Only Walgreen’s can distribute synthetic THC

Do you know what a “synthetic analogue” is?

It is a manmade, not naturally occurring that is, chemical compound, that is structurally similar to, but not chemically identical with, the natural chemical compound found in nature.

In other words, a “synthetic analogue” is a laboratory created correspondent to a natural, God created that is, chemical compound: it is literally a “bogus equivalent”.

“Dronabinol is the International Nonproprietary Name (INN) for a pure isomer of THC, (-)-trans-Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol, that is, the main isomer in cannabis.^[11] It is sold as Marinol (a registered trademark of Solvay Pharmaceuticals). Dronabinol (labeled as “Marinol”) is also marketed, sold, and distributed by PAR Pharmaceutical Companies under the terms of a license and distribution agreement with SVC pharma LP, an affiliate of Rhodes Technologies” (Wikipedia. “Tetrahydrocannabinol”).

Solvay sold its pharmaceutical division to Abbot Labs; yet Dronabinol (aka “Marinol") “is also marketed, sold, and distributed by PAR Pharmaceutical Companies which transferred 100% percent of its interest in SVC to Rhodes Technologies and (“naturally”), SVC became the sole owner of the ANDA for dronabinol (ANDA: “abbreviated new drug approval"). In exchange, as of June 2008, SVC granted Par the exclusive right and license to market, distribute and sell dronabinol in the United States for a term of approximately 10 years”.

Par launched Dronabinol (Marinol that is) during the third quarter of 2008.

Only Walgreen’s can legally distribute Marinol!

And it is against federal law for citizens to manufacture, distribute, and consume non-synthetic THC, that is, the naturally occurring THC found only in the marijuana plant.

Cannabinoids and You

US patent 6630507 states that: "Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia. Nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention. A particular disclosed class of cannabinoids useful as neuroprotective antioxidants is formula (I) wherein the R group is independently selected from the group consisting of H, CH3, and COCH3. ##STR1##".

In addition to the United States government owning the cannabinoids produced by our own bodies and the marijuana plant, the synthetic THC, Dronabinol, (brand name “Marinol”) is owned by the globe-spanning pharmaceuticals and health care products company Abbot Laboratories. The drug Marinol is officially approved by the DEA, FDA, and “the Institute of Medicine, an organization chartered by the National Academy of Sciences. [Which] In a report released in 1999, the Institute did not recommend the use of smoked marijuana, but did conclude that active ingredients in marijuana could be isolated and developed into a variety of pharmaceuticals, such as Marinol”.

The DEA states that “The active ingredient of Marinol is synthetic THC, which has been found to relieve the nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy for cancer patients and to assist with loss of appetite with AIDS patients”.

My question to you is this. If synthetic THC has medicinal qualities how cannot natural THC, the THC found in the marijuana plant that is, not also possess medicinal qualities?

According to Abbot Laboratories own website they are the top ranked health care company in health care “and the leading health care company in generating revenue growth and cash returns in recent years”. The list of drugs Abbot Laboratories manufactures is impressive. The revenue of Abbot Laboratories, at 30 billion dollars annually is also quite impressive . . .

The U.S. government patents cannabinoids produced by the marijuana plant, apparently both the non-psychoactive and psychoactive cannnabinoids, citing the medicinal qualities of these cannabinoids, Abbott Laboratories owns synthetic THC and uses this substance to produce medically efficacious products; but we the people cannot grow, possess, or ingest the marijuana plant because the marijuana plant does not possess any medicinal qualities?!?

Hmmmm . . .

DEA, THC, and Abbot Laboratories

Marijuana is illegal specifically because of THC (because it gets you high). Marinol is synthetic THC (Marinol is owned by medical giant Abbot Laboratories). Marinol is officially approved by the DEA for providing a safe, ingesting in pill form rather than smoking, method of consuming THC; you know, like, "opium, which are (is) sold as pharmaceutical products like morphine, codeine, hydrocodone, or oxycodone".

So how the DEA contends that there is no medical value from the marijuana plant, when the DEA itself states, "The active ingredient of Marinol is synthetic THC, which has been found to relieve the nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy for cancer patients and to assist with loss of appetite with AIDS patients" is absolutely mystifying.

Is it possible for synthetic THC to possess medicinal qualities if natural THC does not also possess such qualities?

And there is no lawyer in this nation capable of pointing this out?

I don't understand . . .

Closing Time

Blessed Mary-Jane

Marijuana as a schedule I drug is alleged, by the United States government, to be as "dangerous" as Ecstasy, LSD, mushrooms, and an assortment of laboratory-manufactured substances.

Marijuana is in the same category as acid for God's sake!

Schedule II drugs have some familiar names; cocaine, opium, methamphetamine, assorted barbiturates, amongst many other largely laboratory manufactured drugs. We all know how great of drugs speed, crack, and brown are, but apparently even cocaine has some "medicinal" qualities . . .

At least for the giant pharmo-chemical company that owns that patent!

So the marijuana plant is one of the deadliest plants God created, according to the United States government! Schedule I of course being:

(A) The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.
(B) The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
(C) There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.

Myself having read all of the pertinent court rulings regarding marijuana the government's assertion that marijuana has a "high potential for abuse" does not even pass the laugh test. Basically the courts have ruled that b/c some psychotic, or latently psychotic, teenagers may abuse marijuana, then marijuana must be illegal for all normal people. Luckily for you alcohol drinkers you have some sort of "noble" exception . . .

Excuse my language, but I shit you not! B/c an extreme minority of our population, an underage population who could not consume marijuana legally even if marijuana were legal, b/c this minority may potentially abuse marijuana, marijuana then possesses a "high potential for abuse" and must be illegal for all citizens. Har har har har

The feds have used inductive logic of the faultiest kind, picking one orange from a barrel of fruit and saying, "hey this whole barrel must be full of oranges". And apparently there is not an American lawyer capable of refuting this nonsense, which, surveying the landscape of American lawyers that rule over us, does not surprise me in the least! The "high potential for abuse" does not pass the laugh test, while the medicinal qualities of cannabis seem to be quite real, and of course, I do not need a doctor to show me how to consume a marijuana plant!

Also, I find it very hard to believe the Lord created the marijuana plant just so the United States government can persecute everybody who likes to grow and/or consume the plant: throw George Washington and Thomas Jefferson in prison; Bubba will take care of them! Har har har har . . .

The scheduling of marijuana is misguided ignorance at best, but in truth it is simply evil, and against our Lord and Creator! When organizations, groups of people, governments, outlaw the very fruit of the earth from other people then they stand against the will of our Creator as revealed to humanity in the Torah: then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food".

Amen

O btw.

Certain Native tribes use the "religious argument" to legally consume psychedelic mushrooms; but b/c marijuana is just so popular, and shrooms are not that prevalent of a religious/recreational/medicinal drug, marijuana then is subject to interstate commerce laws, unlike psychedelic shrooms:

so trade trumps God.

No religious exception for marijuana like psychedelic shrooms b/c marijuana, because a plant created by God, is just so popular, the trading of it will ramify throughout our nation!

So instead of "freely" trading the marijuana plant the government puts badges and guns on dudes so they can pull the plant out of the ground and arrest and imprison us!

I'm missing the punch-line here. O wait, the government has actually patented certain properties of the marijuana plant itself! The government owns the pot plant and I cannot have any?????? This is not nuclear waste created by giant nuclear facilities in the hands of private citizens here people; we are talking about a plant that grows out of the earth . . .

What next?!? Is the U.S. government going to patent the marijuana-like chemicals our own bodies produce and then declare that we have not natural rights over our own bodies? But having no natural rights to the dirt of the earth and the plants that grow from it, is outlawing us from our very selves!

On an even funnier note, the U.S. government asserts that b/c marijuana is so popular this proves just how dangerous it is! Yessirree! That people will break the law to consume marijuana proves that marijuana is "bad". The feds actually use this argument! Apparently nobody thought of this argument during alcohol prohibition! It is popular but apparently not popular enough eh?!? Har har har har . . .

The government's argumentation actually devolves to the point of asserting that some people may drive or go to work after smoking some herb! Apparently this argument does not also apply to alcohol; yet last I heard it is in fact illegal to drink and drive and I seek no "noble" exception for marijuana in this regard. I seek no, but suffer under, such double standard!

The only ramifications I see now are abundant materials and manpower devoted to fighting a war on a plant and against it's consumers, I see countless lives ruined and divested of personal possessions by legal persecution, I see Mexican children being gunned down by dudes that want to make a lot of money smuggling plant material into this country, I see the prison-industrial complex booming and heavily armed squads of badges garrisoning every city to fight a war against a plant and it's consumers: I see that all the wrong people have a vested interest in keeping the pot plant outlawed!

As previously noted, trade, i.e., money, trumps God!

Is this truly the will of we the people?

Repeal the 2nd Amendment

Repeal the 2^nd Amendment

Since the repuglicans worship the U.S. government like it is God incarnate, and demoncrats are all evil, then one would figure all "law-abiding" Americans would wholeheartedly support a repeal of the second amendment and a confiscation of all handguns! Hunting rifles alone could be stockpiled by the citizenry and then only the U.S. armed forces would possess WMDs! And any of those crazy right, or left, wing crazies that took up arms would be wiped off the earth by our Homeland Security.

Within ten years of the ban on handguns all street thugs with guns would either be dead or in prison; and of course that nonsense about "an armed society being a safe society" would be thoroughly debunked!

Then our streets would no longer run red with blue-blood and we could actually find out if a disarmed society would be a safe society!

Is not your "sacred" constitution subject to change? If not then why do we allow "coloreds" and women to vote or count Natives as full persons? If we want to remain true to "original intent" then all guns should be kept for the taxman . . .

No crosshairs intended.

Or mayhap, like Holy Scripture itself, different interpretations are perceived by every reader! Gotta love that Protestantism! If a man-made document, the U.S. Constitution, cannot be construed to fit the modern times then that document is dead; and I refuse to live by the words of centuries old dead white dudes!

Peter was commanded to sheathe the gun of his day, his sword, and the first true Christians were slaughtered by their own government; and history repeats! What was Nietzsche's phrase??? Eternal recurrence (in an earthly-bound, temporally-limited) sense (see!, I used a "timeless" idea for contemporary thinking in a contextually different way: imagine that!) . . .

Jesus-loving Christians do not take up arms, but we will assuredly die for what we believe in.

What America Has Lost

What America Has Lost

I Am Not Moderate

I Am Not Moderate

The extremist can equally well descend into the depths of life as he can rise up towards it heights.

The man who is moderate in his faith is the same as the man who is torn by his fear of being punished and his desire to be rewarded. And when he follows the procession of believers, he limps as he walks; and as soon as he kneels down in order to pray, his thought rises up to deride him.

The moderate suitor cannot drink from the cup of love while delighting in the freshness of its honey, nor the fire of its gall. He is content to moisten his lips on a tepid and adulterated beverage drained by stupidity from the marshes of cowardice.

The man who enjoys neither hostility to evil nor support of that which is good, will not know how to destroy what [sic: “that” perhaps] evil in himself nor safeguard what is good. He limits himself to watching his life go by at the edge of the sea, like a shell, hard in appearance but soft in its inner substance, not knowing when the tide is coming in and going out.

The man who is moderate in his search for liberty will see nothing of it beyond his footprints in the hills and valleys. For liberty is like life, it does not linger along its way to allow the disabled to catch up with it.

Moderates never stop saying: “Temperance, a cardinal virtue.”

And my soul asks: “How could the monkey have become a man or the pygmy a giant by remaining moderate!”

And I have heard these monkeys and pygmies say: “Virtue stands in the middle.”

So my soul moved away from them, replying: “Feeble creatures, how could you grasp the truth of all things while you keep your eyes fixed on the navel of their happy medium? Would all things then have neither tail nor head?”

And I heard those with cracked skulls repeat morning and evening: “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.”

And my soul, livid with anger, cried out: “Those stupid people do not deserve to receive even a wing, if they do not use their feet as they run after ten birds.”

Trying to catch a flock of birds: is this not our daily task, the purpose of our life, much more than life itself?

I love him who was crucified by the moderates. When he bent his head and closed his eyes, certain among them said, as though comforted: “At last this dangerous extremist is no more.” Ah, if they knew that at that moment his victorious spirit was soaring over the nations and spreading out from generations to generations.

And I love those who have been sacrificed by fire, executed by the guillotine for a thought that invaded their heads and inflamed their hearts.

I love you, O extremists, you who are nourished by unfathomable ardors. Each time I raise me glass, it is your blood and your tears that I am drinking.

And each time I look through my window at the sky, it is your faces that I see.

And when a storm rises, it is your singing and your praises that I hear.

Decriminalize marijuana

Decriminalize marijuana

Evergreen Encrimsoned

Marijuana decriminalization will not be on this November’s ballot!

That is alright, b/c:

1) The federal prohibition against marijuana stands against Christianity in that they outlaw that which our Lord sanctions; I stand on the side of YHWH and against that of evil laws made by corporate politicians! Other religions are legally recognized as able to consume psychedelic hard drugs, and yet the government contends that my freedom of religion should be abrogated b/c marijuana, being a common soft drug, is much more susceptible to being diverted to non-Christians, or any other citizens. Well, I don't distribute our Lord's green herb that He calls good to any other citizens. My stash does not get to the "free" black market, so quit persecuting my religion! Praise Jesus!

2) The feds contend that marijuana has a "high potential for abuse”. Their "proof" of which I have thoroughly demolished, and my legal rebuttal is sitting right here on my desktop. The allegations of a few state funded researchers are not credible and do not pass even the most liberal construal of logical induction. One or two schizophrenics who may abuse marijuana out of a thousand people warrants not the designation of "high potential for abuse" (as the feds themselves admit when they state "in a healthy adult population the likelihood for marijuana addiction/abuse is extremely exiguous"; this is like contending that since some people may be predisposed to abusing alcohol then alcohol should be illegal for everybody/anybody to consume!).

3) The thirteen states that allow medical usage are breaking federal law, since the federal government alleges that there are no medicinal qualities to marijuana, but citizens cannot break unjust state or federal law. Quite an interesting quandary I say . . .

People once broke the law by aiding escaping slaves, people once broke the law by manufacturing, distributing, and consuming alcohol, and, once again, for good or ill, Washington State citizens are able to buy fireworks rather than having to rely upon state and city governments for our right to celebrate the 4th of July!

Moral progression can often be a tumultuous accomplishment, and, whereas we the people never had a voice in making marijuana illegal to begin with, and with people such as Richard Nixon blaming the Jews for trying to decriminalize marijuana (as he states that people drink alcohol just to enjoy themselves!!!), and the war on marijuana becoming a tremendous source of power and "social engineering" for certain segments of our government and society: well . . .,

I'll settle this matter with the Supreme Court myself!

God bless

Workers of the world unite!

Workers of the world unite! The capitalist slavers make sure the police are paid so well b/c when the revolution goes down there are going to be hundreds of millions, aye even billions, of us, against only a few million of them. C’mon LEOs and you private mercs, are you going to forfeit your eternal souls to protect the rich man or are you going to side with us, the people, and God? The revolution must go down peacefully, or else it will just be another violent revolution, and I have not seen one violent revolution bring about world peace yet . . .

I have three heroes, three of the greatest minds this world has ever known, one is the foundation of my religious belief, the other my political belief, and the third my rational scientific worldview, and they are all three Jewish socialists (scary huh!); Jesus Christ, Leon Trotsky, & Albert Einstein (“Einstein a socialist”? you ask. Quoting Albert I affirmatively rejoin, “I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils [of capitalism], namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals. In such an economy, the means of production are owned by society itself and are utilized in a planned fashion. A planned economy, which adjusts production to the needs of the community, would distribute the work to be done among all those able to work and would guarantee a livelihood to every man, woman, and child” http://monthlyreview.org/598einstein.php). A thoroughly Marxian political view!

And, as per Trotskyism, decentralized democratic communism ensures that all children are provided an education that will develop their unique innate abilities to their fullest, they can become a doctor, scientist, structural engineer, or even “simple” janitor or high school math teacher, and so forth and so on: there is no compulsion when society’s number one goal is to be our brothers’, and sisters’, keeper! Believe it or not, some people like being plumbers, nurses, framers, cooks, agriculturalists, etc. But, I do admit, that the “strangers” among us who want to pursue their selfish interests at the expense of the “saints” among us who are likeminded in our service to one another and society as a whole do present the problem. The answer to this problem of people who want to be selfish; they are free to emigrate to Russia or Africa immediately!

In fact, we could give the entire continent of Australia to the people who want to be selfish, while all other people who want to love our Lord with all of our spirit, mind, heart, and strength will inherit the world!
