94. The Washington Post "lost" the Breast Cancer link!
Thank you so much robdogbucky, I've read and shared these links.

So sorry about your Dad. Here is a sort of similar antidote his story made me think of. Back in the 90's, my brother and I gave my Mom a small humidor of thin joints. she would smoke a few tokes on one when her knee really hurt and she said it helped.
One of her best buddies in her apartment complex was Joe, a former navel officer and a fellow hockey, football and baseball fanatic like Mom. Joe went through chemo and was at a stage with his illness that if he just ate regularly and gained strength, he could recover. His kids had filled his freezer full of homemade meals, but he wouldn't eat. One day when Mom brought him a joint to try to kick in his appetite. Old Joe flipped out and said.....

"Get that thing out of my house Mim, it's illegal and if you're my friend you will take it away."

Of course, Mom took it away and never mentioned it again. Mom and some of the other neighbors still tried to help him to eat, but they had to watch their friend waste away and die.
I believe this guy and many more elderly folks just have that old-old school perception and the anti-weed propaganda makes me furious.

These links and this news can't get around fast enough.

Thanks again,
Mojeoux
