Pharmaceuticals disasters like Vioxx, etc, have happened in spite of being ‘tested’ (usually on animals, which are not humans, so how can the tests be relevant?) Animal ‘Test’ results have been shown to be falsified by employees of some contract testing companies, so that speaks for itself.

I mean what nonsense?! How can you tell people marijuana causes psychosis (and criminalise it) at the same time as prescribing it? It may be true that badly bred marijuana causes psychosis, this is not a reason to ban it, it is a reason to improve and increase research into this amazing organism; as what we are discovering about marjuana’s remarkable “reflective capabilities” (clumsy phraseology I know and probably better expressed in many other languages, languages which have -unfortunately- been ground under the Anglo-Saxon jackboot), is far more valuable to society than are the social consequences of what is basically a paranoid and hypocritical attitude towards the plant.
Just think, how many of The World’s economic, political, environmental and social problems would be solved if we legalised the recreational and medicinal use of; opium, coca (in it’s natural state) and marijuana and re-assessed our attitude towards ethno-botanical medicine* generally?

*”Bunkum!” You say? Not as “Bunkum” as saying “Homeopathy?! Vibrational Medicine?! Impossible! Why? Of-course it’s impossible we don’t know how it can happen! In any case there is no evidence that such processes as “the memory of water” exist!”* go to http://www.hado.net/ .

*I paraphrase only slightly remarks made by a Swiss doctor on “The Radio5 Live Breakfast Show” some years ago.

In recent years The British Army has burnt it’s largest ever single haul of Afghani hashish (some 250 tons -approx-).
16 Ounces per Pound, 2240 Pounds per Ton 250 times is 560,000 Ounces. If sold on the street at a very resonable £100/ounce one can see that the total value of the haul is Fifty Six Million Pounds.*
The U.K government then paid the Afghani farmers for the pleasure of burning it all in one go. This harvest could provide revenue both to us and to them (if we can prove capable of doing business like human beings and not like imperialist aggressors). People are dying in Afghanistan, for what? So that corrupt politicians, doctors, lawyers and others can perpetuate the myth that by keeping many herbs, fungi and other non-synthetic “ethno-botanical” substances illegal we are somehow battling social evils (a “society” which on other occasions our “lassiez-faire” administration claims doesn’t exist -see above-), instead of revealling what the persuance of this policy really means to them in financial terms?

*Edit 13/07/10 of original figure. Also £56,000,000 is the basic market value, the secondary and tertiary financial benefits to the economy would obviously be considerable. ” From “For Welfare to Work” by Williamtheb http://medialens.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3067

To start, everyone is motivated by profit. The bill is simply another effort to regulate the intimate aspects of peoples lives while alowing the big companies who are actually responsible for the erosion of quality of life on so many levels left completely free to poison us. And yes, the alternative health industry has some of that too, but it is no where near as dangerous or detrimental as the pharmaceutical industry. More people die because of new, APPROVED, doulble blind tested drugs, than by all the alternative remidies combined ten fold.

You see this isn’t about the LAW. The law can be framed as useful and it might even actually help prevent a few people being ripped off by a few quack remidies here and there. But the law IS ONLY there because the DRUG companies want it there. Don’t kid yourself. It is a lie and a scam. I have not needed a western doctor or medicine, short of a couple doses of antibiotics over 20+ years because I heal myself with herbs. I cannot buy tryptophan in the US because a few people were sickened by TAINTED batches of it in Japan. And the Drug companies used that case to paint tryptophan as “Dangerous” and consequently give the regulators ammunition to remove another safe and effective competitor to their poisonous patents. And THAT is what this bill will ultimately accomplish –not protecting anyone except on a very superficial level but instead give regulators incredible ease in removing competition for the pharmeceutical cartels. This law is purely about protecting drug patent investments.

I don’t need the government to add MILLIONS of dollars in money to verify health claims that have been established for centuries. It is all a scam of Big Pharma. Wake up!

Herbs can counter act the MAN made viruses they will be spreading!
