up until a short time ago (a couple of years maybe), insufficient research had been done on either of these drugs to say what the long term effects were.
only recently has it come out that certain kinds of alcohol (red wine etc) can reduce blood pressure.. so, with this in mind (the fact that they could actually be as bad or harmless as each other), why the heck is marijuana illegal and alcohol fine?.

Bryan and Big Tex your not being fair
To my knowledge, there is no study which says smoking a joint a day is good for your health.
There have been several studies started on this subject but they never finished them, I not sure why exactly I guess they got distr....
Is that a bag of chips over there
as you know, i don't come here very often as ian (dansk) is the more chatty one .
i'd just like to say thank you for all your encouraging messages, prayers and distant healing since ian became unwell.
i have shared his tears, fears and joys during this roller-coaster ride.
Big hugs to you ((((((Clair))))))
The love you and Ian share is an inspiration
i have finally quit the denial of my weight problem and realize that i need to do something about it.
i really need to get my cravings under control.
my doctor, my therapist, and my husband have all told me that.
I went the Atkins diet about two years ago and lost 20lbs in about 4 weeks but craved carbs and did not excercise one stitch during that period of time.
Amazingly though cutting down on carbs cut my cholesterol by 25%..something Lipitor had failed to do at 3 dollars a pill.
Now its regular exercise and very little carbs, small portions of potatoe, whole grain bread and not much of it, very little pasta along with a switch to brown rice. I eat less fruit than I used to but alot more fresh or raw vegatables. I drink 2 to 3 litres of water a day which means I can write my full name with a short biography when ever I find a snowbank...its a guy thing.
Swan..three things are always constants in weight loss, they usually keep them in fine print on every diet remedy on the market... reduced caloric intake, excercise and drinking a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day. If you read the ingredients of various weight loss or fat reduction pills or powders Green tea extract is usually there along with extracts to increase your metabolism. Drink the green tea as it supposedly helps curb appetite and has other health benifits...can 1 billion chinese be wrong?...ok maybe.
As far as curbing a sweet tooth...I don't have that problem but it may not really be yours either, your insulin level may need to better regulated by eating 6 small meals instead of just two or three meals. Stevia is a good sweetner relacement if you do your own cooking and baking...the liquid form does not have an aftertaste either.
I'm sure you probably already know everything I mentioned, just thought I'd share what I have concluded through my experience.

FMZ just like birthdays the bible shows it kills ya!
Example..Stephen had a heavenly vision while getting stoned and died.
Some guy got stoned over a woody on the sabbath and died
Even Joseph saved mary from getting stoned so it must be bad.
How clear does it have to be...you got a hole in your head or sumpin.
All things in moderation I suppose, and as far as big deals being signed over a drink and not a toke...I wish the world leaders would share a few tokes...might make things a little better.
me.. a pitcher for the red sox, i think.. how about you?
movie star?
the president?
1) A wildlife photographer...National geographic caliber
i have a very tiny (half a cigar) flash memory iriver portable.
http://www.iriveramerica.com/.
i can offload mp3 files from my hardrive in seconds to the flash memory.
Listen to the radio in the car and cdplayer at home...Blue Rodeo and Bryan Adams lately
when you were a jw, did it ever dawn on you that the organization and god were pretty much the same thing?
if you disobeyed an organizational rule you were disobeying jehovah god.
if you missed an organizational meeting you were showing lack of appreciation to god himself.
I used to give a talk Minimus about Serving with Jehovahs Unified Organization
The main point was that Jehovah was our father and his Organization was our Mother, to be disloyal to either was a direct attack on Jehovah god..all the scriptures which ponited to obeying your parents were even used to emphasize the point that as children of God and his Org we must obey them...oy.
yep, ozzie has decided it's time for a change and come out of the closet!.
the picture has changed but not the person!
this is the pic of a lad who has nothing - yet he always smiles!
Very cool Ozzie
Sometimes I look at what our children have now and what we grew up with and note the contrast..but then all you need to do is see what children and adults alike have in under developed countries and it makes you feel like a heel for complaining about all the petty things that arise.
Speaking of heels
Did you hear about the shoe factory that burnt down.....100 souls were lost and they think some heel did it.
it's right here, in the nwt bible.... .
exodus 23:14...."three times in the year, you are to celebrate a festival to me".. exodus 23:16...."also, the festival of harvest of the first ripe fruits of your labors, of what you sow in the field.
and the festival of ingathering at the outgoing of the year", when you gather in your labors from the field".. so, on the third thursday of november, we celebrate the "feast of the ingathering" by dedicating this day to giving thanks to god for the food and all the blessings we have enjoyed throughout the year.. it's right there in their bible, so why won't they celebrate it?
There is nothing wrong with Thanksgiving...they outlawed it to keep seperate from worldly traditions..ya know traditions of men like no beards and only dresses for woman.
Besides don't go doing everything those crazy Iraelites did...they were so gullible they let an old sheep herder lead them around in circles for 40 years and wiped their bum with a stick...man it must have been easy to follow that group considering the trail of shitty sticks.
I saw Gumby's response and sent two sow bears down to rumage around his tent for mocking the true God.
here's the latest effort of the wt in the uk to collect donations.. https://www.jwgift.org/.
i was thinking of posting some comments, but the website really speaks for itself.
mark
I got on the site and was trapped, just like a porn site I accidentally went to totally unaware that such smut was out there..I have it bookmarked if you don't believe me.
Jim and Tammy, Benny Hinn, Jimmy Swaggert and Jehovah God all looking for handouts and using Bill Gates to get them. If Russell could have predicted this..that would have been something.
