Introduction Compact
The most effective drug for fighting Alzheimer's is pot.

quote:

Researchers at the Scripps Research Institute in California found that marijuana's active ingredient, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, can prevent the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from breaking down more effectively than commercially marketed drugs.

MUCH more effective than any known drug!!

The FDA should have the honesty and integrity to request Congress change pot laws.

They need to do it NOW before any more people die.

About 70% of people currently in jails (in the US) are there for pot or related charges.

People arrested for pot, on average, spend five times the amount of time in jail as those arrested for manslaughter.

In addition .. Federal and state governments have never fully funded the war on drugs. Local folks are expected to pay for the jails, courts and extra police.

Washtenaw Co. (Ann Arbor) voters just turned down another request for a new jail. For some reason we just can't seem to build them big enough. Oh yes ... the sheriff's department seems to be going belly up also.

We can't afford the police state.

No version of utopia can work forever.

Abraham Lincoln:
"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded."

Ben Franklin:
"Any unjust law is intended to be broken"
