Buy Cable TV, Get a Free Gun

Meanwhile GOP presidential contenders support a moral crusade to save America.

(APTOS, Calif.) - Guns in churches, schools and bars. Immigrants expelled to solve financial problems. Morality praised as the key national issue.

American politics are getting more bizarre and in some cases, borders on the nutty. Current politics include Republican legislatures in Texas, Arizona, Georgia and Minnesota fighting for their "rights" to reject energy efficiency light bulbs, while South Carolina will manufacture their own state's rights incandescent bulbs.

The Medical Letter and Pathetic Innocence about Medical Marijuana

This is a prestigious Medical Letter.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - This is pernicious misinformation that both amuses and beguiles me because of its innocence of factual information. It appears it comes from ten year old information peppered with the information from the Reefer Madness movie.

About 1,000,000 marijuana users are arrested each year. This means as least 10 to 20 million people are using it with minimal adverse effects.

Medical Marijuana Therapy 101 for Disbelievers: There`s a Lot of Bull Here

How much of the government and media's information on marijuana is actually true?

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - There is so much misinformation in the media about the medical use of marijuana, that getting to the real truth can sometimes be difficult.

VA Blunders with Female Vets

Male patients aren't treated well but females are treated worse.

What is more stressful?

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - Drugs prescribed to past and present members of the military are literally frying brains and causing addictions, suicides, PTSD, spousal abuse when they get home, murder, alcoholism with death or tobacco addiction with death.

It isn't overly publicized, but many psychotropic drugs are being used in Iraq et cetera, now for “Battle Terrors” and complete exhaustion.

PTSD, Anti-Depressants, Seroquel & Tranquilizers
Confessions of a VA Lab Rat

Safe, natural marijuana is strictly illegal, but doctors are fine with turning patients into vegetables on hard drugs.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - I have written and posted about myself being a frontline Combat Infantryman, seeing fellow soldiers crack up on the frontline, getting near breaking up myself and finally being a physician for PTSD Veterans and others.

PTSD is a far more widely suffered condition than many will admit.

Medical Marijuana Vs. Dangerous Drugs

As a registered Pharmacologist/Toxicologist I have decided to jump in with my 2-bits worth.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - Several enlightened patients and others read my articles occasionally and I try to keep at least one small step ahead of them.

I checked to see who says what comparatively about Devil Weed the star of the movie Reefer Madness. I’ve been reading this crap for so long almost nothing surprises me.
