294. I have no idea who ''this guy'' is.

Cannabis has been used successfully to treat a myriad of illnesses for over 10,000 years.

However, Delta-9 THC was not identified until 1968 by Israeli scientists. However, the efficacy of cannabis was know for thousands of years. It's efficacy in killing cancer cells was known in 1974. The endocannabinoid system in humans was discovered in 1988. and the feds began issuing patents for synthetic cannabis in 2003.

Until 1937 when it was made illegal, there had been over 280 cannabis manufacturers, making everyhting cannabis from tinctures, to cannabis oils, and other products in the US alone. What the fledgling AMA wanted however, was MONEY. And to get that money they needed sick people. And all these healers out there using natural methods that worked and who practiced medicine that came from the ancient past and which was learned from Native American Indians in this country, soon found themselves being demonized and called quacks.

That was the beginning of the modern medical industry. It coincided with the advent of the chemical advances that were made after WWII. The one that brought us DDT, and other fine products. Now we have over 90,000 chemical compounds that we're exposed to on a daily basis and for which in large part, no one knows what their effect is on human health.

What we do know is that we've got diseases coming from everywhere you look. And yet everyone's so concerned about having health insurance but no one seems too concerned about having good health first and about not getting sick to begin with.

- This bothers me because its all ass-backwards.
