I’ve said this for years:
An apple bud a day keeps the doctor away. Now real doctors (I’m not one, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once) are now agreeing with me:
“Eat a bud a day will keep the stroke away,” former heart surgeon, Dr Dave Allen said. “No other medicine made by man can help in this manner.”
We could always just pray about it. No, wait. That was just for fun. Sorry.
But, seriously, is there anyone that believes that the US would bother pursuing patents for the constituents of cannabis, if it weren’t useful (and obviously profitable)?
From the abstract:
“Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in thetreatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and HIV dementia. …”

Posted by Noor | March 24, 2012, 8:30 pmYo Bman, when you make your way out here, I got something real good for you!
Posted by jrfriend | March 25, 2012, 2:25 amMan,
I’d love nothing more than a trip to Cali. But I’ve been abstaining for a while now (can’t afford it and the job search). To be honest, it worries me a bit since I DO believe it had healing properties. And its not like I am jonesing… I actually would prefer to be an oil user, once per day (or maybe a vape user at night).
… you know… a midnight toker:
(Hint to Dr Doug: I can sing that song damn near perfectly)
Well, actually, I was a space cowboy last night and got to sing my first song with a bonafide (and killer) rock and roll band.
Really, tho, I did do my best David Lee Roth impersonation and sang, “You Really Got Me”, but I love the above song (and I AM a space cowboy), so…
BTW: You should hear Dr Doug’s band (Last Leg) and him doing Eruption. He is a phenomenal guitarist. They did a blues set and he freaked me out with the licks. Truly Amazing.
Back to the subject: I wish it were legalized here (at least for medicine usage). But my dream would be to become a horticulturist, of sorts, and manufacture the particular strains for particular medicinal purposes. Also, I have access to my wife’s farm she inherited that would be ideal for hemp production.
Talk about a dream job.
But apparently, the government is a bunch of lying bastards who are intent to patent the stuff and STILL keep it out of the needy’s hands.
When I come out that way… you are on!
Posted by BuelahMan | March 25, 2012, 6:58 amYou sir, have freaked us all out with your singing abilities. You may become more of a part than you are now with the band. Your FOH duties may include singing a total set with us also. Thanks for the kind words on the band. Sometimes as a player you get in zone. Last night I found that zone. I don’t remember one lick of those blues you mentioned. It happens like that sometimes. “Too Rolling Stoned” was my favorite last night.
Posted by drduhgylie | March 25, 2012, 8:35 amOh, shit.
Hell, I wasn’t sure how well I did because I could barely hear myself (the problem of being FOH and singing at the same time… I couldn’t adjust myself).
First time jitters had me, too (in a way, I was glad we didn’t pack the house like we did the last several weeks, cause I would have shit my pants).
Seriously, tho, Last Leg is amazing to me. 4 rednecks that seriously jam better than anyone I have seen in a local venue. I am not exaggerating. I wish everyone here could see you guys in person.
Even the newer songs ya’ll did were damned good!
