First: college roommate was healthy considering SAD etc. but came down with pneumonia after she started smoking pot. Second: My youngest brother was very sick as a baby with croup, bronchitis, and pneumonia. After receiving heavy vibrator treatments to his back when he was about 2 years old, he didn't have any more trouble with it. Until he started smoking pot in high school. Back to bronchitis and pneumonia. Maybe it was just coincidence, but we should be most concerned with building our health. Just not sure this wouldn't be more of a hindrance than a help on that score. What are the effects of marijuana on the immune system?

Why shouldn't people have the option to choose this over some pharmaceutical of unknown makeup.... Why?? Politics!! That's why. It boggles my mind to think of the history of this plant and that the reasons it was originally banned are still enforcing negative connotations on it to this day. Fortunately we are starting to wake up! :) HI Kevin & Ann Marie-

You are put into a frame of mind that makes you examine your life and the world you live in. In a sense you really are seeing the world in a new and beautiful way; for what it is and what really matters. And this is not something that fades away after the effects wear off. Forever you will see the world differently and it truly is a spiritual awakening for the open minded responsible person. What could be worse for the pharmaceutical giants and it's partner modern medicine, than the masses of its patients deciding that they would rather have marijuana than these horrible chemicals for there ailments? It disturbs me to use the word medicine in the same sentence as the word pharmaceutical, but that is the world we live in. Peace to you all.

I definitely agree that marijuana is sooo much better than alcohol. alcohol is the devil hahaa. anyways i had a question about tea What are your favorite types of tea/healthiest? & do you boil your water & then let your tea cool to drink it. or do you warm the water below 110 degrees? & for the person who asked if tea destroys enzymes from what you already ate, i usually drink tea on an empty stomach first thing in the morning or at night. C: Great Show!

Could you remind people to chill out a little bit and be nice? Some people can be really mean, and I don't think its called for on this board. Its one thing to say this is my opinion, this is how I feel, and this is why. It is quite another to tackle someone with your words. This board to supposed to be about health, and helping one another out, not bashing another due to different beliefs. Look if you think dancing naked while wearing a jester's hat makes you a healthier person so be it, I would surely disagree with you, but I wouldn't punch you out because of it. Its ok to disagree, its ok to think something is wrong, but its not ok to anihilate. Does that make sense? Thanks Kev and Annmare for all you do. Hey Kev,

lots of wise compassionate informed folks, and lots of propagandized dare graduates as well. i am clearly for total legalization, obviously. to demonize the most profoundly beneficial plant energy to ever grace us or our planet is certainly ignorant and even violent. yes really, the most beneficial. show me one other energy whose many varieties give us some of the best food on the planet, best natural fibers on the planet, best living fuel on the planet, most non-toxic healing medicine on the planet, and as if all that was not enough, it is also a profound teacher and sharer of peace and compassion for ALL life. many years ago, i had an experience with this plant that forever changed my life (and the health of life on earth). i had not ingested this herb for over four years when this occurred, and one reason i had stopped was because of the extreme insights i was getting when i used it, and they were too extreme for me at that time, so i walked away. there is NO physical addiction, ever. anyone can be addicted to anything psychologically but that is not the plant's doing. but this night, in october of 1986, a friend came to visit, and brought some, and i chose to ingest it. we had planned to make a bunch of different fried chicken recipes that night. so i ingested this insightful herb, and then went to rinse off the chicken. and the first one had a broken leg, and then the second one did, and then the third. by this time i was screaming, horrified. i had cooked chicken countless times, but this time something got through. something was horribly wrong here. these critters were being horribly abused. they were not barnyard animals having a good life, pecking around in the dirt, having their head chopped off quickly and compassionately after a good life. this was in 1986, and not many, including me, knew yet about factory farming, but the chickens knew, and that night, with the helpful insight of this holy sacred gift from great spirit, i woke up and became aware. the incident did not prompt me to again begin ingesting the herb. what it did do was prompt me to learn about nutrition, because i choose to refuse to support violence. i read dr john mcdougall's book "the mcdougall plan", discovered that animal products are actually deadly toxic to us, so as my new year's resolution i stopped eating them. yippee! so many animals saved! in a cannabis based, peace-oriented world, we could turn our prisons into healing centers, we would have a lot more smiles on our faces, and laughter in our hearts, compassion in our lives, and so much more. everyone could thrive, even those currently thriving on the abominations of war. imagine a peace oriented world. cannabis can be the catalyst that brings us there. thanks for bringing this topic up, kevin. i appreciate you and annmarie --and johnny five in the background there- very much. peace to you and to ALL life. aho wowie!
