It's okay. Don't worry about your spelling. We get the idea from your posts that you are a complete idiotic moron.

Get a prescription

Yes ive heard it does help with MS. If you are having that much pain and not finding relief except from that then talk to your DR. bc there is a pill he can prescribe you that is marijuana. Thats one way to find out if it will help you...Good luck.

1) Hemp is among the oldest industries on the planet, going back more than 10,000 years to the beginnings of pottery. The Columbia History of the World states that the oldest relic of human industry is a bit of hemp fabric dating back to approximately 8,000 BC.

2) Presidents Washington and Jefferson both grew hemp. Americans were legally bound to grow hemp during the Colonial Era and Early Republic. The federal government subsidized hemp during the Second World War and US farmers grew about a million acres ofhemp as part ofthat program.

3) Hemp Seed is far more nutritious than even soybean, contains more essential fatty acids than any other source, is second only to soybeans in complete protein (but is more digestible by humans), is high in B-vitamins, and is 35% dietary fiber. Hempseed is not psychoactive and cannot be used as a drug. See TestPledge.com

4) The bark of the hemp stalk contains bast fibers which are among the Earth's longest natural soft fibers and are also rich in cellulose; the cellulose and hemi-cellulose in its inner woody core are called hurds. Hemp stalk is not psychoactive. Hemp fiber is longer, stronger, more absorbent and more insulative than cotton fiber.

5) According to the Department of Energy, hemp as a biomass fuel producer requires the least specialized growing and processing procedures of all hemp products. The hydrocarbons in hemp can be processed into a wide range of biomass energy sources, from fuel pellets to liquid fuels and gas. Development of biofuels could significantly reduce our consumption of fossil fuels and nuclear power.

6) Hemp grows well without herbicides, fungicides, or pesticides. Almost half of the agricultural chemicals used on US crops are applied to cotton.

7) Hemp produces more pulp per acre than timber on a sustainable basis, and can be used for every quality of paper. Hemp paper manufacturing can reduce wastewater contamination. Hemp's low lignin content reduces the need for acids used in pulping, and it's creamy color lends itself to environmentally friendly bleaching instead of harsh chlorine compounds. Less bleaching results in less dioxin and fewer chemical byproducts.

8) Hemp fiber paper resists decomposition, and does not yellow with age when an acid-free process is used. Hemp paper more than 1,500 years old has been found. It can also be recycled more times.

9) Hemp fiberboard produced by Washington State University was found to be twice as strong as wood-based fiberboard.

10) Eco-friendly hemp can replace most toxic petrochemical products. Research is being done to use hemp in manufacturing biodegradable plastic products: plant-based cellophane, recycled plastic mixed with hemp for injection-molded products, and
resins made from the oil,to name just a very few examples.

Fact: In 1972, after reviewing the scientific evidence, the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse concluded that while marijuana was not entirely safe, its dangers had been grossly overstated. Since then, researchers have conducted
thousands of studies of humans, animals, and cell cultures. None reveal any findings dramatically different from those described by the National Commission in 1972. In 1995, based on thirty years of scientific research editors of the British
medical journal (Lancet) concluded that "the smoking of cannabis, even long term, is not harmful to health."

You say pot heads are worthless... I'm not going to tell you who I am, but let me say that I am a person pretty high up in Coffeyville and I smoke every day. The stereotypes are all wrong. I find being high allows me to focus more, it calms me down, and is an over-all wonderful experience.

Very true. Enlightened use of chemicals, regardless of their legality and/or public perception, can enhance life and its enjoyment. Just like I take vitamin C & ginko everyday, THC can make a great chemical contribution to out lifestyles.

People Wake up !
You can't get a job if your on that Sh^t ! Even if you think you can fool your employer with a blosh UA and you got a sure cure for passing it.
Well guess what ! Your only fooling yourself and wasting the time of those who are looking for work in this State that are clean and want to work.

so

So let's face it Coffeyville has a drug problem but its not the pot that we should be worried about. Let's take a look around pill poppers tweakers and crack heads shouldn't this b the focus point if we are trying to get rid of drugs .

no big deal
