Sorry for getting your hopes up http://cardhouse.com/drcliff/office/goodideas.htm Dr Cliff ? "The psychoactive ingredient in marijuana is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). A couple other plants make THC in smaller amounts, most notably the Szechuan peppercorn, hwa-jhou. THC is also being studied for its useful pharmaceutical properties. I'm not talking about the buzz you get from it, I'm talking about the anti-nausea and appetite-stimulant effects you also get from it. So, a lot is known about THC. It's structurally close to several plant hormones, so it stands to reason that all these molecules may be made from a common precursor. Follow along here- that means two thing…

In an inter…

What About The Average Dope Smoker? PR Cannazine 2 October 2008 http://pr.cannazine.co.uk/content/view/700/27/ The National Cannabis Prevention and Information Centre (NCPIC) are really starting to gain a reputation as another bunch of quacks pushing their own brand of junk science onto the community. And according to one Ozzie blogger "The Australian" is the perfect vehicle to publish their crap. As usual, these organisations rely on a tiny fraction of the group they target and somehow make them the representatives of the whole group. Why can’t some organisation come out with a rational, evidence based report that states the upside to cannabis use? Why the doom…
