The irony is that truth censoring has always existed. Some of that came out in Nicolas Wade's "science" articles relating to corruption in the DBS, Thalidomide, the use of DES in animals etc, but from your point of view one of the most applicable one, was what the DBS (Division of Biological Standards) which used to be part of the NIH, did (or didn't do) and their capture by the vaccine companies way back in the 50's. Nothing has changed.

Being a geriatric, my institutional knowledge goes back to then because after Dr J.A.Morris (Tony to me) was fired twice, once from DBS and again from FDA after accurately stating the dangerous outcomes for ordinary influenza, measles and the 1976 Swine flu vaccine, I worked with him from 1984 when he had established an organisation called "The Bell of Atri" (after the famour Wadsworth poem) at Maryland University.

Which lead me to Bernice Eddy who was still alive, but who gradually succumbed to Parkinsons.

Tony gave her obituary at her funeral in 1989, and described her work from the mid 50s in trying to figure out why the polio vaccine cultures in the absence of poliovirus, degenerated spontaneously, no matter how carefully they were looked after, and as we know, what she found was SV40 .

Tony read this from his obituary paper, " So there was a time in 1959, 1960 and 1961, when government health officials were frantically seeking means of removal from a tumor-inducing factor from polio vaccines and at the same time the same government health officials were vigorously conducting a campaign to inject contaminated polio vaccines in large numbers of people and concurrently sitting on information concerning a vaccine contaminant which had already been injected into millions.

"Can this event be assigned to the category of an interesting historical footnote? The answer is no."

There is much more that could be said, but this smidgen from a mountain of information, just confirms that the modus operandi of the regulatory agencies is on a rinse repeat continuous cycle.

Hoffer treated schizophrenia with very high dose niacin. The industry did not seem pleased. Niacin got (mostly) Ivermectined. "Anecdotes!" they whined. Interesting about schizophrenics being attracted to THC.

According to Peter Götzsche ex Cochrane collaboration and his not bought science, schizophrenia is a milk cow, not a chemical imbalance in the brain nor genetic, at the most very down and frustrating life experiences, which gives a wild card to open the gates to hell, and all schizo psychotics are as good as idiopathic, meaning they cause hell.

Tying the two together i was on a clubhouse discussion in the summer of 2020 with some growers where one phd guy was saying that it blocks ace2 receptors. And google scholared and found some credible studies in the direction of using cannabis for covid. But i guess it got ivermectined. Having quality ethanol extracted on hand i vouche to say, when i started having cytokine storm symptoms i went cancer dose , and within 12 hrs was a noticeable difference

What do you mean by "went cancer dose"? I ask this because I think many in the public seem to know more about chronic pain treatment than many doctors.

I live with chronic pain. The problems I see are that people like me would have to get mild marijuana. It is also sad that those who could benefit from proper use of opioids are not getting them.

I believe the AAFP recommends extended release oxycodone 20 mg twice a day. In my mid 70s I will be checking on this. The pain is with us all day.

Ivermectin was already FDA approved and cheap, so governments couldn't grab big tax money from it. Cannabis is such a direct and ginormous tax collection possibility for governments.

This leads me to believe that the cannabis approach will be different than with ivermectin.

Cannabis is a complicated issue because of the variable ingredients, and the fact that it affects performance, and so many bodily systems. And it's a weed!

That being said, it is a safer option for people with intractable pain, and I can't argue against that kind of usage.

The hyperemesis patients in the ED are in a world of hurt though.

In a world that is increasingly irradiating itself with cell phones, and men become infertile and more estrogen-dominant with gmo, soy,etc, introducing cannabis (has feminine quality) will make men superwomen, and not in a good way (in my humble opinion)

There are over 100 different cannabinoids. Which one do think is 'feminine'?

Michael Phelps, Usain Bolt, Shawn White are all extreme athletes that use cannabinoids in place of ethanol. A good read on this topic is from David Sinclair- Xenohormesis: Sensing the Chemical Cues of Other Species. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2504011/

To complete the circle, see Hilary Butler and David Pare above. Frances Kelsey was born and raised locally and was able to stop thalidomide use in the USA in the late fifties, contemporary with Dr. J. A. Morris.

Dr. Hoffer finished his career practising in Victoria. I heard him lecture a couple of times and referred a couple of patients. Needless to say he was not a favourite of conventional medical types, including the CPSBC.

In the most stoned province in Canada we still have a programme for handing out free narcotics, although President Trump's requirements may be able to curtail the putative "Harm Reduction."

Thank you again for your work and assistance to Dr. Hoffe.

And what I learned from my humble teacher Vithoulkas in classical homeopathy, not only the far most remedy in delusions, but also a strong predisposition to uro-genital infections, cystitis, vaginitis, urethritis, gonorrhoea, Candida Albicans, Chlamydia, and other creepy things.

Wow…..and it had already begun.

Thankfully here in Canada we can buy weed or it’s derivatives (capsules, edibles, drinks) with regulated THC and CBD content.

Personally I find a 10:10 capsule to be about right (10mg THC 10mg CBD)….I actually can’t stand the smell of weed especially the chronic.

I stopped reading when a physician opens with

"Cannabis use disorder is obviously an important public health topic. Cannabis use is increasing and there is a lack of causal studies proving its efficacy (for anything) or its safety. What’s more, the potency of cannabis is also rising. The drug clearly exerts effects on brain function. That’s why people use it."

Does he not know its FDA approved for Epilepsy and that clinical trial reflects what 100,000s of Epilepsy patients have corroborated?

I always knew the propaganda statement that weed was a gateway drug was BS. Too bad I didn’t realize that with the covid shot, however I digress. Back in the day weed was illegal but acid was not. The number of people’s lives ruined over possession was the crime. But, the indoctrination was thorough and was supported by idiotic films like Reefer Madness.

Kevin,

I believe that it is the CBD component of cannabis that contributes to the pain relief. THC may be contributing to the psychosis risk. If you could create strains that are enriched in each it would be easier to tease out the effects without having to turn to pharma to provide individual synthetic compounds. But no doubt, cannabis is much safer than opiods.

The science and the journals have been corrupt for decades. Forget about what they claim. Take it from Mental Health Nurses such as myself that have worked on the front line in acute psychiatric inpatient units - MARIJUANA CAUSES SCHIZOPHRENIA IN CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS - we can assume they are genetically predisposed AND/OR also recognise that certain vitamin deficiencies ALSO cause psychosis, notably B12 deficiency and D deficiency.

I have seen the lives of countless young people in their teens and 20's totally ruined by smoking marijuana, where the first episode and relapse into subsequent episodes of psychosis is always caused by marijuana. Whilst they maybe non-compliant, in those instances a CTO and IMI prevent the non-compliance but the person still relapses in the context of marijuana use. We all know in the psych units, that they can never smoke marijuana ever again. Ii is common knowledge, regardless of the 'peer reviewed' 'research' and the 'journals'.

Furthermore, I have seen command auditory hallucinations telling he client to suicide and depression recede rapidly once deficiencies in Vit B12 and D were corrected - with no change to the antipsychotic or antidepressant medication in the previous several months. I didn't even bother to tell the Psychiatrist or my MH Team, because I knew they would poo poo the idea that B12 and D deficiencies are associated with psychosis and depression. This client's entire prodromal period prior to first presentation to mental health services with a psychotic episode, was in the context of severe B12 and D deficiencies that had been treated with IM injections. The client was vegan, on a six-figure income. Now on Disability Support Pension. Vegan's particularly need to ensure they are obtaining plenty of sunlight and a well balanced diet that includes foods high in B Complex - esp B12.

In my mid 70s it is clear to me how differently people respond to medications. I would guess then that we are wired differently. What works great for one person may not help another.

I know that living with pain makes every day very difficult.

It is trial and error but many doctors won't listen to this. They are rigid.

Buprenorphine for chronic pain is touted as a great med but many of us have found out that it helps a little but is not at all a wonder drug.

Kevin,

While I really appreciate your posts, this one exposes you are not a clinician.

If you were, I’d likely know that America is addicted to drugs. Don’t follow Trump’s idea that if you eliminate the source, whatever it is, the intake will go into detox. You are not a stupid man, if there were not intakes in America, would phenomenal, or any other drug, have a market?

I’m not certain I follow your reasoning.

There are people with mutations in their Cannabinoid receptors.

I think any puritanical definition of drug use is outdated.

I’ve seen people completely turn around on these and until you walk 1000 miles in their genetic shoes, you can’t claim what is best for them.

MD or no MD.

“ There are people with mutations in their Cannabinoid receptors.”

What type of mutations are you talking about? This is not my area of expertise but off the top of my head any neutral mutation (s) shouldn’t have a major impact on the function of the cannabinoid receptors as far as I can tell…

Correct me if I’m wrong…

You are not unlikely following my reasoning…

There are people with very specific genetic mutations that should make them susceptible to very specific diseases or disorders. Why don’t they ever develop them? What makes them so ‘unique’?

Do you think male pattern baldness is a genetic disorder? If so, would you agree that genetically “identical” twins should either develop pattern baldness, or not?

This is just a clue…

I don't know who contaminated you with the false dichotomy of either Nature or Nurture but never both?

There are genetic mutations with very high penetrance and those that require more environmental insult to manifest.

Part of the reason why I cant follow your reasoning is you write with very confusing double negatives such as "You are not unlikely following my reasoning" or "If you were, I’d likely know that America is addicted to drugs".

Natures or Nurture? This is false dichotomy if those two are your limitations…

Again, just because a mutation happens in a sequence, one should not only know what mutation it is - it could be neutral- but also, ideally, what effect that mutation has or does not have on a life-system.

Wouldn’t you agree?

Mike Yeadon and I had a long discussion about this and we both agreed that just because a mutation, or mutations happened (depending on the type) it is often not clear what effect they have…

Even with APOB gene mutations many people still argue what it means; bears, humans, cholesterol etc.

Have you heard of a phenomenon reg. 5 alpha-reductase-2 gene mutations?

Clinicians were falling over themselves to abrogate their Physicians' Oath to make us take a vaccine. I recently had an argument with a clinician who was adamant that ondansetron wasn't a serotonin inhibitor. I think clinicians are done here, and they should lay down in the muck until they re-educate themselves instead of relying on outdated textbooks and The Vibe.

Thank you.

I didn’t mean to offend you or Kevin.

Not all clinicians are scumbags, and that includes medial doctors. Naturopaths are also clinicians but they can’t operate on a patient whose gallbladder bursts to save their lives asap… or they are dead meat…

Regarding serotonin meds, nobody really knows, but if you ever find your loved one on the edge of the building contemplating to jump off, or near any situation where they could harm themselves, you may understand that even if an inhibitor has a 0.1% chance of helping, you’d likely go for it…

If not… well it is not my call..
