proclamation of the Dutch Health dept

[Ferre]

I found a proclamation of the Dutch Health dept. that might be of any help showing people cannabis isn't just a "hippie thing". This is an official gouvernment signed document.

 

Cannabis has been known for several thousands years in herbal medicine. Its active substances are the cannabinoids, especially tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Over the years, Cannabis Sativa, as the herb is officially known, has been claimed to increase the appetite, relax the muscles, sharpen the mind, improve mood, have a sedative effect, ease fear, and combat pain and nausea. (Health Council of the Netherlands. Standing Committee on Medicine. Marihuana as Medicine. Rijswijk: Health Council of the Netherlands, 1996; publication no. 1996/21).

don't know about "sharpen the mind" and "ease fear". Lots of people find the opposite effects from what I've seen.

[cannabinol]

It made me sharp and fearless, it did...
