They certainly have ...sadly it can kill people in its synthetic form but that's ok. Pharma is allowed to kill the odd person here and there. Not to mention it doesnt work the same because its not! Simply put. Talking about Medical and Rec in the Same thread really doesnt help ... but no one will understand that either.

even one is well worth the effort!

love the comments from people who know very little. A Harvard study from 2007 which remains the most comprehensive ever released on THC’s potential to combat tumors found that in just three weeks doses of THC were able to cut lung cancer tumor growth in half in mice subjects, and were able to reduce cancer lesions by even more. For the study, Harvard researchers tested THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, which is found naturally in cannabis) on cancer cells in labs, and followed that up by studying mice subjects. The lab demonstration found that doses of THC inhibited growth and spread in the cancer cells; “When the cells are pretreated with THC, they have less EGFR stimulated invasion as measured by various in-vitro assays,” states Anju Preet, PhD, who was one of the researchers for the study. Following the lab test, researchers dosed mice – which were implanted with human lung cancer cells – with THC, and found that in just three weeks, tumors were reduced in both size and weight by roughly 50% compared to a control group. According to Preet, cancer lesions on the lungs were also reduced – by nearly 60% – and there was as a significant reduction in “protein markers” associated with cancer progression. Researchers predict that THC had such a positive effect on combating tumors because it activates molecules that arrest the cell cycle, and may also interfere with the processes of angiogenesis and vascularization, which lead to cancer growth. Over 6 years since its original release, this study remains one of the most important cannabis-related studies ever released.

same situation. different outcome.. Man with knife on TTC bus apprehended after 5 hours of negotiation http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/man-with-knife-on-ttc-bus-apprehended-after-5-hours-of-negotiation-1.3702249

I gave a friend an old battery and I went out and bought him a cartomizer and 10$ worth of juice. I asked him to try it instead of smoking the cancer sticks. Its been over a year since I gave it to him and he has stopped smoking cigarettes completely. He is down to mixing mg's of nic. I think he said he's down to 2 mgs although he does feel it when he tries to just use vape with out nicotine in it. Good luck with it. You can vape lots of other things with the battery as well. You just need to change the pieces.

Out of all the police STANDING THERE with no gun drawn. You'd think someone else would have fired as well...So many who are trained the same way. to think the same way and react the same way to these type of situations. He stood there ...fired....and made sure he would not survive. The charges do not seem to be enough. As for the "gain banger." The public never saw a video of what transpired. So its a rather moot point. But we can all take your word for it.

Addiction sucks eh!

Id wager 90% are not like what you think . It's not hard to do.

Alcohol causes seven forms of cancer, and people consuming even low to moderate amounts are at risk, according to new analysis. Health experts endorsed the findings and said they showed that ministers should initiate more education campaigns in order to tackle widespread public ignorance about how closely alcohol and cancer are connected. The study sparked renewed calls for regular drinkers to be encouraged to take alcohol-free days, and for alcohol packaging to carry warning labels. Fresh analysis of evidence accumulated over recent years implicates alcohol in the development of breast, colon, liver and other types of cancer. The study, published in the scientific journal Addiction, concludes that there is more than simply a link or statistical association between alcohol and cancer that could be explained by something else. There is now enough credible evidence to say conclusively that drinking is a direct cause of the disease, according to Jennie Connor, of the preventive and social medicine department at Otago University in New Zealand. “There is strong evidence that alcohol causes cancer at seven sites in the body and probably others,” Connor said. “Even without complete knowledge of biological mechanisms [of how alcohol causes cancer], the epidemiological evidence can support the judgment that alcohol causes cancer of the oropharynx, larynx, oesophagus, liver, colon, rectum and breast.” Alcohol-related deaths in England up 4% in one year Read more Growing evidence suggested that alcohol was also likely to cause skin, prostate and pancreatic cancer, she added. Emphasising that a drinker’s risk increased in relation to the amount consumed, Connor said: “For all these there is a dose-response relationship.” Connor arrived at her conclusions after studying reviews undertaken over the past 10 years by the World Cancer Research Fund, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the World Health Organisation’s cancer body, and other authoritative bodies. Advertisement “The highest risks are associated with the heaviest drinking but a considerable burden is experienced by drinkers with low to moderate consumption, due to the distribution of drinking in the population,” Connor said. Campaigns to reduce alcohol consumption should therefore try to encourage everyone to cut down, as targeting only heavy drinkers had “limited potential” to reduce alcohol-related cancer, she added. In February Prof Dame Sally Davies, the chief medical officer for England, caused a stir by warning women that drinking alcohol could cause breast cancer. She told a parliamentary hearing: “Do as I do when I reach for my glass of wine. Think: do I want the glass of wine or do I want to raise my own risk of breast cancer? I take a decision each time I have a glass.” Davies played a key role in drawing up new government guidelines on safe drinking limits, published in January, which recommended that men reduce their maximum weekly intake of alcohol from 21 to 14 units, or seven pints of beer a week, which is the longstanding threshold that women are advised not to exceed. The growing evidence of alcohol’s role in causing cancer, underlined by a report by the UK Committee on Carcinogenicity, was a key reason behind Davies and her counterparts in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland issuing advice that some said was impractical and would be ignored. Sticking to the new guidelines would help keep drinkers’ risk of cancer low, the proponents said. Advertisement Dr Jana Witt, Cancer Research UK’s health information officer, said: “We know that nine in 10 people aren’t aware of the link between alcohol and cancer. And this review is a stark reminder that there’s strong evidence linking the two.” A recent CRUK study found that when people were shown a list of different cancers, only one in five of them knew that breast cancer could be caused by drinking, compared to four out of five people who knew that alcohol could cause liver cancer. “Having some alcohol-free days each week is a good way to cut down on the amount you’re drinking,” Witt said. “Also, try swapping every other alcoholic drink for a soft drink, choosing smaller servings or less alcoholic versions of drinks, and not keeping a stock of booze at home.” The stories you need to read, in one handy email Read more Alan Boobis, professor of biochemical pharmacology at Imperial College London, said the science showing alcohol’s role in cancer was well established. “The main difficulty is communicating effectively with the public,” he said. Connor’s study also found that people who smoke and drink are at even greater risk of developing cancer. More positively, there was some evidence that drinkers who gave up alcohol could reverse their risk of laryngeal, pharyngeal and liver cancer, and that their risk reduced the longer they avoided alcohol, Connor’s research found. Elaine Hindal, chief executive of Drinkaware, the alcohol industry-funded education charity, agreed that drinking and cancer risk were closely linked. “Regularly drinking more than the government’s low-risk guidelines puts you at increased risk of some types of cancer, and can also increase your risk of heart and liver disease, strokes and pancreatitis,” she said. “Smoking and drinking together increases your risk of developing throat and mouth cancer more than doing either on their own.” People drinking more than the recommended limits should cut down in order to safeguard their future health, she added.

sadly there are TWO sides. ,medical and Recreational. One needs their meds. the other can go with out. Its that simple. Next, you'll tell us it has no medical value, If you want to play the advocate, learn about it first and have something that is pertinent to say. cheers

It was answered in court and you obviously did not read it. short sightedness! ? Agreed!

no fires were caused by MMJ people. Not even one out of more than 40000 licensed people The issue you speak of are ILLEGAL grow ops. For illegal purposes ...A completely different animal. you have to realize what matters.

A few more propositions for the legalization task force: 1. People that grow cannabis now, lawfully and unlawfully, are not deviants, anti-social, criminogenic, immoral or otherwise worth of any derision simply because they grow cannabis. Many are passionate lovers of the plant and their love and hard work is worthy of praise much as we'd praise any artisan devoted to their craft. 2. People that sell cannabis now, lawfully and unlawfully, are exactly the same. The act of growing or selling cannabis is not morally blameworthy in and of itself and should not be the basis for any current or future discrimination. That a bad law has persisted for decades despite the widespread harm it causes is not the fault of those who persevered in spite of that bad law - the fault lies elsewhere. 3. People that grow, sell, process and work with cannabis now, lawfully and unlawfully, are developing expertise in those endeavours. Legacy producers and distributors (whom of necessity will have mostly been unlawful) are experts in those tasks - they are a valuable resource. They are a necessary component of any successful future. 4. Seen properly, the culture of cannabis is a social good, a positive thing, a way for free people to interact, express themselves creatively, to be entrepreneurs and innovators, to bring pleasure to themselves and to others. Condemning, implicitly or explicitly, cannabis culture by, for example, banning places of social consumption, overly restricting branding and marketing or discouraging cannabis tourism is wrong. It would be akin to a government campaign designed to demonize or diminish Canada's vibrant vineyard and wine industry, or its burgeoning craft beer culture, or even it's fantastic outdoor sports and recreation opportunities.

you are very wrong with your thinking. You should read the Judges MMJ decision on growing. Not the people who lied about how dangerous it is due to ulterior motives. but again. You do not know. Most have no clue and listen to things that just aren't true. Only because it doesn't matter to them which is understandable. here...you can read all about it and find that what you have said is completely wrong. http://cas-cdc-www02.cas-satj.gc.ca/rss/T-2030-13%20reasons%2024-02-2016%20(ENG).pdf Ill make it easier To all leadership and members of the Cannabis Rights Coalition In the wake of Allard the Coalition has been working diligently in the back ground to prepare for what may arise from Allard. Moreover, the Coalition has strong reasons to believe the federal government of Canada will “heavily restrict plant counts” as with how and where one can cultivate marihuana. We all need recognize that in Allard we only proved no “public safety” existed with respect to home cultivation the judge did not address what was reasonable with respect to growing only that we can continue as no public safety was established by Canada during the Allard trial. The fundamental Right to autonomy is an international Right that in essence allows any free civilian to put into their bodies whatever they wish provided that they are not hurting themselves or others “the public” in the process of exercising their Right to autonomy. The federal government of Canada in concert with the heads of various departments of government RCMP, Fire Chiefs, and Health Canada all stood on the national stage in 2012 and sold to Canadian civilians that organized crime, fire, and mold were problems that plague the then federal marihuana program known as the Medical Marihuana Access Division (MMAD) and governing Medical Marihuana Access Regulations (MMAR). You see to remove the right to grow marihuana for personal use is very much an issue of autonomy when we look at the safety, non addictive nature of marihuana as with the fact there is no lethal death dose in relation to any form of marihuana use it becomes more clear why those said officials stood and lied to the public of Canada sighting organized crime, fire, and mold as “public safety” concerns thus opening the door to “strip our Right to autonomy” sighting us marihuana growers were a threat to the general public and ourselves. The judge in Allard agreed that Canada the defendant failed to substantiate claims of organized crime as with claims of fire with respect to the 34,000 growers and their gardens. In fact, before trial the Coalition secured a $70,000 federal Injunction that was appealed by Canada. They failed under appeal to show any public safety concerns to home gardens. So when we look at justice Manson who first approved the Injunction on March 21st 2014 coupled with the three federal judges on the appeals bench who unanimously agreed with justice Manson that no public safety excised. So this leaves us with four federal judges who agreed with our position of no public safety. The Coalition took Canada to trial using only $300,000 raised to fight while Canada spent 1.2-million-dollar’s in defence of their beloved (MMPR). Justice Phelan who presided over the Allard trial came back with a blistering and damaging blow to the defendant Canada and their MMPR scheme. First off the judge found that Canada’s experts in organized crime did not prove a single conviction of a medical marihuana grower let alone organized medical patients to support “organized crime”. In addition, justice Phelan noted the expert fire Chief for Canada could not demonstrate a single fire attributed to a medical marihuana legal garden. The government of Canada waged war on the medical growers of Canada via bad unconstitutional policy known as the MMPR failed to support their claim so horribly that justice Phelan decided compensation for some costs be granted for the plaintiffs. This compassionate judge’s stance in his decision is as historic as the Allard trial itself. Who has ever put Canada on trial, with a “restraining order” in place known as an Injunction then won in trial to the extent that, first the trial went “uncontested” and second the plaintiffs were “awarded costs”. This sets me to the next point of contention out there that suggests that Allard is fully funded or that anyone is getting any funds. The reality is as the client in the Allard matter I can assure all accounting and costs. Our challenge is over $750,000+ billed however we only raised $300,000 leaving our legal team with allot of unpaid bills. We also need take into account that a hearing must be held with the attorneys to see if compensation will in fact be awarded to the plaintiffs and if so how much? So as we move forward and rumours of Allard being funded and all is well is farthest from the truth. Were in fact paying off Allard while preparing for any legislation arising from Allard that we may wish challenge. If Health Canada was hypothetically to cap our plant counts at some unreasonable number say between 6-25 X number of plants only allowed to grow a certain height with a square foot space restriction. We have many in the culture acting finally to address the MMPR many helped usher in. The focus must remain on frontline service for the end user as with personal home cultivation. The Cannabis Rights Coalition will be touring nationally to celebrate the win in Allard that protected growing in Canada. In addition, the Allard uncontested win has set precedence for legalization with the option to personally grow. Thanks to the brave patients who fought with disability checks and supporters who collectively took out that threat of a model to legalization without plants as Justin and the Liberals had planned. Now Canada will always be able to grow for Allard was a Constitutional challenge that was won uncontested thus the right to grow marihuana in Canada can never be taken or attempt to be taken again. They will try and restrict this Right, this said we have a lot of time to address how legalization will look in Canada. In closing come join the Cannabis Rights Coalitionhttp://cannabisrightscoalition.ca and get involved with the organization who has and will continue to protect the rights of those persons who choose to use cannabis as a treatment or therapy. Together we can continue to make history, and remember time tells all truths. In the past five years of the MMPR this Coalition has been fighting for your rights via Injunction, Allard trail, and Privacy lawsuits filed while others ushered un the MMPR and chanted vote liberals the Coalition remained reserved with respect to their agenda. Expect to hear allot more from the Coalition as the feds close in on legislating Allard.

A few basic propositions for the legalization task force to consider. 1. Consuming cannabis is not deviant behaviour. It is normal and people that do so are not criminals, addicts, "pot-heads" or otherwise different from people that don't. 2. Growing cannabis is not dangerous. It's a plant, not nuclear material. 3. Cannabis has a huge and growing culture that is much like wine culture - we love the different smells, tastes and effects. We like to talk about it, share it, have fun with it. These things should be celebrated, not marginalized. 4. Cannabis is dramatically safer than alcohol and tobacco and there are simply no logical reasons why access to it should be restricted any more than those substances. In fact, to the extent that cannabis use replaces or decreases alcohol and tobacco use, it should be encouraged as a public health good. There is a public health argument that cannabis should be easier to access because it is safer.

It's the biggest money maker their is! It's no wonder they'll keep it messed up for years. Legal, Illegal, It's business after all!

TOUR CANCELLED! KINGSTON, ON - The Tragically Hip has announced that it will be cancelling its final national tour as the members of the band were unable to acquire tickets to any of the 15 events they were set to perform at. The group made the announcement after it became clear that TicketMaster had already sold the band’s backstage passes to scalpers and was unable to purchase them back at a reasonable price. “$3,500 just to see myself perform!”said Gord Downie, looking at the prices on StubHub. “And that’s in US dollars?!” The iconic Canadian group claimed that they made several efforts to obtain stage level tickets. Guitarist Paul Langlois, drummer Johnny Fay and bassist Gord Sinclair all made desperate appeals on their Facebook accounts, but the few friends that had tickets refused to barter away their prized admissions into what would have been one of the greatest live music shows in Canadian history. The band explained that guitarist Rob Baker nearly obtained two 300 level tickets at the MTS Centre in Winnipeg but was timed out as he fumbled with his credit card to complete the transaction. “That was our only chance guys; I’m so sorry,” said a remorseful Baker to his fellow band members with his head down low.

You know it! RIP Steven, say hi to Sly... and Elliot!

Seniors Now The Fastest Growing Demographic Of Cannabis Users The 55-and-older crowd is now the fastest-growing demographic of pot users in the country. By The Waking Times | May 26, 2016 Beverly Fox, who suffers from severe arthritis and an eye condition similar to glaucoma, puffs on a pipe filled with marijuana. (AP/Elaine Thompson) As the U.S. becomes more comfortable with the end of cannabis prohibition, many of the arguments sustaining the drug war will come to be acknowledged as being the ridiculouspropaganda that they were. For example, the lie about marijuana being the gateway drug that sends a person spiraling down the path of hard drug use and criminal activity is being completely overthrown as even recreational legalization is simply not causing these problems. Now we see another interesting phenomenon in regards to the legalization of medical marijuana. In California, where many opponents of legalization have insisted that lawful cannabis would cause the greatest spike in herb use among the state’s young people, quite the opposite is proving true, as citizens over the age of 55 are now the fastest growing demographic of pot users. The 55-and-older crowd is now the fastest-growing demographic of pot users in the country. Between 2013 and 2014, the number increased from 2.8 million to 4.3 million. [Source] official MintPress sponsor Although they account for only 14% of the US population, seniors age 55 and up account for some 30% of the nation’s prescription drug use. Many of the medicines being consumed by seniors are highly addictive painkillers with seriously detrimental side effects well known to the government and the pharmaceutical industry. As truthful knowledge of the plant’s genuine medical benefits spread, more and more seniors are turning to cannabis for assistance with the many medical complications associated with aging. As CBS New reports, Steve DeAngelo, owner of Harborside Medical Dispensary in Oakland, has been actively promoting cannabis to seniors, with great effect, as many of his customers now are in this demographic. His intentions for promoting to this age group are actually two-fold, however; firstly to help them find healthy alternatives to dangerous to pharmaceutical drugs, and secondly because those in this age group are typically the most outspoken advocates of prohibition. There’s [an] ironic, almost tragic phenomenon, which is that seniors, who are one of the groups who can most benefit from use of cannabis, are the single group which remains most opposed to reforming cannabis laws. – Steven DeAngelo As with any medicine, cannabis is not without its drawbacks or risks, but legalization makes it possible for people to draw their own conclusions and make their own decisions regarding which medicines they use to care for themselves.
