Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here?
Let's talk.

ok, so you mean to tell me that the same stuff i smoke both medicinally, and recreationally's withdrawl symptoms are as bad as cocaine or heroin? wow. you "scientists" as you like to call yourself/, must have graduated from a community college.
marijuana isnt as addicting as either of those drugs, and as for withdrawl symptoms; they dont exist. and i can say that as a frequent user of 8 years.
i started smoking when i was 10 years old, and it did wonders for my ADHD, bipolar, and scoliosis. after i had moved away, i quit for 2 years, cold turkey. something that is HARD to do with cigarettes; and damn near IMPOSSIBLE to do with cocaine or heroin. no withdrawls, and no fiending. i started back up after that 2 year time period because my DISORDERS were causing me problems, not the fact of not having it.
the only reason these scientists are saying all of this bullshit is because theyre paid to do so. the FDA and DEA go to these people, and tell them what to write. the DEA makes more money making busts on the growers community and distributors, therefore making it profitable to keep illegal, especially when its the most used "drug" in the US; NOT TO MENTION the FDA keeping it illegal so they can make all of these man made drugs that sometimes dont even work, just to make those whom are already rich, richer (I.E: Baxter labs H1N1 vaccine that killed more of their test subjects than they cured. as well as them creating the virus themselves off the coast of the cayman islands) as well as unknowingly making the doctors in the hospitals legalized pill pushers, which makes the companies more money, which in turn goes back to the government, allowing them to maintain their stranglehold over the medical world, Hmm, funny thing how obama is trying to push this healthcare issue isnt it? and these arent theories people, these are hard facts that most of those scientists and government higher-ups dont want you to know, you just have to put two and two together, and times it by all of the past events, like them keeping the hemp industry down so the timber industry could prosper during the late 1800's
So; here is what im going to do:
im going to conduct a study of my own seeing as how im just as capable of doing the same study as the 12 participants were involved in. starting today; november 5th, 2009; im quitting marijuana for 30 days cold turkey, and documenting the results. and unlike the scientists, i wont bullshit around with the facts or the outcome. this will be 100% truth based, and un-biased by governmental officials. im 19 years old by the way, so marijuana has been in my life long enough to definitely show some form of withdrawl symptoms if they actually show
i believe in this plant as well as the community of people that it has helped for generations
i would gladly do this for the sake of those who share my passion and beliefs for this herb. and hopefully, this will bring some light to the scientists and the corporate drug pushers that we are not an ignorant group of people and that you dont need a degree to perform a study and deliver the REAL results to the same people that both enjoy and use this herb as a medicine
Contact me at xKero.Scenex@yahoo.com if you want updates on the study.
i'll be doing day to day updates on the test which includes hours of sleep attained,
mood (excluding random events during the day that would normally piss people off) and ability to stay calm (pertaining to the irritability) as well as documenting any other unusual things that may co-inside with withdrawl symptoms.
oh and for the record; im pretty sure only 9 finished because the other 3 knew it was a bullshit study and wanted to resume living their lives as humans, instead of test subjects
