Voters in Michigan and Massachusetts passed MPP’s landmark ballot initiatives to change marijuana policy in their states.

Today, voters in Michigan and Massachusetts passed MPP’s landmark ballot initiatives to change marijuana policy in their states.

Of the 13 marijuana policy statewide initiative victories in the history of the country, we just scored the second and third most important. (The first was California’s medical marijuana law in 1996.)

MPP’s Massachusetts initiative was the first time in history that a decriminalization initiative appeared on any statewide ballot, and voters passed it by what appears to be an overwhelming majority. The measure removes all criminal penalties for possessing an ounce or less of marijuana — replacing it with a $100 fine, which can be paid through the mail without lawyers or court appearances, just like a speeding ticket.

And Michigan voters passed MPP’s medical marijuana initiative, making Michigan the first Midwestern state to permit medical marijuana use by seriously ill patients (and the 13th in the U.S.). Michigan now becomes the second largest medical marijuana state in the country (second only to California). And as a result of tonight’s victory, almost one quarter of the nation now resides in states with medical marijuana laws.

Despite formidable opposition (including lies and dirty tricks from our opponents), common sense won — in large part because of thousands of MPP supporters who donated as generously as they could to both campaign committees.

The majority of these donors don’t even live in Michigan or Massachusetts but donated because this is what the movement for changing marijuana laws is all about — a partnership between people across the country, giving whatever they can afford in order to push change forward. The people of Michigan and Massachusetts owe a debt of gratitude to thousands of people in the other 48 states and Washington, D.C., who donated money for victories that they won’t personally see in their own states. And this is exactly how it works: In the upcoming two-year cycle, we’re going to be choosing a new slate of states, and we’ll all pitch in nationwide to pass those too … which includes passing bills through state legislatures too.

I’ll have more on our upcoming plans for you soon. But for now, please join me in celebrating two incredible victories.

Sincerely,

The Truth about Marijuana

s1655706426_21607_8924

This information about MARIJUANA and HUMANS will astound you!

Hypothesis on the symbiosis of humans and the plant species’ Cannabis Sativa, Indica, and other hybrid strains of Cannabis.

This paper is dedicated to two of the greatest farmers I know-

My Father Stephen G. Saunders and my Grandfather, James Levi Evans.

This paper points to several key physiological correlations between the chemical components found in the plant species’ Cannabis Sativa, Indica, and other hybrid strains of Cannabis, and the chemical components required for the biological functioning of the mammalian species, Homo Sapiens.

The first correllary which bears scrutiny is the correllation between the nutritional requirement for Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) for proper maintenance of brain tissue, skin, and hair, and the chemical composition of the fruit produced by the plant species’ Cannabis Sativa, Indica, and other hybrid strains of Cannabis. The essential fatty acid profile of the fruit of the Cannabis Sativa plant contains the full spectrum of essential fatty acids required by humans on a daily basis, perfectly balanced nutritionally down to the tenth of a percent, with nothing added, and nothing left out. This corrollary, when combined with the historical and cultural fact that the fruit of the plant species’ Cannabis Sativa, Indica, and other hybrid strains of Cannabis has been consumed for food for thousands of years by humans suggests that the consumption of this fruit has played a major role in the formation of the current chemical and physiological structure of the brain, skin and other physiology of humans.

The second correllary can be found by examining the structure and composition of neuro-receptor sites which exist on the surface of the brain of the species Homo Sapiens. The surface of the human brain contains minute areas which are called “neuro-receptor sites” which function to allow chemical compounds to interact with and have an influence in creating and maintaining all of the various chemical “states” of the brain. These receptor sites vary in size and shape, and thus allow various compounds to “lock in” to them, causing various changes in the chemical composition of the brain. Some of these receptor sites are “substance-specific”, which means that they will only allow specific compounds to “lock in” to them. Some receptor sites are susceptible to a phenomenon called “blocking”, which is created by compounds which, when “locked in” to certain receptor sites, create changes in the chemical composition of the human brain by preventing other compounds from “locking in”.

The chemical compound manufactured by the plant species’ Cannabis Sativa, Indica, and other hybrid strains of Cannabis that sometimes has a psychoactive effect on the brain chemistry of humans called TetraHydraCannabinol (THC) consists of a particular formation of a compound called Cannabinol which is also manufactured naturally by the body to aid in the proper functioning of the cornea of the human eye, and support the ability of the human eye to discern the difference between lines and shapes. This compound has a neuro-receptor site in the network of neuro-receptor sites found on the surface of the brain of humans which is “substance specific” which is to say that no other chemical compounds are able to “lock in” to these receptor sites.

The surface of the brain of humans contains more of these “substance specific” neuro-receptor sites THAN RECEPTORS FOR ALL OTHER CHEMICAL COMPUNDS PUT TOGETHER.

The arrangement of these “substance specific” neuro-receptor sites for Cannibinoids across the surface of the human brain has been scientifically described as “ubiquitous”. Ubiquitous is defined scientifically as “the state of being everywhere at the same time”.

A symbiosis between the two species which would influence this level of chemical integration would require many tens of thousands of years of consumption of the plant species’ Cannabis Sativa, Indica, and other hybrid strains of Cannabis by humans to create such an enormous influence on the physiological structure of the brain of the species.

While virtually every creature on the planet has “substance specific” neuro-receptor sites for TetraHydraCannabinol (THC) and other Cannibinoids, the mammalian species Homo Sapiens has the unique condition of being capable of ingesting and utilizing TetraHydraCannabinol (THC) in such enormous capacities over all other chemical substances which influence the functioning of the brain of the species.

The Cannabinoids are found on the leaves and flowers of the plant species’ Cannabis Sativa, Indica, and other hybrid strains of Cannabis, as well as inside the fruit or “seeds”. The Cannabinoids are ingested by humans and delivered to the brain by consumption of the seeds/fruit as food. The Cannabinoids are also delivered to the brain by consumption of the leaves and flowers of the plant by burning and breathing the resultant smoke, or eating the leaves and flowers. The latter methods, which use the leaves and flowers create a psychotropic/psychoactive effect on the brain.

In examining the use for the Cannibinoids in the physiology of the plant species’ Cannabis Sativa, Indica, and other hybrid strains of Cannabis, we find that the plant manufactures the compound for use as a filter that blocks the upper end of the spectrum of light of the sun known as “ultraviolet” or UV light.

The TetraHydraCannabinol (THC) is a protective shield for the plant against UV radiation. In light of these empirical facts, this paper demonstrates proof of species symbiosis between humans and the plant species’ Cannabis Sativa, Indica, and other hybrid strains of Cannabis, predicated upon scientific proof which answers the following questions:

  1. a) Does the deprivation of the full and balanced spectrum of Essential Fatty Acids delivered by the fruit/seeds of the plant species’ Cannabis Sativa, Indica, and other hybrid strains of Cannabis from the nutritional diet of humans create adverse effects on the health of the species?

Correllations between the historical date of the political prohibition of the fruit/seeds for use as a food source in the United States, and the ensuing decline in the use of the fruit/seeds as a food source throughout the rest of the world due to martial enforcement, AND the rise of aberrative forms of disease and illness cannot be overlooked.

  1. b) Does the effect of filling the “ubiquitous” numbers of “substance specific” neuro-receptor sites for TetraHydraCannabinol (THC) and other Cannibinoids located on the surface of the brain of humans create for this brain, as it does for the leaves and flowers of the plant species’ Cannabis Sativa, Indica, and other hybrid strains of Cannabis the effect of blocking or screening the brain and it’s brainwave activity from the effects of the radiation of Ultraviolet (UV) light?

Current commercial research and development into the use of THC as an effective ingredient in the manufacture of sunscreen for human skin suggests that it’s function in the substance specific neuro-receptor sites on the surface of the human brain, acts for the brainwave activity of the human brain in a similar capacity.

  1. c) While the consumption of the leaves and flowers of the plant species’ Cannabis Sativa, Indica, and other hybrid strains of Cannabis by humans through oral ingestion and smoking has been a part of human culture as far back as recorded history, is the sudden and sharp rise in the chronic smoking of the leaves and flowers of the plant species’ Cannabis Sativa, Indica, and other hybrid strains of Cannabis by humans a symptom of malnutrition due to insufficient consumption of the seeds/fruit of the same plant, which would, as a staple in the diet of humans provide enough quantities of non-psychoactive/ psychotropic cannabinoids to the brain, in addition to the vital, balanced profile of Essential Fatty Acids delivered by the seeds/fruit of the plant?

Closing Comments:

While there are many, many additional corollaries which support the hypothesis of symbiosis between humans and the plant species’ Cannabis Sativa, Indica, and other hybrid strains of Cannabis, this paper focuses on physiological and biological data and ensuing questions and call for research outlined above.

HEALTH in AMERICA:TO FIND THE HEALING LOOK TO 1938

OPEN MESSAGE TO ALL AMERICANS:

TO FIND THE HEALING LOOK TO 1938

TO FIND THE RAPIST LOOK TO 1938

4-20-2007

TO FIND THE HEALING LOOK TO 1938

TO FIND THE RAPIST LOOK TO 1938

THIS IS A CLARION CALL TO THOSE IN THE NATURAL HEALTH INDUSTRY TO WAKE UP AND TAKE A STRONG AND POWERFUL STAND TO SHAKE OFF A PARASITE!!!!!

Use this information to research further, and fill in the missing gaps. There is much that relates to other industries in this Nation that were formed and controlled by the same form of “WEAPONIZATION” that was used against this Nation in the area of the Health of the individual, including the agricultural industries.

IT IS TIME FOR IT TO END.

The first initial attack on America’s health came in the wake of world war II.

It came from South America where the MIC (NAZI) set up a process of refining coca leaves in to coca-cola syrup, and bringing it North to dispense to the masses through the doctors.

The plan was to get the country strung out on cocaine and provide gold (who knows where they got that from?) and use it to fuel the rise of the age of industry.

After allowing the country to percolate through the “roaring” twenties, the cocaine and gold was cut off, and the country fell into the “great depression”  whatever industry was still left standing was bought out and the newly forming industrial America was firmly in their control.

They continued the Attack on America’s health by expanding the newly formed, FDA.

They required all doctors to join and follow the FDA dictates or be discredited and eventually legally eliminated from the medical profession.

They then summarily eliminated the TOP FIVE LINES OF PREVENTATIVE DEFENSE against illness from the culture by manufacturing junk science quack reasons, and required the doctors to stop using them.

The preventative health practices are:

1.  Hempseeds and Hempseed Oil as food.  (For the reasons why this is health related see SYMBIOSIS http://www.majik.org/downloads/symbiosis.pdf)

2.  The “Re-Scheduling” and regulation, and in the process, elimination of, the number one and number two most widely prescribed medicine in America up until 1938  which was HASHISH and Cannabis Extract.

3.  The elimination of Colon hydrotherapy or ENEMAS, dismissed as “useless”

4.  The elimination of Ear-Coning or “Candling” for the removal of Candida yeast and debris from the inner ear, dismissed as “useless”

5.  the elimination of the use of silver as an anti-pathogen, specifically in the form of silver colloidialized into water, dismissed as “useless”

The rise of the Pharmaceutical Industry followed immediately after…

The “CONSTITUTION” of the Nation is another way of saying the “HEALTH” of the Nation.

Officially the Constitution of the Nation has been under attack at the level of the individual “Constitutions” of each and every person that has been alive in this Nation since 1938.

Officially, the Military bodies of this Nation owe the people of this Nation a DIRECT attack with the intention of the complete elimination of the FDA, and this is in process, as we speak directly and indirectly by forces who have pledged to uphold and protect the Constitution of the Nation. The process will be gradual, measured and was planned all along, and will make very little attention by anyone as it happens, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it. This is not current or direct terrorist activity but a part of a planned agenda by those benevolent forces who control the future of this Earth, as ugly as that may sound.

The  FDA is  due for reformation, and it is quite obvious that the connection between food and health and the knowledge of this has been WEAPONIZED and used against the Nation for the benefit of a small group. Those activities are now under investigation and scrutiny by those in control of the future of this planet. Remediation planning is underway.

A full formal investigation and hearing on abolition or possible reformation, and remediation for the following Entities:  FDA, IRS, FRS, DOA, AMA is necessary at this time.

Here’s one that’s really Gross-

It’s time for all of us to get PARASITE-FREE!
There is alot of information out here about the fact that EVERY OTHER one of us is infected with some form of toxic parasite that needs to be cleared from the body periodically, and could account for much of the other symptomatic disease that is suffered by many Americans.
Mainstream medicine appears to be ignoring them and misdiagnosing in order to prescribe drugs and surgeries.
YIKES!

Nursing Homes a Dumping Ground for Antipsychotics

The findings of a review by researchers from the University of Massachusetts Medical School reported in the Archives of Internal Medicine, are unambiguous. Antipsychotic drugs, the most toxic of all psychotropic drugs, are being prescribed inappropriately for nursing home residents. In 1995, the percentage of U.S. nursing home residents who received antipsychotic drugs was 16 percent. In 2000-2001, the percentage skyrocketed to 28%. Of those 58% received doses “exceeding maximum levels” During the study period, more than 200,000 nursing home residents received antipsychotic drugs but did not have appropriate indications. In 2001, Medicaid spent over $3 billion for antipsychotics, more than it spent on antimicrobial agents, cardiovascular drugs, or antidepressants.

Drug Bust

DW, GERMANY – A patient suffering from multiple sclerosis has been legally allowed to buy cannabis at the pharmacy under strict conditions. It’s the first time Germany has permitted the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes. Germany’ Süddeutsche Zeitung reported that the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices for the first time approved the application of a 51-year-old woman suffering from multiple sclerosis to legally buy cannabis from a pharmacy to ease her symptoms. . . So far, cannabis has been illegal in Germany — only possession of small amounts of the drug are allowed — and its use for medicinal purposes limited to scientific studies and aims that “are in the public interest.”. . . In 2005, a court ruling threw into question the complete ban on cannabis for medicinal purposes. The German Federal Administrative Court ruled that the health of individual patients also lay in “the public interest.” That means that the Bonn-based Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices now has to consider each application for use of cannabis for medicinal purposes on a case-by-case basis. http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,2746463,00.html

2nd Largest US Medical Association Calls for Rescheduling of Cannabis

Sacramento, CA: The American College of Physicians (ACP), the nation’s largest organization of doctors of internal medicine and the second largest medical association in the country, called for easing the federal prohibition of marijuana in a position paper released Friday, February 15. The ACP asked the federal government to review the inclusion of marijuana as a Schedule I drug, a classification it shares with drugs such as heroin and LSD. Schedule I substances are declared to have no medical use and a high potential for abuse by the federal government. Since its inclusion as a Schedule I drug in 1970, the scheduling of cannabis has been constantly challenged. The conflict between federal law and the twelve states where medical cannabis statutes have been enacted have made many doctors avoid recommending medical cannabis as a treatment. Dr. David Dale, president of the ACP, said that contributed to the ACP’s action: “We felt the time had come to speak up about this. …We’d like to clear up the uncertainty and anxiety of patients and physicians over this drug.” Officials at the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy panned the ACP’s move. “What this would do is drag us back to 14th century medicine,” said Bertha Madras, the ONDCP deputy director for demand reduction. “With the ACP now supporting rescheduling, the ONDCP can no longer claim that medical cannabis is not supported by science or the practitioners of modern medicine,” NORML Executive Director Allen St. Pierre said in response. With this action, the ACP joins the American Nurses Association, the American Public Health Association, the American Academy of Family Physicians, and many other medical associations calling for cannabis to be made a legal medicine.

Food from Cloned Offspring Already in the Food Supply

A Kansas cattle producer says that offspring of cloned animals have already entered the food supply. Donald Coover, a cattleman and veterinarian, says that he has sold semen from prize-winning clones to many US meat producers in the past few years, and that others may be doing the same.

“This is a fairy tale that this technology is not being used and is not already in the food chain,” said Coover. “Anyone who tells you otherwise either doesn’t know what they’re talking about, or they’re not being honest.”

Cloned animals are prohibitively expensive for general consumption and are more likely to be used as genetic stock for breeding. Cloned cattle currently cost $15,000 to $20,000 per copy.

US Department of Agriculture officials say that a voluntary market-sale moratorium has been removed from offspring of clones but not from clones themselves.

“I have sold offspring of cloned animals into feedlots, and they are in the food chain,” Coover told the Star-Telegram on Wednesday.

Pot Use Not Associated With Increased Risk Of Head Or Neck Cancer, Study Says

Wellington, New Zealand: Smoking cannabis, even long-term, is not associated with an increased risk of developing cancers of the head or neck, according to the results of a case control population-based study published in the March issue of the journal Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery.

Investigators at the Medical Research Institute in Wellington assessed the relative risk of head and neck cancer associated with marijuana smoking in 75 cases (16 of which reported having used cannabis) and 319 controls. Researchers reported that marijuana use – including chronic use of the drug – was not associated with any increased cancer risk compared to non-using controls.

“This population-based study did not find a statistically significant increase in the risk of head and neck cancer in adults [under age 55] from cannabis,” authors concluded. “[Even] the risk associated with the highest tertile of cannabis use (defined as one joint a day for more than eight years) was not statistically significant after adjustment for cofounding variables including tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption, and level of income.”

By contrast, investigators reported that heavy alcohol use was associated with a nearly six-fold increased cancer risk compared to controls.

In February, a parallel study published by the same investigative team reported that subjects who had “ever used” cannabis experienced, on average, no statistically increased risk of lung cancer compared to non-users.

A prior case-control study sponsored by the US National Institute on Drug Abuse of 164 oral cancer patients and 526 controls determined, “The balance of the evidence … does not favor the idea that marijuana as commonly used in the community is a causal factor for head, neck or lung cancer in adults.”

More recently, a 2004 clinical trial performed by investigators at Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center reported “no association” between marijuana use and the incidence of oral carcinoma, “regardless of how long, how much or how often a person has used marijuana.”

Most recently, a UCLA study of more than 2,200 subjects (1,212 cases and 1,040 controls) reported that marijuana smoking was not positively associated with cancers of the lung or upper aerodigestive tract – even among individuals who reported smoking more than 22,000 joints during their lifetime.

NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano said that the Wellington team’s findings add to the growing body of evidence indicating that smoking cannabis poses a surprisingly low cancer risk compared to the use of tobacco or alcohol. He said: “While studies purporting to uncover alleged harms due to cannabis use receive wide dissemination by the mainstream press, research that fails to find such harms often gets ignored. It will be telling to see if this latest study is the exception or the rule.”
