THC has actually been proven THC actually activates naturally produced receptors to fight off lung cancer. The researchers suggest that THC or other designer agents that activate these receptors might be used in a targeted fashion to treat lung cancer.

The fact of the matter is, all drugs are dangerous. 90% of pot is laced with either PCP, crack or even embalming fluid. THC levels in pot have risen from 1% in the '70s to anywhere from 10 to even 30% today. There are nearly 500 known chemicals in pot and just one joint contains 4 times as much cancer-causing tar as a filtered cigarette. As far as legalizing, think about this...alcohol kills more young people than all other drugs combined!! ...despite being illegal for people under 21. How? Because it's accessable and socially acceptable. Legalizing pot will have the same impact. In regards to "your choice"... it cost this country $600 billion a year in medical, economic and crime related costs. Who pays for that? We do! Drugs are the leading factor in most crimes. 75% of those in jail & prison are there due to drug-related/influenced crimes. Who are the victims? We are! It's not just "your risk"! We're ALL affected. Remember...Drugs aren't bad because they're illegal, they're illegal because they're BAD!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440237324768435602.post-51074732178051970772012-06-05T14:24:52.331-07:002012-06-05T14:24:52.331-07:00So then whats up with all this overdoce ovcer this...So then whats up with all this overdoce ovcer this drug?

We have sought this escape since as long as we have existed. Hince the alchohol, shrooms, peyote, and other natural occurring "drugs" our ancestors used. As a parent that has been drug free for over 10 years I have to say I'd rather my son tell me he was using a "natural" high instead of a synthetic one. If the government only realized that people ARE going to get high and the only so called cure for the drug epidemic is to legalize the natural ones. Seriously, have you ever heard of someone overdose on pot or salvia? This is America and I am a legal aged consenting adult. While I agree that there should be laws regulating the age and where the natural drugs can be used, it's ultimately my choice. I'm an adult and it's my risk. That's like saying "you can't skydive because it can cause death".

I own a studio that sells some bath salts and herbal incenses and while I do have some repeat customers, most of them are only sometimers... if america would just stop running to the media and other government ran agencies everytime they did something they fealt guilty for, things would be a lot differnet. take a look at miley cyrus for example... if she wouldnt have started smoking salvia on tv, salvia would still be around in most places today. thank yourselves ppl for all the new laws reguarding drug and drug usage in the world. if yall would just learn to shut your jibbs and do what ever it is you want to do, without the media or police getting involved, theyre wouldnt have to be so many complaints reguarding this subject matter. and btw so far my main ppl that come in to buy the products are usually doctors, policeman, and other government officials.Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440237324768435602.post-9177140679693839212011-06-20T15:39:00.342-07:002011-06-20T15:39:00.342-07:00And how many people were hospitalized for alcohol ...And how many people were hospitalized for alcohol poisoning, alcohol-related injuries or complications of smoking while you were in the ER? (Here's a hint: a hell of a lot more than bath salt victims). <br /><br />My point is not that bath salts are safe. Quite the contrary. But the drugs themselves are only part of a larger problem. Bath salts are the moonshine of the drug war--a war that costs taxpayers infinitely more than the medical bills of all drug users combined.

During the long, long night in the ER while nurses monitored her vital signs over the space of 5 hours (before they finally decided she needed to be admitted for observation because her breathing still wasn't very clear), twelve cases of "bath salts" overdose were brought into the ER. Twelve. Obviously this drug has made its way into our normally fairly rural county, probably via truck stops along the highways nearby. I found myself feeling extremely angry because the woman in the ER room next to my mom's, separated by a thin curtain, was in the ER for the second night in a row from "bath salts" overdosing. I was actually glad to hear the nurses and the doctor on duty giving reading this woman the riot act instead of just being nice to her. Worse still, I am willing to bet that if all 12 of these people have medical insurance, it will probably cover their ER visits despite it being due to irresponsible drug abuse. Now, for those of us who, by misfortune of working in taxpayer supported public sector jobs during this deep recession, find ourselves nearly uninsured due to sharp cutbacks in our benefits, the idea of wasting taxpayer money on treating drug abusers - especially repeat ones like the woman in the room next to my mom - seems a bit preposterous. It's stuff like this that gets my hackles up and makes me see red. "Bath salts", indeed.......Sallyhttp://treecitytimes.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
