So pot cures cancer, ALS, Alzheimers, neuropathy, "Pain, arthritic conditions, migraine headaches, anxiety, epileptic seizures, insomnia, loss of appetite, GERD (chronic heartburn), nausea, glaucoma, AIDS wasting syndrome, depression, bipolar disorder (particularly depression-manic-normal), multiple sclerosis, menstrual cramps, Parkinson's, trigeminal neuralgia (tic douloureux), high blood pressure, irritable bowel syndrome, and bladder incontinence." ...and autism, and of course Asperger's.



Maybe you didn't mean to state cures; according to the article they are not claiming that cannabis cures any of these listed conditions; just that it is being used as a treatment for these condtions.

"Cures" is exaggeration... but pot seems like a treatment for well... just about everything. Pot is worth a try?... It could help? I wonder how it works for baldness?

Sorry, my Aspie is showing, went right over my head.

I bet it could help baldness because there is evidence that cannabis decreases androgen levels in men. Interesting, research indicates nicotine increases testosterone levels.

The whole cannabis initiative may be a conspiracy by the matriarchal left to emasculate the male population. We can add that in with "the pill" conspiracy that does the same. :wink:

The days of the Marlboro man are just a distant memory. :)

Cannabis tends to make people less violent, and the stereotypical user has long hair, I think you are right.

I suspect women may have always had at least a small role to play in the direction of human evolution, maybe even a starring role?

How long ago was 'male' invented? 850 million years perhaps? How long was 'life' around for?
