Marijuana Is A Lung Cleaner And Expectorant

Cannabis is the best natural expectorant to clear the human lungs of smog, dust and the phlegm associated with tobacco use.

Marijuana smoke effectively dilates the airways to the lungs, the bronchi, opening them to allow more oxygen into the lungs. It is also the best natural dilator of the tiny airways of the lungs, the bronchial tubes - making cannabis the best overall bronchial dilator for 80% of the population (the remaining 20% sometimes show minor negative reactions).

Statistical evidence showing up consistently as anamalies in matched populations - indicates that people who smoke tobacco cigarettes are usually better off and will live longer if they smoke cannabis moderately, too.

Millions of Americans have given up or avoided smoking tobacco products in favor of cannabis, which is not good news to the powerful tobacco lobby-Senator Jesse Helms and his cohorts. A turn-of-the-century grandfather clause in U.S. tobacco law allows 400 to 6,000 additional chemicals to be added. Additions since then to the average tobacco cigarette are unknown, and the public in the U.S. has no right to know what they are.

Many joggers and marathon runners fell cannabis use cleans their lungs, allowing better endurance.

The evidence indicated that cannabis use will probably increase these outlaw American marijuana users' lives by about 1 to 2 years yet they may lose their rights, property, children, state licenses, etc.. just for using that safest of substances: MARIJUANA




Marijuana Helps Asthma

More than 15 million Americans are affected by asthma. Smoking cannabis (The "raw drug" as the AMA called it) would be beneficial for 80% of them and add 30-60 million person-years in the aggregate of extended life to current asthmatics over presently legal toxic medicines such as the Theophylline prescribed to children.

"Taking a hit of marijuana has been known to stop a full blown asthma attack." Personal communication with Dr. Donald Tashkin, December 12, 1989 and December 1, 1997. The use of cannabis for asthmatics goes back thousands of years in literature. American doctors of the last century wrote glowing reports in medical papers that asthma sufferers of the world would "bless" Indian hemp (cannabis) all their lives.

The inhalation of cannabis smoke causes bronchial dilation lasting up to one hour. The bronchodilator effect of orally injested THC lasts up to six hours, but is not so powerful as smoking cannabis. THC aerosols are not as effective as smoking cannabis because aerosolized THC has an irritating effect on the air passages.

THC in a micoaerosol has proved to be up to 60 percent effective as a bronchodilator, with minimal mental effects and no parasympathetic effects. Other research demonstrates that THC defends against the encroachment of emphysema and suppresses coughing. Cannabis has been used sucessfully in the treatment of whooping cough.

Today, of the 16 million American asthma sufferers, only those living in California, Arizona and Nevada, with a doctor's recommendation can legally grow and use cannabis medicines, even though it is generally the most effective treatment for asthma.


Sleep and Relaxation

Cannabis lowers blood pressure, dilates the arteries and reduces body temperature an average of one-half degree, thereby relieving stress. Evening cannabis smokers report more restful sleep. Using cannabis allows most people a more complete rest with a higher amount of "alpha-time" during sleep as compared with prescription or sleep-inducing patent sedatives.

Prescription sleeping pills (the so called "legal, safe and effective" drugs) are often just legislation to restrict these often abused compounds. (L. A. Times April 2, 1991)

Unlike Valium, cannabis does not potentate the effects of alcohol, It is estimated that cannabis could replace more the 50% of Valium, Librium, Thorazine, Stelazine, and other "-zine" drugs and most sleeping pills. It is unconscionable that over the past 2 decades, tens of thousands of patents have committed their own children, aged 11 to 17, to be treated by massive doses of so-called "-zine" drugs in order to get them off pot, at the urging of parent groups, the PDFA, the feds and administrators and doctors from federally approved, private and high-profit drug rehabilitation centers.

Often "-zine" drugs do work to stop these youths from using pot. They also stop a kid from loving his or her dog, and children stand a 1 in 4 chance of suffering from uncontrolled shaking for the rest of their lives. "But at least they're not high"

"The U.S. Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta said that 20-40% of "-zine" drug users have or will develop permanent lifetime palsies (shakes), November 1983. These prescription neurotoxins are chemically related to the pesticide and warfare nerve gas Sarin.

Hundreds of private drug-rehabilitation centers and their leaders keep this policy alive and in front of the media, often quoting discredited reports from NIDA or DEA because they earn fat profits selling their useless or destructive "marijuana treatment" for children.

After all, a relapse just means using marijuana again after a number of bouts with an "authority" This is mind control and and attempt to destroy individual free will.

Rob Fowler story

from http://www.geocities.com/medicalmarijuana2003/index.htm

Welcome to my website. I am a regular smoker or what I call a pothead. I've been smoking marijuana now for about 7 or 8 years. I have met a lot of people who think weed is from the devil. Well I disagree. Marijuana is the safest drug out there including prescription. There is not a recorded death in history caused from marijuana.



Marijuana is it a bad thing? I say not. Hi, I'm Rob Fowler and I have been smoking weed for about 7 or 8 years now, I am 25 years old. I have just recently been charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking. I do not sell weed, never have and never will. I have always said its not worth it, I just wanna get high and be happy. You see marijuana hasn't wrecked my life but this wrongful charge has. Marijuana, in its natural state is the most therapeutic medicines known to man. I know this, thousands of doctors know this and even many politicians know this, but it is still illegal.

As I said I have been smoking weed now for about 8 years. It has not changed me as a person in anyway. I have never had any ill effects from it and that's the truth. The only thing that I have noticed from weed is that my short term memory isn't as good. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. The things I can't remember aren't usually important anyway's. I don't care if I can't remember all the faces I saw at the mall. If its important to me I can remember it just fine.

As far as marijuana hurting me mentally, well it hasn't happened. I can learn just as well, even better today than I could before I starting smoking weed. I know people that believe marijuana causes brain damage or the ability to learn, yet they have known me for at least 10 years, but can't prove that by me. Some have even admitted to saying, yes marijuana has not effected your ability to learn or do things. If I want to do something I'm going to do it high or not high, and marijuana isn't going to effect the outcome.

I suffer from a disease called depression. I have all my life. I have talked to some people about this and I'm in agreeance with them that there is no cure for it. The cure is we have to learn how to deal with it, so we can go on with a normal life. Now I'm not saying that the solution is getting high, but for me it helps. I also have trouble expressing my feelings but weed help me open up more. I have seen a doctor about it and he prescribed there legal drug "Paxil" When the doctor gave it to me he told me that I had to be very consistent with it. He game me a big list of possible side affects. What he didn't tell me is that once your on this drug you can't come off it or you will be in worse shape than when you went on it. (not true with marijuana)

Anyway's before I was aware of that I decided that I would give it a shot. After taking it for about 2 weeks there were some problems, big problems. This problem I was having was in the list of side effects the doctor gave me and of course the worst one got me. Impotence. So I threw those pills as far as I could. Well before all this happened I wasn't a very big fan on drugs the doctor prescribes and you can bet that hasn't changed.

So you see marijuana isn't a bad thing like it has been declared but a good thing. What really gets me is how we as society we see weed different from alcohol. Alcohol is excepted as a recreational drug when it is actually the worst drug of them all. Alcohol has killed so many people, wrecked so many lives but it is still ok. When people drink they can become a totally different person which is not true for weed.

So all I'm trying to say is that we should open our eyes and realize that weed isn't a bad thing. Let's stop wasting money trying to wipe it out when it can't be done. Let's spend that money on the things we need to make us a better society.

If you come across anything on this site you disagree with or think I have been mislead, be sure to let me know. I am an open minded person and am willing to take your thoughts into consideration. Feel free to email me at robfowler24@shaw.ca

Research

Amazingly, MAPS is the only organization that is attempting to resolve the controversy over medical marijuana via the FDA research route.

MAPS' goal is to initiate and fund a serious drug development research program aimed at proving to the satisfaction of the FDA that marijuana is safe and efficacious for specific medical uses and should become a legal, FDA-approved prescription medicine.

Prior to initiating a serious drug development research program that would require an estimated $5 million and 5 years, MAPS first needs to obtain access to an independent source of supply of marijuana that is legal for medical research. MAPS, in association with Prof. Lyle Craker, UMass Amherst Dept. of Plant and Soil Sciences, is in the midst of what is now a six year struggle seeking DEA permission to establish a medical marijuana production facility to grow high- potency marijuana for FDA-approved research.

At present, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has a monopoly on the supply of marijuana that can be used in research, provides low-potency material, and only makes it available to projects it approves. MAPS needs its own independent source of supply since NIDA's arbitrary and lengthy review process for providing marijuana essential to research can derail any drug development plan. NIDA has refused to supply marijuana to two MAPS-sponsored protocols that the FDA had already approved.

Despite NIDA obstructionism, MAPS has been able to provide some analytical data about the constituents of the marijuana vapors produced by vaporizers to Dr. Donald Abrams, UC San Francisco. Dr. Abrams has used this data as part of his successful application to FDA to conduct a study evaluating subjective effects, cannabinoid blood levels, and carbon monoxide levels in subjects who smoke marijuana and then at a different time inhale marijuana vapors from a vaporizer.

The initiation of FDA-approved clinical research with a marijuana vaporizer was MAPS' second prerequisite to starting a serious drug development research program, so that clinical research could be conducted both with smoked and vaporized marijuana. That way, we'd be able to produce data that would compare the risks of smoking v. vaporization and could address the Institute of Medicine's recommendation for a non-smoking delivery system with a system that works with the plant itself. At present, only the ending of NIDA's monopoly on supply (which it doesn't have for MDMA, LSD, psilocybin or any other Schedule 1 drug) stands in the way of an active effort to develop marijuana into an FDA-approved prescription medicine.

Clinton and Obama on medical marijuana

.

The Marijuana Policy Project is noting that Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton gave the following responses this past Saturday when asked by Oregon’s Willamette Week about her stances on medical marijuana:


What would you do as president about the federal government not recognizing Oregon’s Medical Marijuana Program as legal?
We’ve got to have a clear understanding of the workings of pain relief and the control of pain. And there needs to be greater research and openness to the research that’s already been done. I don’t think it’s a good use of federal law-enforcement resources to be going after people who are supplying marijuana for medicinal purposes.

So you’d stop the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency’s raids on medical marijuana grows?

What we would do is prioritize what the DEA should be doing, and that would not be a high priority. There’s a lot of other more important work that needs to be done.

Should medical marijuana be covered by insurance?

I don’t have enough information to know anything about that.


In contrast, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said the following during a March 22 interview with Gary Nelson, editorial page editor at the Mail Tribune of Medford, Ore.:


“When it comes to medical marijuana, I have more of a practical view than anything else. My attitude is that if it’s an issue of doctors prescribing medical marijuana as a treatment for glaucoma or as a cancer treatment, I think that should be appropriate because there really is no difference between that and a doctor prescribing morphine or anything else. I think there are legitimate concerns in not wanting to allow people to grow their own or start setting up mom and pop shops because at that point it becomes fairly difficult to regulate.

“Again, I’m not familiar with all the details of the initiative that was passed [in Oregon] and what safeguards there were in place, but I think the basic concept that using medical marijuana in the same way, with the same controls as other drugs prescribed by doctors, I think that’s entirely appropriate…

“I would not punish doctors if it’s prescribed in a way that is appropriate. That may require some changes in federal law. I will tell you that — I mean I want to be honest with you — whether I want to use a whole lot of political capital on that issue when we’re trying to get health care passed or end the war in Iraq, the likelihood of that being real high on my list is not likely… What I’m not going to be doing is using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws on this issue simply because I want folks to be investigating violent crimes and potential terrorism. We’ve got a lot of things for our law enforcement officers to deal with.”

I am pretty sure they were questioned by somebody looking like this,

America's Real cash crop

from economylive.org



The U.S. produces around $35 billion worth of marijuana annually as the country’s largest cash crop. The information was revealed in a study conducted by Jon Gettman, a public policy analyst, which has put the marijuana production bigger than corn and wheat combined. The study further revealed that the five U.S. states, California, Tennessee, Kentucky, Hawaii and Washington, are producing more than $1 billion worth of marijuana each.

California’s production alone accounts for about $13.8 billion, according to Gettman, who had led an unsuccessful struggle with the government demanding to remove the marijuana from a list of drugs believed to have no medical value. On the other hand, the U.S. authorities refrain from confirming the study’s conclusion on the volume of country’s marijuana crop. However, they confirmed that the government has estimated overall drug use at $200 billion annually.



Obviously the report authenticate that marijuana has become a pervasive and inalienable part of the country’s economy. Gettman further alleged that the contribution of marijuana to the gross domestic product of the U.S. has been overlooked while debating effective control over it.

In the mean while, the official version acknowledged that it is a serious part of the economy however rejected any speculation of an economic argument for legalizing marijuana.


The report further disclosed that the marijuana production has increased ten times in the last quarter century despite a comprehensive anti-drug effort by law enforcement.

Anyway, maybe we'll see this for real, one day:
