I do love Jamaican coffee, though.

Hey, I just LOVE Rastafarianism, mon! It really inspired me, in 1968! So I was a ready convert. Jumped in with both feet. Didn't pick up everything, mind! I got rid of the complicated 'tings, like dreadlocks and slang. And I was left with the ganja... Great religion! Never looked back! Big Grin

And now, after my 40+ years of pious observance, it turns out, scientifically, that

THC is an excellent long term carcinogen inhibitor

Rastafarianism vindicated! I couldn't be happier!

Of course the establishment, especially the US establishment, doesn't like their precious war on drugs, their well-paid judges', lawyers', and cops' jobs, and their lucrative 3 million inmate prison industry threatened. Or the highly overpaid jobs and incomes associated with cancer-related pharmacology and medicine.

So the 'Legalize' campaign will be an uphill struggle for while to come, I'm afraid. Too many powerful 'special interests' with too much to lose.

But science is our friend!
