True. People are to blame, in the form of parents, teachers and unions. With a little mix of GovCo in there as well I imagine.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('SeaGypsy', '
') Scientific method is not that hard to understand or explain. The general lack of such understanding creates the market for such fake science. If the internet didn't exist, we would still get the same bullcrap, from newspapers & TV.
The scientific method isn't difficult to understand. But its results are difficult to accept among those who believe first, and then cast about for rationalizations. Peak oil of course being just such a belief system.

Peak oil is a fact, the belief system is an extrapolation.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ') A few faulty mice studies and a couple of weak population-based cohort studies with inadequate sampling sizes, logistic simplicity and impossible conclusions are not to be taken seriously.
Your attempts to deny the existence of the recently recognized neurological disease caused by marijuana smoking called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome are BS.
Why don't you guys face reality? This isn't 1968, and in the 50 years since then we've learned a lot more about the toxicity of marijuana now then we knew then.
________________________________
Have you aging hippies ever heard of the magazine "High Times"?
Its a pro-marijuana magazine covering everything to do with marijuana. High Times recently published a story to warn marijuana smokers about this new neurological disease---cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome--- caused by too much marijuana smoking.
what-is-cannabinoid-hyperemesis-syndrome
High Times say pot smoking can cause "cannabis induced disequilibrium of the thermoregulatory system of the hypothalamus.” The hypothalamus is part of the brain, in case you don't know.
High Times also says: "While cannabis is revered for its nausea-calming (antiemetic) properties, it’s paradoxical that it causes severe nausea and vomiting in certain people. Due to its widely known antiemetic properties, people who develop CHS will often increase the amount of cannabis they consume in hopes that it will cure the nausea, but it never helps. It goes to show how little we know about not only about the body, but also about the interaction between cannabis and cannabinoid receptors.
And " people need to be aware of the syndrome’s existence. If you know anyone with these symptoms tell him or her go to a doctor and stop smoking."
Face facts. Many scientific studies now show that marijuana causes damage to the brain. For instance, Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome is caused by marijuana damaging the hypothalamus.
Too much marijuana smoking can damage the hypothalamus, resulting in uncontrollable screaming and convulsive vomiting-----a syndrome doctors call "scromiting."
Cheers!

Doctors say "put cannabis in your rear end, don't smoke it"

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'C')anada is further along than nearly every other country in embracing cannabis as a legitimate medicine. Health Canada currently licenses 38 companies to produce and distribute medical marijuana. But as for how this medicine should be taken? We’re doing it wrong, all wrong.
Most cannabis is smoked, of course, and both Health Canada and the Canadian Medical Association are both formally opposed to the inhalation of anything burned. This is why “[m]ost” doctors in Canada absolutely “hate” medical marijuana, association spokesman Jeff Blackmer told CBC. After all, one doctor pointed out, we know opiate-based painkillers reduce pain—but we don’t have doctors suggesting we should legalize smoking opium.
So what to do?
Sit down for this one, because here come the backwards puns. The smartest solution is to bend over and take your medical cannabis up the rectum, one doctor told CBC with a straight face.
Mikhail Kogan is a real person and medical director at the Center for Integrative Medicine at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. As he told CBC, he “sees no reason for people to smoke marijuana medically anymore.”
For one, it’s inefficient. Though most of us would argue the effects of smoked cannabis upon the brain and body are immediate, Kogan argues that the lungs make absorbing “enough” of the drug “difficult.” And edibles are no solution, because gastric acids get in the way.
Therefore, the best ways to consume medical cannabis is via other means. Like under the tongue, with a sublingual tincture—or up the rear, with an as-yet-to-be-marketed marijuana suppository.
Take it away, doc.
“Rectally is actually a lot more preferred because of the volume of absorption,” Kogan told CBC. “You can put a lot more and it gets absorbed a lot better, but not everybody is open to this way of administration.”
