    NonSense, bunk,

    you tend to forget to inform the readers that sinse 2006 37000 people have been killed on the Mexican Border, just like the Cambodia Killing Fields

    you statement "Marijuana has no medical value that can't be met more effectively by legal drugs"

    the Legal drugs part, ahh these drugs you write about are "ALL MADE IN CHINA" and there is currently a Major shortage. All Americans would be wise to learn about Medical Uses of Marijuana and Hemp, Reason if Our Good Friend China decides to cut us off, well we are going to have alot of dead sick people oh our hands, Oh don't worry huh

    yeah right.

    Marijuana has no medical value, Says Who, Come on Who, I take you don't have Cancer, go get Cancer then make that comment ok

  • Heres something your wrong on Zook

    This is just one there, are others your wrong on.

    "There is considerable property here in America that IS owned by foreign countries. Do you suppose an American can OWN LAND down in Mexico? Check THAT one out, along with the REST of THEIR rules that apply to "foereigners"......yet it is WE who are so "unfair and mean-spirited, prejudiced, arrogant" and whatever ELSE they come up with from time to time."

    My husband's parents at one time owned a piece of undeveloped land down there. AND if you had did a research you will see we Americans are allowed to buy land down in Mexico.

    http://www.ricardobarraza.com/legal.html#12

    Foreigners, whether individuals or corporate entities, can acquire property in Mexico except in the so-called restricted area since, under Article 27, Section I of the Mexican Constitution, foreigners cannot acquire direct dominion over properties within an area of 100 kilometers along the borders, or 50 kilometers from the coast.

    Foreigner's I guess that would be AMERICANS .....HELLO !

  • Side Effects

    Safety

    Many complementary techniques are practiced by healthcare professionals with formal training, in accordance with the standards of national organizations. However, this is not universally the case, and adverse effects are possible. Due to limited research, in some cases only limited safety information is available.

    Allergies

    Avoid in individuals with a known allergy or sensitivity to hydrazine sulfate.

    Hydrazine sulfate can potentially cause allergic reactions. Rash has been reported.

    Side Effects and Warnings

    The FDA and the US Department of Health and Human Services have determined that hydrazine sulfate may cause cancer when swallowed.

    Hydrazine sulfate is a skin and mucus membrane irritant. When swallowed side effects may include weakness and excitability, nausea, vomiting, pruritus (itching), headache, dizziness, drowsiness, insomnia, weakness, irregular breathing, confusion, low blood sugar, lethargy, violent behavior, restlessness, seizures, coma, and peripheral neuropathies (a disease or abnormality of the nervous system). Sweating has been reported in two patients in a small clinical trial.

    Periarteritis nodosa and lupus has also been associated with hydrazine. Polyarteritis nodosa is a serious blood vessel disease in which small and medium-sized arteries become swollen and damaged when they are attacked by rogue immune cells. Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect various parts of the body, especially the skin, joints, blood, and kidneys.

    Hydrazine has been associated with low blood pressure, abnormal heart rhythms, septic shock, congestive heart failure, and facial swelling. A fatal case of liver and kidney failure has been reported.

    Anorexia, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, and hunger have been reported. Elevation of liver enzymes and "bad cholesterol" (LDH) have been reported.

    Studies in humans have reported possible thrombophlebitis (vein inflammation), although it was unclear whether it was drug related. One report suggested hydrazine-induced platelet aggregation (blood clotting). Methemoglobinemia, a condition in which the iron in the hemoglobin molecule (the red blood pigment) is defective making it unable to carry oxygen effectively to the tissues, has been noted.

    Hydrazine sulfate has been reported to cause paresthesia (upper and lower extremities), arthralgia or pain, depression, distorted sense of taste, palpebral tic, slurred speech, and hiccup; it may also affect fine motor functions. A paresthesia is a sensation of burning, prickling, tingling, or creeping on the skin that is often seen in multiple sclerosis (MS). Hydrazine sulfate either inhaled or used on the skin may cause irritation, burns, and permanent damage to the eye. Mydriasis (dilation of the pupil) and nystagmus (rapid involuntary oscillation/movement back and forth of the eyes ) have been reported.

    In a clinical trial, one patient had visual and auditory hallucinations.

    A chest X-ray of a person who handled hydrazine for six months showed fluid in the lungs. An autopsy revealed severe trachea inflammation, bronchitis, and death due to pneumonia. Oral hydrazine sulfate may cause irregular breathing. Inhaled or topical use of hydrazine sulfate may cause bronchial mucus destruction, pulmonary edema, cancer, and death. Dyspnea (shortness of breath), rhinitis (inflammation of nasal mucosa), and cough have also been reported.

    Use cautiously with drugs that are toxic to the liver or kidneys or in patients with liver or kidney disorders.

    Hydrazine sulfate may lower blood sugar levels. Caution is advised in patients with diabetes or hypoglycemia, and in those taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that affect blood sugar. Blood glucose levels may need to be monitored by a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist, and medication adjustments may be necessary.

    Hydrazine sulfate may cause high blood pressure. Caution is advised in patients taking drugs that increase blood pressure or in patients with high blood pressure.

    Use cautiously with sedatives, antihistamines, drugs used to treat seizures, bleomycin (a chemotherapy drug), and antipsychotics.

    Avoid with antidepressants (monoamine oxidase inhibitors, selective serotonin reupate inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants), meperidine, sympathomimetics, cyclobenzaprine, dextromethorphan, and levodopa due to the possibility of hypertensive crisis (dangerously high blood pressure) and/or serotonin syndrome.

    Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

    Hydrazine sulfate is not recommended in pregnant or breastfeeding women due to a lack of available scientific evidence.

    Hemp Oil

    None

    Okay This comment is for everyone here but especially mtnhomer.

    Q:Does marijuana pose health risks to users?

    Uh yes it does anything you burn and inhale poses a health risk. Being around a camp fire poses a health risk, getting into a car poses a health risk, walking down the street poses a health risk. But guess what it is a choice, exactly what America is suppose to be based on, whether or not its legal, you have a choice to wear a seatbelt right. Now get this, more people die every year drinking alcohol, smoking cigaretts, drinking diet soda, using asprin, using a car, drinking caffine, and even eating fast food than people using marijuana.

    And guess what else, NO ONE, NOT A SINGLE PERSON HAS EVER DIED FROM OVERDOSEING ON marijuana, wanna know why? Because it is impossiable for the human body to ingest enough THC in one setting to kill you. When the government tested it on monkeys they continuously pumped marijuana smoke into the monkey's system using gas masks (minus the very much needed oxygen), and continued to pump untill it killed the monkey... Well after the monkey fell asleep anyways.

    Next we have the one joint = five ciggarretts, that is totally bogus, first of all its 2011 no one smokes joints anymore, using a BONG filled with water filters out alot of the harmfull chemicals in the smoke, vaporizing takes even more out leaving only the THC behind, then there is also edibals, some people dont even smoke it, they can eat it, or even drink it, having no effect on your lungs.

    Next we have the people going to rehab for it. When faced with a judge telling you that you can either go to jail or go to rehab, what would you choose? Obviously the place that has more freedoms right, and instead of months its only weeks.

    Q. Does marijuana harm anyone besides the individual who smokes it?

    The only people its harms are the people that are against it, people go years without being caught, then the family finds out about it, and they make it a big deal.

    Marijuana affects many skills required for safe driving: alertness, the ability to concentrate, coordination, and reaction time. These effects can last up to 24 hours after smoking marijuana. Marijuana use can make it difficult to judge distances and react to signals and signs on the road.

    Alcohol does the exact same thing, only at a higher level, people still drink and drive today, I hear country songs at work everyday that condones drinking and driving, i know cops that drink and drive. Who would you rather be on the road with, the drunk who doesnt really care what he is doing or is possibly blacked out, or the stoner driving slower and trying to avoid getting pulled over? And trust me on this if i grew up in a family where i had to decide if i wanted my parents to be Stoners or Alcoholics, I would pick the Stoner parents everytime. You never here about a stoner coming home from the bar or whereever and beating his wife and kids. If you had to pick one or the other who would you choose? (Lucky for me i have wonderful parents who never used any subtance)

    Q. Is marijuana a gateway drug?

    This is my favorite, because i can guarantee that of every person that has used any type of substance, used alcohol, ciggarretts, or even caffine, FIRST. The only reason people call it the "GATEWAY DRUG" is because it is illegal, people think to themselves "well i already broke the law once, so may as well try something else."

    and those are the people that have no self control. If marijuana were really the gateway drug we would have about 100 million users of other drugs individually and that's just not the case.

    Marijuana is a dangerous, addictive drug that poses significant health threats to users.

    So is alcohol. Make that illegal. Oh, wait, we already tried that! The prohibition act--which might I add did not work and is not working with marijuana.

    Marijuana has no medical value that can't be met more effectively by legal drugs.

    Oxycotin is pretty much the same as heroin.

    Vicodin does the samething as pot, but if you dont eat anything with vicodin it messes up your stomach, pot makes you eat. What would you choose? A pill with a laundry list of side effects or a natural plant that does not cause other issues to your health?

    Pot can help with eating disorders, and YES it is a pain killer. Yes it can cause anxiety, thats because its illegal, if pot users didnt have to be worried about being caught it wouldnt be a problem. As far as muscle loss goes, hit the gym go swimming, whatever it takes.

    Marijuana users are far more likely to use other drugs like cocaine and heroin than non-marijuana users.

    How would you know if you have never tried it?

    Yes i have used pot, no i dont use it now, i do support it, but not one time while using it did i ever say to myself "this makes me want to use cocaine and heroin." That is a stupid claim.

    Drug legalizers use "medical marijuana" as red herring in effort to advocate broader legalization of drug use.

    Yes i support legalization of marijuana, but guess what everthing else needs to remain illegal, i even believe that alcohol should be illegal. Cigarett companies wont tell you what they do to cigaretts, what other chemicals they put into it. Well i can tell you right now what growers do to pot, they grow it, they clip it from the stem, hang it upside down and dry it, weigh it out, bag it up and sell it. And all the non taxed money goes right into there pocket, and they go out and buy cars, boats, jet skies, houses, take care of kids, and other family members, and even pay bills with that money.

    Of course any information you get from a government site is going to tell you all sorts of bad things about pot, but there are plenty of legal things that are ten thounsand times worse than a little bit of pot.

    Legalization would open up so much opportunitys for America, you have the users that ingest it or smoke it, then you have the world of HEMP, clothing, paper, gasoline, rope, all sorts of different things. The Declaration of Independents was written on hemp paper, fords first car ran off of hemp fuel. Big Oil saw Hemp as a threat to there industry and had a hand in having it illegalized.

    I do think that people should be drug tested to recive welfare, the welfare system is abused enough. I do however, think that a job should not make anyone drug test for less than $12.00 an hour.

    You want the truth watch the documentery "The Union."

    Now im done here, and this is all im going to post because i know it will be dissed and i will probably be called a few names because some of you are like grade school children, but i dont care, (and i mean i really dont care). I strongly believe that Marijuana, Weed, Pot, Indica, Sativa, Green Monster, Cannibus, whatever you want to call it SHOULD BE LEGALIZED. I HIGHLY (no pun intended)believe it would save America, but people need to be properly informed first.

    To Bazookaman your blog is dead on yet again, good blog, when the time comes, which i believe it will, i will be ready to stand and fight.

  • Over 30 years ago, I did a speech in HS about Marijuana and the effects on your chromosomes and your childrens. I still believe to this day that is is bad for you.

    I may be a minority in thinking this. But they lace it with so many chemicals now that are harmful! And I do know that it is a gateway drug for some. There are people in the world who will never have enough stimulation and will justify it somehow.

    That being said. Hemp Oil I think is a very different process and used for something altogether different. I could be wrong in this assumption.

    Call me a prude, but smoking a joint never appealed to me in the least. And so, I never did. I didn't like the idea of breaking the law and I still don't.

    Believe it or not, My Dad caught me at 4 years old pretending to smoke a cigarette. He told me that he would spank me if I ever did. It made quite an impression on me.

    I did smoke a few over the years and could very well see how it could become a habit. But that first warning really put me off smoking. So Dad must have put the Fear of God into me at an early age.

    All things put to our use in this world can be used for bad or good. Medical Use of Marijuana is something I think should be a personal thing between you and your doctor.

    Taking illegal drugs has never appealed to me. I guess because I was more afraid of what my parents would do if I happened to get arrested. But then again, I have a hard time remembering to take my vitamins too.

    sometimes there are just things that cannot be agreed upon. You will always have people who ruin their lives through excess and others who can do almost anything and never have a problem.

    I think that I would have a problem should I choose to drink or take drugs. Therefore, I choose not to introduce that to my already complicated life.
