Compassionate reform

What a cool idea! Compassionate reform...I love the term! it's coined by a group in Arkansas that is trying to get Marijuana legalized.

I'm not a pot smoker, never have been. But, the plant and its uses intrigues me. Especially since going raw. I have the belief that all our plants have use, and its up to us to find it. I didn't know that marijuana as a medicinal plant goes back 8000 years in China! Did you?

Queen Victoria sipped marijuana tea for menstral cramps. I didn't know that either! We have such an odd hangup on drugs in this country, and the belief that we know what's better for someone else.

Here is what medical research has found out:
Cannabis acts like an antioxidant that's better than C or E.
It is a great anti-inflammatory
It can help with Tourettes
It shorts out pain signals-and is less addictive than alot of those perscription painkillers

In Spain doctors injected inoperable brain tumorsTHC shrinks tumors with THC.

Marijuana seems to be effective in shrinking lung cancer tumors THC kills lung cancer tumors

Marijuana and prancreatic cancer THC halts pancreatic cancer growth

Very interesting what we villanize.
