Strange but True?

Paracetamol invokes Cannabinoid

Information related to the Pot issue just pours in these days. Medical use is now allowed all over the states under local law, whilst Bush's feds disregard it and move to close down grow-ops and clinics. The establishment media both in the US and here in Britain cough up endless anti-Pot "information" whilst seemingly neglecting its benefits.

I have remarked before on the way homeopathic and natural medicine has been put down by giant pharmaceutical corporations intent on marketing more and more single-function synthetics which more often than not collide with each other to produce wholly unwanted reactions and possible long-term damage. These days too, much of it reaches the public chemist before there has been time for adequate long-term testing, with modern advertising practices providing the propaganda for subliminal addiction.

The above link should be laughable, but it's not.

For a century since it was invented, scientists have not exactly been sure how the synthetic drug Paracetamol worked to ease pain. Now they do! It appears that the common household pills activate cannabinoids in the body. What they you may ask? The very same little blighters that get stirred up when you smoke Pot.

A hundred years of so-called progress just to find the effect is the same as a natural tonic already used for centuries before. Are we being hookwinked or not?

Later.
