This latest arthritis drug recall kills the GOP argument against marijuana
Celebrex, and all its clones were supposed to be superior to smoking medicinal weed, technology was to supercede anything grown naturally. Now, Trent Lott, Ashcroft, and all the other right-wing assholes SHOULD be eating their own words (preferably in a mid-munchies binge) but no, no mention of the free alternative to these expensive meds.

The more I live here, the more I want to move.

1. Marijuana was approved years ago by the FDA.
That is, synthetic THC. So you can pay drug companies to sell you marijuana in a pill, you just can take it for free.

2. The argument was that synthetic drugs can do it better
without the 'nasty' side-effects.

Well, the side-effects of the newfangled drugs are heart attacks and death.

13. true, but...
Edited on Thu Dec-23-04 07:37 PM by uncle ray
effective medicinal marijuana isn't just THC, it's the combination of THC and other cannaboids together, in different amounts, depending on the strain of marijuana. THAT the drug companies haven't figured out how to do yet.

3. The less people know about how to prevent the inflammatory process
from spiralling out of control, the more the pharmcos rake in the cash, and the more the people suffer for lack of knowledge.

Product Description:
Early Acclaim for The Inflammation Syndrome

"Challem’s new book hits a home run–with the latest research on what to eat and take to defeat our real number-one cause of health problems–inflammation. It’s a message of the utmost importance."
–Jean Carper, New York Times bestselling author of Stop Aging Now! and Your Miracle Brain, and columnist, USA Weekend magazine

"Treating and preventing inflammation has become a major priority and a breakthrough in today’s medicine. Many of our most debilitating diseases can be traced to an inflammatory cause. The program Jack Challem outlines in The Inflammation Syndrome is a great first step in ridding your body of this deadly problem."
–Fred Pescatore, M.D., author of Thin For Good, The Allergy and Asthma Cure, and Feed Your Kids Well

"The Inflammation Syndrome compellingly shows how the typical Western diet promotes inflammation and disease. In a scientifically accurate and easy-to-understand manner, Jack Challem lays out the basic nutrition plan for good health and weight loss–a plan that mimics many features of the ancestral and native human diet."
–Loren Cordain, Ph.D., author of The Paleo Diet

"Jack Challem has hit the bull’s-eye when it comes to identifying the root cause of chronic inflammation–our pro-inflammatory Western diet. Following Challem’s recommendations will not only relieve inflammation, it will lay the groundwork for optimal health."
–Jo Robinson, coauthor of The Omega Diet and principal investigator of eatwild.com

inflammate my liver, but as soon as I come back - or shortly after depending upon inflammation - I'll check that out.

It sounds like an anti-oxidant type book before they were popular. I just hope it's nothing like that idiot Gupta who states that since Quantum mechanics has some really cool implications, you can think yourself out of sickness. Fucktard. Not you, Gupta.

10. If everyone included W, he'd realize he wasn't meant to be
President, and apologize to all the people he hurt.
