Marijuana

Living the healthiest life does not include reducing your awareness or covering your emotional or physical pain with drugs.
A friend just posted:
Finally finished the text for an educational manual for parents on marijuana. Hard to express how distressed I am. I have become much more aware of how much damaging information about the drug is being suppressed by the pro-legalization/medicalization lobbyists. The only saving grace is that so many parents know in their hearts that something is wrong somewhere. I intend to arm them so they know what to do.
My research indicates that parents are a big part of this problem because they are using it themselves or don’t really know how to deal with it or don’t know what the facts are. Hence, a lot of work on my part of deal with their unknowing need for knowledge. Like this beginning effort: http://www.narconon.org/drug-abuse/marijuana-facts.html

Last week, CFS and Pacific Northwest wheat farmers launched a class action lawsuit against Monsanto for the escape of Monsanto’s illegal GE wheat in Oregon.

What We Are Not Getting In Our Food

People sometimes ask why I take vitamin and mineral supplements as well as eating a great diet. Look at this:

A study by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) showing the loss of vitamins and minerals in fruits and vegetables since 1975.

  • Apples: Vitamin A is down 41%
  • Sweet peppers: Vitamin C is down 31%
  • Watercress: Iron is down 88%
  • Broccoli: Calcium and vitamin A are down 50%
  • Cauliflower: Vitamin C is down 45%; vitamin B1 is down 48%; and vitamin B2 is down 47%
  • Collards greens: Magnesium is down 85%

You read that right, an apple in 1975 is nearly twice as nutritious as one grown today. This is not good.
