In keeping with my last post,

where I used THC balm to ease my elbow pain, I see today on CNBC, The Financial Channel, that GW Pharmaceuticals, a UK company that does research here in Colorado, (where the rightwingnuts(R) have lost power) developed a cannabis based drug that significantly reduced seizures in children suffering from epilepsy. This has been known, anecdotally, for quite a while with many families moving to our state to get medical marijuana, because the Repubs (who are against legalization, nearly EVERYWHERE) in their own state would jail them for providing help to their children.
Same old shit from the same jerks. 'I don't like it, so YOU can't have it', BUT, they claim to hate big govt. Can you say hypocrites? If you don't like it FINE, don't use it, but don't force your views on everyone.
The company that developed Epidiolex saw their stock rise over 100% when the clinical trial results were announced. I'm sure it's just the first of MANY new cannabinoid based meds that will be developed once the scientists (another group the Pubs 'just don't get') are allowed to do their research.
Just like Nancy Reagan changed her tune on stem cell research (killed by GW and the Pubs, for religious reasons) when her Ronnie was afflicted by a disease that stem cells could help fight. Funny, how the Pubs come around when it's THEMSELVES who can be helped, which will become increasingly more obvious as scientists are allowed to use THC in all types of research, without fear of being thrown in prison by the jackbooted Repub goon squads.
Nothing new here, but sometimes the Repub mindset gets 'outed' in such obvious reasons that anyone (except the sheep, of course) can see how stupidly ridiculous they actually are. Mark my words, there will be MANY THC based medicines coming onto the market, now that scientists are allowed to do their job, freed from Repub bullshit.

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...
