SMOKING FOR SCIENCE

Re: "McGill students arrested on 4/20" | News | April 30, 2008

Recent science from Germany shows how cannabinoids stimulate the
body's production of TIMP-1, which helps healthy cells resist cancer
invasion.

Viewed in this light, the police's war against marijuana seems
downright criminal.

P.S.: The global food crisis is easily and quickly averted through the
industrial production of hemp, but Big Oil would never stand for it.
Maybe because if the U.S. were to sow just 10 per cent of its current
farmland as hemp, they wouldn't need to buy any foreign oil.
