PTSD: Reefer Madness & Dangerous Drugs
Dr. Phil Leveque Professor of Pharmacology Salem-News.com
Marijuana is the Best, Safest Drug
(PORTLAND, Ore.) -PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) is one of the worst afflictions to hit us as thinking people. Although it has been recorded in history for about 4,000 years, it probably has been around longer than that. Even military dogs get it, so it must be much more universal for thinking critters than we have considered.
We, as a country, have recorded PTSD in every war since our revolutionary war, but it certainly afflicted soldiers far before that time.
The cannabis warrior should be home in Canada by mid-August.
(COTTAGE GROVE, Ore.) -In 2009, a dear friend to this reporter personally, Mr. Marc Emery, aka The Canadian "Prince of Pot" was extradited to the U.S. from his homeland Canada, where he pleaded guilty to one count of "Conspiracy to manufacture marihuana".
The then 56-year old martyr publicly acknowledged that he had sold cannabis seeds to American customers via mail order since 1994, and quite frankly, gaining immense popularity as well as making a financial Killing as he did it. For that dung-smearing in ole Uncle Sam's face, he was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment in US federal corrections, which he's about finished having served in multiple facilities across the nation.
"The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. it is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this county is closely connected with this."

shot by the USDA, who denied its existence, until Jack Herer proved it.

Marijuana vs Jimson Weed: Will the real LOCOWEED please stand up?
(PORTLAND, Ore.) -I was introduced to marijuana in 1928 when I discovered that the Mexican kids in my hometown, Klamath Falls, Oregon, were smoking it, which I believed to be “locoweed”! I discovered later that the rolled cigarettes they were enjoying were not Jimson weed, most commonly called locoweed, but marijuana.
Jimson is not marijuana, but produces many similar effects.
