being an epileptic, i have long been an advocate of medicinal use. i could produce tonnes of links of scientific and legal data citing numerous precedents that agree with you, but really the most convincing argument is my own personal experience. i rarely ever have seizures anymore. i don't need more convincing than that. :)

Yeah, I hear you. One of the side effects of my pituitary tumour is fibromyalgia - when I was first diagnosed, my doctor prescribed a pile of different pain meds and none of them worked. The only thing that ever alleviates that pain is good old THC.

instead of me getting all soapboxxy, and reiterating all sorts of things that i've already stated in the past, i simply refer you to my old livejournal (which i have re-friended you to, since it is a "friends only" post): http://athoos.livejournal.com/71283.html.

Hmm... well I added your old LJ but when I click the link it tells me I cannot view the protected entry. What date was it? I can look it up the old-fashioned way.

No surprises about the LSD article.
All common sense!

Indeed! Too bad the world of medical doctors is so narrow-minded...

I recall that the LSD "treatment" for alcoholism came out as an after-effect when the army was using LSD as a potential truth serum. Still amusing, though.

the liner artwork of the new MUSE album, black holes and revelations features a mirror image of declassified MKULTRA documents.

not surprisingly, the artwork is by Storm Thorgerson.

Mmm... truth serum. Wish I had some for the Halloween party!

I believe it's called "hard booze".
