Methadone Good & Safe! : Marijuana Dangerous?

With over 100 patients a year dying from Methadone and Oxycodone, both prescription drugs, my exalted status as the most dangerous doctor has taken a fall to the bottom.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - On April 1, 2009 the Oregonian newspaper headlined Prescription Drugs Top State OD’s (Lethal Overdoses). The top of the list was Methadone followed by Oxycodone (Hillbilly Heroin) but included illegal drugs Heroin, Meth and Cocaine.

This was not surprising to me because the above drugs have been found to be universally lethal everywhere they are available.

Op Ed: How `Information`
Becomes Knowledge
For Wise Decisions

“Informed Opinion” Shaped By Ethical Learning Process: Part Two

(EUGENE, Ore.) - Famously, not too long ago, a very wise economist stated: “"Everyone is entitled to his own opinion; but not his own facts."

Daniel Patrick Moynihan can hardly be seen as a radical: His insights are strongly welcomed by all who seek the truth about economics, ostensible science now at the heart of life for all around the world.

Documentary on PTSD Needs Help to Reach Completion (VIDEO)

The hour-long program could help hundreds of thousands; we are looking for Americans who care to lend a hand.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Hundreds of thousands of American combat veterans are suffering from the effects of combat and war. The symptoms of PTSD: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, are wide ranging.

The current conflicts continue to generate PTSD in our troops, and they join the ranks of veterans of the Persian Gulf War, Lebanon, Vietnam, Korea and WWII as survivors of things that no man or woman should ever witness in a civilized world.

The Conservative Dilemma

One of Einstein’s most famous quotes is, “God does not play dice with the universe,” believing until his dying day that the universe is predictable if we can just look deeply enough.

(CALGARY, Alberta) - “It is the theory that decides what we can observe,” said Albert Einstein.

By this he meant that if physicists used one tool to measure light, they would see light as a wave; and, using another tool, they would see light as a particle. To show how seriously physicists take this duality, in 1906 British physicist J. J. Thomson was awarded the Nobel Prize for proving that light and electrons are particles. In 1937 his son, George, received the Nobel Prize for proving that light and electrons are waves.

President Obama, Medical Marijuana and Mexican Millionaires

About 1 million Americans are in jail or prison for just smoking cannabis. It costs about $40 thousand a year to keep them in jail. Each one could be earning about $20 thousand a year and paying taxes. This really is crazy.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - Instead of writing this to the President, I direct it to a kanaka connoisseur of maui wowie and kona gold with some knowledge of the Hawaiian panoles who found no dangerous/harmful effects and used it as a tranquilizer/stimulant.

The govt. estimates that about 90 million people have used cannabis and found it is not harmful and only slightly habit forming. They enjoy the effects.

African Reflections, Part One: The Lion Mates Tonight (SLIDESHOW)

Seeing these mating animals had the unexpected effect of reminding me that I had a job to do, at home.

(AGOURA, Calif.) - ShortRib (my wife) and I went on our honeymoon, shortly after getting married at the end of last year.

It was an exotic trip and one we wouldn’t have undertaken, given the subsequent economic collapse, had we not already paid for the trip (which was non-refundable).

The Lobby`s Role in America

Americans fought the Revolutionary War against taxation without representation but the crimes of the Brits against the American colonies do not even come close to 
the crimes of Israel. So why does nobody speak up?

(DUBAI, UAE) - It finally seems acceptable, even within polite circles, to discuss the role of the Israeli Lobby on US foreign policy. AIPAC’s recent success in deposing the almost National Security Chief Chas Freeman stimulated much free thought worldwide.

Freeman made it clear that he blamed certain “unscrupulous people with a passionate attachment to the views of a political faction in a foreign country whose aim is to prevent any other view other than its own from being aired.”
