Nandralone won’t make you bend it like Becks.

If they did actually stop all drug abuse by athletes the Olympics would die. Performancing enhancing drugs simply make that much difference.

So role on the Free for All Olympics, it actually represents the future of medicine and possibly not that far away. Specific medicating tailored to individual metabolisms. Very promising. The druggie Olympians can provide very valuable data on *humans* about the drugs, the Olympics will improve, and we will open up a new avenue for improving our understanding of human biology. There are no losers here dude.

“In February 124,000 doctors from the American College of Physicians, the second largest group of doctors in the US released a statement informing the world “Mainstream Medicine Endorses Medical Marijuana.”

The ACP position paper demolishes several myths, starting with the notion still proclaimed by some politicians that marijuana is unsafe for medical use. The College notes that the most serious objection to medical marijuana — potential harm to the lungs from smoking — has largely been solved by a technology called vaporization, already proven in scientific studies.

The ACP position paper also explains that there is no reason to believe that protecting medical marijuana patients leads to increased drug abuse. “Marijuana has not been proven to be the cause or even the most significant predictor of serious drug abuse,” the doctors write. “Opiates are highly addictive, yet medically effective … There is no evidence to suggest that medical use of opiates has increased perception that their illicit use is safe or acceptable.”

Harry please check your facts!

We could do the same with genetic engineering. No doubt some will consider engineering a cubic chunk of flesh to block the goal in soccer as going too far… wowsers!

“You’d need to prevent 5,000 young males from taking cannabis to stop one case of schizophrenia. And for women, it would be 20,000 to stop one case.”

Pot is bad for you – bad for your lungs and air passages, bad for your concentration and memory, bad for your emotional state if you’re vulnerable. But so what? The role of government is not to prevent all possible harm, because that’s impossible.

And the evidence about reduction in drug use typically shows the greatest effect comes from education, not punitive laws.

That is complete bullshit, Harry. You are talking out of your arse. You clearly have not done your research properly, or with an open mind.

Despite intensive efforts to prove otherwise, properly controlled studies have failed to establish any significant link between smoking cannabis (only) and lung or upper respiratory tract cancers. None. Nil. Zero. One recent major epidemiological study on exactly this question even found that there is a slight negative corelation between cannabis smoking and these cancers. (See ‘Marijuana use and the risk of lung and upper aerodigestive tract cancers: results of a population-based case-control study’; Hashibe M, et al, 2006).

Compare and contrast to the massive and unarguable link between tobacco smoking and those types of cancers, and a whole bunch of other serious diseases, especially cardiovascular.

If the foaming-at-the-mouth, howling-at-the-moon, anti-drug zealots were genuine about reducing the damage from recreational drug use, they would direct all their energy against truly appalling trainwreck caused by alcohol and tobacco, which account for the VAST majority of injury and death arising from recreational drug use. Hands down winners. No argument about that.

I ain’t holding my breath.
