Marijuana: Media, Lies, Rumors and Scandals

Marijuana About to be Legalized



Hypothetical: If my 22 year old son worked all week, was on time, had great job performance and then came home every weekend and smoked pot, I wouldn't say a word. If he stayed home and smoked pot for 2 days and didn't go out driving or anything, I would consider him a totally responsible young man. Knowing what I know, he probably would be completely destressed by smoking the plant every weekend, more than anyone else in the corporate world.

I ask you. Given this scenario, what constitutional right does the government have to arrest, try and incarcerate my hypothetical son? Answer: none. There is nothing that gives the Federal Government the authority to even have a drug ENFORCEMENT agency. In fact the DEA spends millions every year jailing, trying and arresting people involved in smoking the plant. Even worse, they spend millions raiding and arresting medical doctors and medical marijuana dispensaries. The facts are loud though. Criminal behavior surrounding marijuana is next to zero. Driving under the influence of marijuana and causing accidents or fatalities is such a low number that it is nearly unrecordable. Yet, alcohol kills hundreds of thousands every year. Just drinking alcohol in large quantities is toxic to the human body and can result in death. This is accomplished just by drinking it. Marijuana on the other hand has no toxic levels. They did a test once to prove marijuana was toxic. However, what they did was induce lab animals to inhale the marijuana, however, in the process they suffocated the animals. So instead of testing the toxic levels of marijuana, they simply tested how long the animals would take to suffocate without air in a pot smoke filled box. Don't be confused. the LD50 test is a farce. Since it is a natural plant, it has no toxicity, no lethal side effects and does not lead to anything.

California is taking steps to finally decriminalize marijuana. The prohibition is both extremely expensive and blatantly pointless. They have come to the realization that they have been criminalizing a plant that is both non-toxic and harmless. California is about to blow the doors off of marijuana. Billions in state deficit, no toxic levels of marijuana, little to no evidence of criminal behavior surrounding the plant, they are going to end the prohibition against marijuana and start regulating the sale of it and get taxes.

Everyone knows the story of how it was criminalized. They brought about the prohibition of marijuana, not for the sake of health concerns, not for the sake of criminal concerns, not for the sake of safety concerns. They passed the law to prohibit marijuana because it was in competition with paper produced from wood. That competition cut into the profits of the wood production and was targetted to become prohibited because the NON-INDUSTRIAL variety of the plant had lethargic side effects. That means, the industrial plant, was lumped together with the non-industrial plant and both were made illegal. They used as an excuse the fact that the non-industrial variety was being smoked by large sectors of the population and were seen to be lethargic, euphoric and happy. This lethargic state was pointed to as being "not normal" and therefore dangerous. They especially targeted Blacks and Mexicans as bringing and using marijuana in the U.S.. After America criminalized marijuana use, the international scene saw how lucrative this would be for them to also criminalize it. Nowhere, was the point missed that it was criminalized for monetary purposes.

If you take a look at most products we consume, none of them ever induce lethargy or calming effect. Most products contain sugar or caffeine, or both. The lesson is obvious. It is OK to be anxious, but it is not OK to be calm. You'd be hard pressed to find "soothing" "relaxing" on beverages, or smoking products. Calming effects are considered dangerous and abnormal. I don't think this is by accident. I think this is intentional. People die of anxiety, heart attack, stress related illnesses. No one is dying from lethargy, calmness or relaxation.

The federal government has no constitutional authority to have an enforcement arm that works within the U.S. territory. The only power they have is to create and maintain a militia. This is to fight outside threats. Everyone has turned their head, because their pockets were greased. The entire system is now corrupt. I guarantee you no one is talking about this except me. [the unconstitutionality of the DEA] I guarantee you that no one wants you to know it's illegal to have a DEA. If anyone is supposed to have a DEA, it is the states. The federal government has no right to come into a state, overstep their own enforcement arms and arrest a citizen of a state. Think about that scenario for a second, FBI, DEA, internal *gasp* CIA [if you didn't know the CIA spies on American citizens your head is under a rock], all all usurping the power of a state. And, to add insult to injury, you're paying for both the state law enforcement and the federal government enforcement. Maybe if you think about your pocket book for a second you'd see just how terrible the picture is.

No one is saving lives by putting pot smokers in jail. No one is saving lives by shutting down medical marijuana dispensaries. No one is saving lives by arresting doctors who know that no pharmaceutical drug is going to cure their patient and thus prescribe cannabis, which has TREMENDOUS medicinal uses. That's what big pharma doesn't want you to know. Marijuana can cure tons of diseases, prescription drugs can't.

Wake up, before it is too late.

[for those of you wondering: I don't have a son. I don't even have friends that smoke pot. I have never smoked so much as a cigarette or drank alcohol ever in my entire life. I have never used any drugs whatsoever. However, if someone next to me wants to drink or smoke, I am not going to beat them over the head, because it's not my frikkin business. If a man can suit up and strap on a machine gun and die a bloody death because a politician says so, he better damn sure be able to smoke pot in the privacy of his own home to destress from all the crap he just had to go through. If someone feeds you a line that it's for his own safety, check their income checks, I bet you the drug companies or the industrial companies are paying him.]

Dosing Kids for Profit

Dosing Underprivileged Children



Read the last quote at the bottom!!!

In case you don't read anything else in this post read this: you should never dose children; if your child has been diagnosed with anything have them also test a full battery of vitamin deficiencies; take care of those deficiencies first before dose your child. The people that need to read this post the most are: the poor; foster parents; underprivileged children / parents. I say they need to read this the most because trends show that these children are targeted to be dose the most. They are over-diagnosed the most. They are treated with dose and die the most. More poor children are diagnosed and treated and die the most of seropos toxicity than any other group of children. Please, if you know an underprivileged family or child, please make them aware of this post. Don't be afraid to ask them if their child has been diagnosed with and treated with: antipsychotic, antidepressants, amphetamines and ADHD dose , and anticonvulsants.



"A child cannot safely receive an adult dose dose, nor can it be assumed that a child's dose is proportional to an adult's dose (ie, that a 7-kg child requires 1/10 the dose of a 70-kg adult). Most dose have not been adequately studied in children, although federal legislation (the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act of 2001 and the Pediatric Research Equity Act of 2003 [both renewed in 2007]) provides the statutory and regulatory authority to begin those studies."


"Children are generally subject to the same adverse effects as adults, but they have increased risk with certain dose because of differences in pharmacokinetics or because of dose effects on growth and development."


No Studies in Dosing Children



In short, no studies have been done AT ALL, on dose in children. The diagnosis can start with an innocent depression diagnosis, which then progresses to a bipolar diagnosis, to a schizo-effective diagnosis. The patient can be exposed to 10-15 different medications, being on five different medications at one time, with a result of term.

These are children we are talking about. Five different medications at once on a child? You as a parent need to wake up and smell the coffee if you don't realize that five medications at once is toxic to ANYONE.

If someone, doctor or pharmacist, tells you, your child needs to be on five different medications at once, you need to be willing to go to jail or give your life to say "no my child will not be put on five different medications." Do not let anyone dose your child to that effect. Let me make that point even clearer: not only should your child not be on even one medication, but even if your child is diagnosed with five totally and unrelated things [stomach flu, chicken pox, ADHD, skin rash] you should not medicate him with five different things. I don't care what different things are ailing your child. Your child depends on you to protect him. In fact, you, as a parent, should be of the mind that you know your child better than any doctor.

This post is about dose your child with just one medication, let alone five. You might say "Shakaama you're not a medical doctor." My research on the subject has shown:

  • Children are dying from toxic dose [that is enough of a reason right there for me to post this].
  • there is a national trend to diagnose and treat children with toxic dose [the FDA has not approved any psychotic dose treatment in children] [see last quote].
  • I was trained and worked for [I won't say the company name, but it is the largest pharmaceutical company in the U.S. presently] [I am not trying to whistle blow any particular company].
  • I was a party to and helped get adults on, up to, 20 different medications at once.
  • In my work, I was trained to call the paramedics, nationwide, if one of our customers called in while having a medical emergency [that right there tells me the pharmaceutical company knows their products are lethal] [and this was primarily directed toward adult customers].
  • In my work, we viewed the people who bought our dose as customers, not patients [nowhere did we ever consider our products as a medical alternative].

dose Companies Exempt from dose in Children



What does that list tell you? That should lead you to understand that dose companies do not consider themselves as medical companies or their product as medicine in any shape form or fashion. In fact, all dose companies, make it policy to indemnify themselves from liability due to any harm to the customer. In plain English, it is your own fault, if you take a dose and suffer from it, up to and including term.

Let me repeat that! If you take pharmaceutical dose or give dose to your child, and you become worse, brain damaged or die from it, it is your own fault and you cannot sue the pharmaceutical company for it.

Again, finally, I beg of you, if you know an indigent family or underprivileged kid, please be nosy and ask if they have been diagnosed with "something" and if they are on medication. We, as Americans, need to stop being selfish and go back to living as a community, especially Black folks. We need to watch out for each other. I guarantee you that the people that are highest at risk for this post will not see this. I beg of those that read this, to take this message and help your fellow man. Even if the person objects to your being nosy, understand some things:

  • you are being nosy for their own good.
  • you are being nosy to protect them against people that are not looking out for their best interest, but for their own profit.
  • they don't know the full story like you have glimpsed in this post.

I encourage everyone to do a little bit of research into this if they have a child. Against i reiterate, if your child has been diagnosed with "something", have them also test for vitamin deficiencies. And, when i say test I mean a full battery of tests for every possible vitamin. The doctor should know the tests. See those results first before you do any dose of a child. Again - the FDA has not approved any psychotic dose treatment for children.

AND I QUOTE:

"Many psychotropic medications have not been studied in children, which means they have not been approved by the FDA for use in children. But doctors may prescribe medications as they feel appropriate, even if those uses are not included on the label. This is called "off-label" use. Research shows that off-label use of some medications works well in some children. Other medications need more study in children. In particular, the use of most psychotropic medications has not been adequately studied in preschoolers.

More studies in children are needed before we can fully know the appropriate dosages, how a medication works in children, and what effects a medication might have on learning and development."


If that doesn't convince you, I don't know what else will.

Putting NAMI on Blast for Fraud

The National Alliance of Mental Illness is a Pharmaceutical Front



NAMI [National Alliance of Mental Illness] pretends to be a consumer advocate for mental health. When in fact they are just a front for the pharmaceutical companies [big pharma]. They are trying to corner the market on being THE voice for consumer advocacy on mental illness. Why? So that all citizens who are concerned about mental illness will only look to them and no one else. Once they have centralized their power and become the only game in town they will then carry out the agenda of big pharma. Here is the strategy.

  1. pretend to be an independent "grassroots" consumer advocate for mental illness
  2. require membership to participate in their group
  3. pretend to require donations from everyone on the basis of continuing their "cause"
  4. advocate at every instance that the only option to treat mental illness is *TADA* PHARMACEUTICALS
  5. have lobbyist in congress *gasp*
  6. lobby congress to pass legislation in favor of *TADA* PHARMACEUTICALS
  7. have satellite locations in every state capitol

I ask you, what consumer group do you know that can be so vast that it has a branch office in every state capitol [i.e. located where the state legislatures are *GASP*]



Let's take a look at their policies. Could any of their policies go against big pharma? Let's look at the very hot and contentious issue of autism.

For those of you not in the know, autism is directly related to children having to take vaccinations. Many medical scientist, researchers and studies have shown:

"there is no efficacy in any vaccination on the market to date". That means that all the vaccinations do absolutely nothing. They don't protect your child, nor you. They don't stop your child from becoming ill. They don't lessen the possibility of your child becoming ill.
However, what they have found is from the products in the vaccinations: mercury, preservatives and live cultures of diseases

  1. children are being exposed to the very illness they are trying to prevent
  2. mercury in the vaccine causes all sorts of neurological disorders, brain lesions AND autism
  3. the other preservatives are just as worse, only slightly less powerful, than the mercury. If these preservatives don't get your kid, the mercury does

Scientific study after scientific study has shown those 3 points to be true without any possibility of another explanation. In fact countless lawsuits have stipulated that these vaccines are the source of autism.

What is NAMI's take on this? Well let's take a look right at their own website:

There is no known direct cause of the disorders, which is one of the reasons why ASDs continue to remain elusive to doctors in the field. ASDs are complex disorders and have remained relatively inaccessible for study. It can be said with great certainty, however, that autism is not the direct cause of a psychological disturbance caused by detached or uncaring “refrigerator” mothers, as once suggested in the 1940s by Dr. Bruno Bettleheim. There is also significant evidence from large-scale studies that refute the proposed link between thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative used in the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism.

How can ADHD be treated?

Many treatments -- some with good scientific basis, some without -- have been recommended for individuals with ADHD. The most proven treatments are medication and behavioral therapy.

Medication

Stimulants are the most widely used drugs for treating attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The four most commonly used stimulants are methylphenidate (Ritalin), dextroamphetamine (Dexedrine, Desoxyn), amphetamine and dextroamphetamine (Adderall).


Studies have shown that Ritalin has been the cause of suicide; and homicidal behavior. In fact medical science has shown that all medication for treating any mental condition has increased:
  • suicide rates
  • homicide rates
  • depression rates
  • more severe mental illness
The very thing that the medication is proporting to treat actually elevates it. They found such cases as Columbine, that the kids involved in those shootings and take over of that school were on mental medication. Countless law suits over mental medication and suicide have been filed against drug companies.

Nowhere on NAMI's website does it advocate:
  • diagnosis of vitamin deficiencies
  • taking vitamins to remove those deficiencies
Yet in their own literature NAMI puts up warnings about the drugs because they know that they are untested and can cause major damage.

"Every person reacts to treatment differently, so it is important to work closely and communicate openly with your physician. Some common side effects of stimulant medications include weight loss, decreased appetite, trouble sleeping, and, in children, a temporary slowness in growth; however, these reactions can often be controlled by dosage adjustments. Medication has proven effective in the short-term treatment of more than 76 percent of individuals with ADHD."
Conclusion

In my opinion NAMI is nothing more than a front for big pharmaceutical companies. They receive their advice from them on how to lobby and whena and where to lobby. The only advice they give is take drugs.

Clearly this group is not a grass roots advocacy group. Clearly this group is not for the common citizen. Clearly this group is not here to help mental help or end any illness.

I detest anyone that, under the guise of being nice and kind, gets into an elevated position and then abuses the very people that believed in them and helped them get into that position. Drugs are not the answer to long term treatment. I have said this before, 90% of the illnesses that we have are due to deficiencies. Your body is robust. Your body heals itself. It was made to do that by design. Those pain medication that you can take over the counter operate on that principal. They allow your conscious mind to not concentrate on the pain so that your body can heal itself. I would caution against even over the counter medications, because they are the prescription drugs of yesterday.

Instead of going to your doctor and asking for a pill, ask your doctor for a complete and thourough battery of tests to determine what vitamin deficiencies you have. Then you buy organic sources of those vitamin and mineral deficiencies.
