All The Reasons Pot Is Good For You

Marijuana Weed Cannibus is Medicine

Colorado and Washington both passed legislation that legalizes the recreational use of marijuana on Tuesday.

While recreational marijuana is controversial, many people believe that the drug should be legal, especially for medical uses.

See the good side of pot >

Psychiatrist Tod H. Mikuriya, who helped develop Proposition 215, the state ballot that allowed doctors to recommend marijuana for patients in California, began researching marijuana’s therapeutic possibilities in the 1960s.

He believed the symptoms of over 200 ailments could be treated with marijuana including stuttering, insomnia, premenstrual syndrome, and writer’s cramp. Even the National Cancer Institute agrees with Mikuriya — specifically the use of marijuana for treatment of side effects of chemotherapy, preventing nausea and vomiting, increasing appetite, relieving pain, and improving sleep, and that’s why people use cbd products and vapers as you can use fake baby jeeters for this purpose.

While the benefits and risks of smoking pot may be overstated by advocates and opponents of marijuana legalization, the new legalization will help researchers study the drugs’ medicinal uses, and better understand how it impacts the body. These are the most recommended pipes for weed.

Marijuana can be used to prevent blindness from glaucoma.

Marijuana use can be used to treat and prevent the eye disease glaucoma, which increases pressure in the eyeball, damaging the optic nerve, causing loss of vision.

Marijuana decreases the pressure inside the eye, according to the National Eye Institute: “Studies in the early 1970s showed that marijuana, when smoked, lowered intraocular pressure (IOP) in people with normal pressure and those with glaucoma.”

These effects of the drug may slow the progression of the disease, preventing blindness.

It’s better for your lungs than tobacco.

According to a study published in Journal of the American Medical Association in January, marijuana does not impair lung function and can even increase lung capacity.

Researchers looking for risk factors of heart disease tested the lung function of 5115 young adults over the course of 20 years. Tobacco smokers lost lung function over time, but pot users actually showed an increase in lung capacity.

The increased lung capacity may due to taking a deep breaths while inhaling the drug.

It controls epileptic seizures.

Marijuana use can prevent epileptic seizures, a 2003 study showed.

Robert J. DeLorenzo of Virginia Commonwealth University, gave marijuana extract and synthetic marijuana to epileptic rats. The drugs rid the rats of the seizures for about 10 hours. Cannabinoids like the active ingredient in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol (also known as THC), control seizures by binding to the brain cells responsible for controlling excitability and regulating relaxation.

The findings were published in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics.

A chemical found in marijuana stops cancer from spreading.

One chemical found in marijuana, called cannabidiol, prevents cancer from spreading, researchers at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco reported in 2007.

Cannabidiol stops cancer by turning off a gene called Id-1, the study, published in the journal Molecular Cancer Therapeutics, found. Cancer cells make more copies of this gene than non-cancerous cells, and it helps them spread through the body.

The researchers studied breast cancer cells in the lab that had high expression levels of Id-1 and treated them with cannabidiol. After treatment the cells had decreased Id-1 expression and were less aggressive spreaders.

It may decrease anxiety.

Medical marijuana users claim that the drug helps relieve pain and suppress nausea — the two main reasons it’s often used to relieve the side effects of chemotherapy.

In 2010, researchers at Harvard Medical School suggested that that these benefits may actually be from reduced anxiety, which would improve the smoker’s mood and act as a sedative in low doses. Beware, though, higher doses may increase anxiety and make you paranoid.

THC slows the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.

Marijuana may be able to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease, a study led by Kim Janda of the Scripps Research Institute suggests.

The 2006 study, published in the journal Molecular Pharmaceutics, found that THC, the active chemical in marijuana, slows the formation of amyloid plaques by blocking the enzyme in the brain that makes them. These plaques are what kill brain cells and cause Alzheimers.

    What does this mean?? Can u explain me??

    app that connects to default ftp client using a pipe on linux, recursively searches for some files (up to some recursion level),

    • Igor says:

      The first command creates a tar ball of the current local directory and uploads it to the FTP server. The second command downloads the tar ball from the FTP server and untars it in the current local directory. The third command does the same as the first command, but also compresses the tar file. These commands can be used to copy and entire directory structure from one computer to another using FTP server as an intermediary.

    thanx for replying
    But m question is on this —
    ” i want to create app that connects to default ftp client using a pipe on linux, recursively searches for some files (up to some recursion level)”
    I m not getting what is dis?? means how to use pipe

    • Igor says:

      The standard FTP client on Linux does not support any search operations. You can’t use “find” with it. You may want to try ncftp or lftp clients. The only option with the standard FTP client is to do a recursive directory listing with ls -R, dump the output to a file and then use “grep” to search that file. I would suggest trying lftp client.

  • Siddesh says:

    where i ll use pipe in this case

  • Siddesh says:

    ohkk but where i ll b using pipe in ftp

    I have an account with at&t to make my business website.
    Well, I orignally uploaded a file (index.whatever) and it made the page, but it didn’t show up right. Is there anyone out
    here in yahooland that could help me with a premade “something” that I could just upload to it somehow? any tips would be appreciated!

  • Joey 01 says:

    I’m 15 and I set up a ftp server, and I know the basics of html, I’ve also built a computer. I think ubuntu is the best thing since sliced bread. am I technically inclined, or just a nerd?

    can any one give full answer

    Hello. I have a function that validates if the url is valid (it should start from http or https or ftp and has dot and no more than several letters and can have a lot of symbols after /). I was sure it’s OK, but I’ve found it’s vulnerable: once user enters ” http://site.com/” – with ” symbol, it cracks the view of the web-page. Probably I need a better checking. Also I don’t know what symbols are allowed in the URL and what symbols can crack the web-page view or make a harmful sql-injection.
    Who can help? Please don’t send me to the proper sites. I spent a lot of time choosing one or another code for validating preg_match. One doesn’t validate, but another validates OK, but you can type ” or http://site.com/hi and you’ll see bold hi on the next page – not good.
    I’ve found at microsoft web-page about naming files, paths and namespaces that
    * (greater than)
    * : (colon)
    * ” (double quote)
    * / (forward slash)
    * (backslash)
    * | (vertical bar or pipe)
    * ? (question mark)
    * * (asterisk)
    are reserved characters. Unfortunately I suspect some of them can be used for URL. Am I wrong?

    Thank you.
