In all we do, we must remember that the best health care decisions are not made by government and insurance companies, but by patients and their doctors.

“For all these reasons, we reject the total prohibition approach and its variations.”
We agree with the opening quote – although it’s not from us. The quote is from 1972 and the only presidential report on cannabis – The National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse.

Let’s take a look at “high” ~
High seas: The word “high” is used to indicate that
the seas are public,
just as “highway” means a
“public way.” In both cases, of course,
“high” also
means “chief” or “principal.”

By Publius Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
A cell mutation occurred about 550 million years ago marking the emergence of animals with bones. This split also marks the birth of the ECS. A 2009 NY Academy of Sciences paper put it this way: “Indeed the endocannabinoid system is a very ancient signaling system, being clearly present from the divergence of the protostomian/deuterostomian.”

Owners of guns must use them responsibly: the same goes for cannabis
owners.
In Illinois, a citizen of any age that owns a gun must pay a $10
fee to apply for
a Firearm Owner’s Identification (FOID) card.

a Cannabis Owner’s Identification (COID) card.

“Hi, my name is Publius and I have been an alcoholic since 1972.”
These words are unfortunately familiar to many. Such words uttered daily
in thousands of Alcoholic Anonymous (AA) facilities, did not work for
me. I would go to AA meetings with an open but often still–inebriated
mind. The stories were the problem. Those awful, all-too-human stories
that people would tell about alcohol and its destructive ways. The tales
of devastation would leave me so distressed / distraught that I would
want to leave and go get a drink. I felt no solace or sympathy at these
meetings – just loneliness and despair.
