I'm a great source of useless imformation :: Wino worms show booze tolerance By Kylie Walker 16dec03 MUTANT worms may hold the key to why some drinkers can booze all night without a slur or stumble – yet others disgrace themselves after just a few. Hundreds of worms got wasted when US researchers set out to find out why people behave differently when they get drunk. Most of the inebriated worms wiggled less, moved more slowly and laid fewer eggs before falling into "a state of profound sedation". However, the University of California team found some of them remained sober, even after soaking up the equivalent of the human drink-driving blood alcohol limit. …

It's a bit of a shock, but Steve Kubby and his family have been denied political asylum in Canada. If you haven't been following his plight, Steve was instrumental in California's 215 legislation allowing medicinal marijuana. He fled the United States when it became clear he could not use his medicine from within prison. Steve has a rare form of adrenal cancer, no-one has ever lasted as long as he has, and he has dozens of doctors and researchers backing him up that it's the cannabis. Testimony during the hearings made it very clear that if he returned to California he would be jailed, and denied his medicine, but Canada's Immigration Hearing found that Steve: "did…

Jesus & Marijuana Cannabis and the Christ: Jesus used Marijuana "If you know the truth, the truth will make you free." (John 8:32) Jesus used Marijuana As doubtful as the following hypothesis might first seem to the reader, I might as well boldly state my case right from the start: either Jesus used marijuana or he was not the Christ. The very word "Christ", by the implication of its linguistic origins and true meaning, gives us the most profound evidence that Jesus did in fact use the same herb as his ancient semitic ancestors, and which is still used by people around the world for its enlightening and healing properties. The Greek title "Christ" is …
