Interesting article on the false reality of the "war on cancer" the politicos and big pharma keep perpetrating.

    Thanks
    Emily, thank you for posting the link, interesting stuff. I feel that $$$ make the world go 'round for sure. That's why they push the $180 a pill Emend (which you need 3 of for a total of $540) instead of a $5 worth of Brand B for nausea. They "big drugs" can't make $$$ on weed so they stomp it out. It's enough to make you want to puke.
    peace out

    Actually they could make money on weed, but the problem is that we could all grow our own if it was legal. Just like having your own "herb" garden. Big Pharma would just be pissed off b/c there would be so much competition and they couldn't corner the market. But I'm sure the gov't lobbyists could find a way.......

    I say Roll your own.
