2. General Blood Tests

   i've been thinking about general bloodtests (other than for lawfull purposes or work related/drug tests) like general checkups etc and was wondering if not only cannabis but other drugs show up in these or are drugs something they have to specifically test for ? and if illicit drugs do show up in your bloodstream is your gp bound by law to maintain doctor/patient confidentiality or report it to the authorities?

3. where are all the hasheaters?

   i don't see alot of info on injestion in this forum. i m a med user who suffers from severe chronic pain. i find that hashish injestion is one of the most effective pain management uses out there. i put about a 1/4 gram or less of hashish on a spoon with some olive oil, heat it up really good over a hot stove element and then cool it off and injest it orally. works for me. almost a narcotic like high. not paranoid at all. try it. http://www.bluegrasseeds.com/ubb/image_uploads/Dsc00110.jpg jrs

5. DEA's views on Medicinal MJ

   Have a look at the useless DEA's "facts on medical MJ" DEA - "Medical" Marijuana - The Facts Marijuana Exposing the Myth of Smoked Medical Marijuana I am not surprised they didnt even bother to mention that other way for medical MJ users is consuming them orally.... it's fair a lot more healthier if you grew your own or know the grower and consume orally.
