Ignorance is bliss... ? How about when it is killing our kids? Still feeling blissful?

How about when you get a F*&^% twitch that drives crazy? Did you know it was a common side effect of one of earliest “mood” drugs approved by the  “who’s, who’s”
and pushed to the millions as ‘mama’s little helper’.  And tongue* darting...  lovely.
Twitches that never go away.   They made a pill to try,  but that just paralyzed motor skills.

My researching Cannabis  just made me think I DONT get it. 
No one dies from it. People LIKE it. Prefer it to toxic (mentally & physically) alcohol,
It has proven healing effects on the human body. WTF?  
Over and over.. then I watched a doc called. The Marketing Of Madness.  Never is Cannabis mentioned.  You realize the reason when you start to learn about the numbers $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

You feel sick to your stomach when you realize how it is all decided. A bunch of people -most paid by pill companies to make up ‘DIAGNOSES”.  Don’t believe me?   WATCH IT! 
Then, research even a little and see it is all true. 
WTF!? 
A sign?  - I’m sitting in a office a book falls on the floor (me being a neat freak clean up all the magazines at the Dr.s office ). Book falls out again. All about the DMS. 

Pay attention... Our children are the main ‘client’ they want. 
                 A lifetime subscriber, prescriber!!  

I get children are ill. I KNOW.   A mental illness is very different from a physical one; although a physical one does allot of mental damage, and some children are mentally ill - they do need professional help and possibly medication.

                BUT and this is a BIG fricken BUT
To say a child that puts up a fuss/throws a temper 2-3 times a week should be medicated? Are you kidding me?  This is new to the DSM this year - the age it is geared to >>>  6-12. <<<  But younger may be diagnosed.

 We’ve all been there! Storm did it to me over a stuffed penguin!!  People thought I was murdering him, I will never forget it ;-) I had to buy it! I didn’t know what to do..  I talked to him about it later, and told him that it was not a nice thing to do and explained why - that I might not be able to afford it and was embarrassed.  He got it.  THEY are smart little beings! They need so much love and much attention - so what! Deal with it! We brought them into the world! 
SUCK IT UP! Focus on your children. 

DO not medicate them, with PILLS or food or T.V. for that matter.
Dose them with TLC! Attention and love. 

Ignorance is bliss... wait a few years when a pill they are on for ‘depression’ kills them. 
It actually makes them kill themselves.  Don’t believe me? Research PROZAC.
I dare you.   IF you care about your children you WILL! 
Because, I love kids. I once was one. ;-) 
What a terrible way to learn about life...  on DRUGS. The legal ones!!!





 
 
Yep, it's reefer madness all over again.  When "they" first tried to tell us cannabis was bad for us they would make statements like: Marijuana will make white women like black men! It will make you crazy and go on killing rampages!  It will destroy your brain!! Some of the quotes past presidents have made are unbelievable, Ronald Regan actually said: 
"I now have absolute proof that smoking even one marijuana cigarette is equal in brain damage to being on Bikini Island during an H-bomb blast."  
Tell that to Obama, who inhaled frequently.
The journey on Cannabis education for me opened my eyes to many things, some of which I would like to say I was happily ignorant and beautifully blissful; this is not the case anymore. 
So when I read  NOW- Cannabis causes schizophrenia- I looked into it.  This to me was the biggest joke to date. I wondered how they knew this and after reading time and time again - it appears it is NOT fact - far from it! It is a 'HUNCH' - a guess and a poor one at that. Well for any rational thinking human!  Turns out that the ONLY way to PROVE - scientifically* that Cannabis causes Schizophrenia is to follow each person studied for over 20 years.  ??? So I wondered- how the heck do they do that? THEY don't ! They follow up with them from time to time with a few questions - ARE you kidding me!? How can anyone make such a claim!  It would be just as easy for me to claim  about milk!  REALLY! 
They also note (in the fine print most times) that  there are other factors. 
SO the FACT is: NO they CANNOT prove Cannabis causes Schizophrenia- as a matter of FACT there is strong argument that young adolescence  who DO have pre-existing schizophrenia often learn early that Cannabis actually helps them control their condition. Don't believe me - Research it! PLEASE! I did.  Anyhow, I know there are many things, events, life lessons that have made me the person I am today - somewhat crazy - probably - but Cannabis was NOT one of them. 
*One little note to leave you with - Alcohol on the other hand is increasingly being tied (scientifically) with the rise of dementia in people. 
You sure don't see those headlines everyday!!


more on the subject: Study: Administration Of Non-Psychotropic Cannabinoid Mitigates Psychotic Symptoms In SchizophrenicsMannheim, Germany: The administration of the non-psychotropic plant constituent cannabidiol (CBD) is associated with a significant reduction in psychotic symptoms in patients with schizophrenia, according to clinical trial data published in the journal Translational Psychiatry.

An international team of researchers from Germany and the United States performed a four week, double-blind, randomized clinical trial assessing the clinical relevance of cannabidiol versus amisulpride, a potent antipsychotic agent, in patients with acute schizophrenia.

Researchers reported that the administration of either substance was associated with significant clinical improvement, but they acknowledged, "[C]annabidiol displayed a markedly superior side-effect profile."

Amisulpride is categorized as "one of the most effective drugs currently in use for the treatment of schizophrenia."

Investigators concluded, "Our results provide evidence that the non-cannabimimetic constituent of marijuana, cannabidiol, exerts clinically relevant antipsychotic effects that are associated with marked tolerability and safety, when compared with current medications. ... The results ... potentially represent a completely new mechanism in the treatment of schizophrenia."

review of CBD's safety profile in humans, published online in 2011 in the scientific journal Current Drug Safety, concluded that the cannabinoid is non-toxic, safe, and well tolerated in humans, even in high doses.

Separate investigations of CBD have documented the cannabinoid to possess a variety of therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-epileptic, anti-cancer, and bone-stimulating properties.
