WHAT IS MEDICAL MARIJUANA?

There are laws in some part of this country that make the consumption of marijuana illegal. Yet, the consumption of other products is OK.

There’s a junk food store in almost every corner of the town I live in. I can extrapolate, without fear of being incorrect, that many towns are in a similar position. The same could be said for establishments where alcohol is freely and legally consumed. The same could be said about tobacco (even though not included in the graph). In spite of an active campaign against tobacco use, there is a significant number of smokers in the US.

All of the above mentioned substances are laced with substances that may make their effects on the human body very deleterious.

Cannabinoids are plant-based, that is organic.

Maybe it’s time to really consider eliminating the stigma and the illegal status of THC.

The term medical marijuana refers to using the whole unprocessed marijuana plant or its basic extracts to treat a disease or symptom. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not recognized or approved the marijuana plant as medicine.

However, scientific study of the chemicals in marijuana, called cannabinoids, has led to two FDA-approved medications that contain cannabinoid chemicals in pill form.

Continued research may lead to more medications.

Because the marijuana plant contains chemicals that may help treat a range of illnesses or symptoms, many people argue that it should be legal for medical purposes. In fact, a growing number of states have legalized marijuana for medical use.

Poem of Faces

(Walt Whitman)

SAUNTERING the pavement or riding the
country by-road, here then are faces!
Faces of friendship, precision, caution, suavity,
ideality,
The spiritual prescient face — the always welcome,
common, benevolent face,
The face of the singing of music — the grand faces
of natural lawyers and judges, broad at the
back-top,
The faces of hunters and fishers, bulged at the
brows — the shaved blanched faces of ortho-
dox citizens,
The pure, extravagant, yearning, questioning artist’s
face,
The ugly face of some beautiful soul, the hand-
some detested or despised face,
The sacred faces of infants, the illuminated face
of the mother of many children,
The face of an amour, the face of veneration,
The face as of a dream, the face of an immobile
rock,

And more of the drug-shelf, laudanum, caoutchouc,

or hog’s-lard.

This face is an epilepsy, its wordless tongue gives
out the unearthly cry,
Its veins down the neck distend, its eyes roll till
they show nothing but their whites,
Its teeth grit, the palms of the hands are cut by
the turned-in nails,
The man falls struggling and foaming to the ground
while he speculates well.

This face is bitten by vermin and worms,
And this is some murderer’s knife with a half-
pulled scabbard.

This face owes to the sexton his dismalest fee,
An unceasing death-bell tolls there.

Those then are really men, the bosses and tufts
of the great round globe!

Features of my equals, would you trick me with
your creased and cadaverous march?
Well, you cannot trick me.

I see your rounded never-erased flow,
I see neath the rims of your haggard and mean
disguises.

Faces and facial expressions give how we feel away. Could that be changed soon?

~~Artist Bends the Mind by Changing People’s Faces~~

The day when people choose what expressions to wear rather than betray their feelings on their faces may be near. Artist Nobumichi Asai has found a way to project and map expressions onto people’s faces, effectively creating a facial mask.
