly, cannabis studies reveal it is useful as protection against alzheimer's disease

1. Yes, but it could be cheaply grown and cheaply distributed,

So, there is no profit in it and we must outlaw it. :sarcasm:

2. Actual papers or studies instead of bullet points as anything can get posted on the web

[RainDog]

3. did you bother to go to the link and read the studies?

obviously not.

the first study is behind a subscription wall because it's an academic paper. those on this site who have permission to use a University db or those who want to go to a U. for the paper can get it for themselves.

your comment reveals an incredible level of stupidity. go read the papers yourself before you spout your bullshit.

I HAVE read many of those papers, btw.

your comment reveals nothing more than your own willingness to remain ignorant.

12. do your own reading, numbnuts

It helps, it really does.

Hey, Rain Dog, I have a bad joke for you:

Q:What does a pot zombie say when he is hungry?
A: "Sttraaaainsss! Stttraaaaaiiins!"

Yeah, I know it's terrible. Sorry.

4. un-rec-ers to this thread are intellectually dishonest

you are part of the problem, not the solution.

you are part of the propaganda.

hope you're proud.

7. How dare you

Are you not aware that spreading truth and explaining facts is simply an abhorrent form of behavior in our society? I condemn you to watch 48 hours of fox news to see how your are supposed to behave. Don't let this happen again. I am shocked I tells ya!

[RainDog]

8. I cannot believe the number of people on this site who are willing to swallow propaganda

and pretend it's nourishing their brains.

[seattle_blue]

10. Well

Fertilizer does happen to be quite nourishing. Once you get past the smell, it's not too bad I guess.

13. I regularly go to the horse stables near me and shovel shit

for my garden.

sometimes the threads on cannabis feel like the same thing.

16. ooooh... I had some a month ago... wow!

11. +1 K&R

[elocs]

15. Yes! I think Duers who UnRec threads I agree with are intellectually dishonest as well.

I hope they are proud of themselves too. :bounce:

18. if you disagree with an opinion, you disagree

if you disagree with a quote from a scientific study, you're a twit.

and if you post a comment like this, you're also a twit.

[elocs]

20. Oooo, I guess you told me. Then again I'd rather be a twit than a stuffed shirt.

Any possibility that a scientific study could be wrong? :shrug: :bounce:

[RainDog]

21. lol.

goodbye.

6. the joke is that those who want to complain about "bullet points"

apparently have no idea what the fuck they're talking about since the bullet points are derived from academic studies.

apparently a lot of people here do not know or understand the "hidden web" or the web that exists behind subscription walls for academic institutions who pay for the journal subscriptions to the top academic journals in the nation.

how many of the naysayers have actually taken the time to read any of the studies? or if they did, could they begin to understand them?

[nebenaube]

9. None...

They truly lack the capacity.

17. here's another kick

my mother should be smoking the stuff, but because of years of propaganda, she feels too guilty. I imagine many others are suffering because of the BS propaganda out there.

19. when my stepmother was dying of cancer

she was so anti-drug she wouldn't consider mmj.

it was horrible to see her suffer, to stand beside her as she retched, to watch as she disappeared from wasting, as she tried and failed to keep down the lightest food.

it's criminal that people are denied relief from suffering.

22. kick
