RE: Ruggles Excused - Guest - 09-10-2018 quote:Empty Calories is sort of a meaningless term. The overwhelming majority of what we eat is to provide energy, i.e Calories. It's what keeps your heart beating, lungs breathing, muscles moving etc., Proteins are important too, along with trace amounts of vitamins, minerals etc., but Calories are King!!!!!

Historical context helps understanding. In any case, I'll not continue in that discussion.

And those perfect diets can be weakening in the long run, with no stress to the systems. That said, what the body requires daily and what is required by the mind/brain for mind expansion are not exactly up for comparison. RE: Ruggles Excused - ironyak - 09-10-2018 Punatic007 - That's why the dispensaries in California were shut down. I'm not sure when you are referring to, but California moved from medical to recreational marijuana this year. There has long been motivation for the feds to raid dispensaries regardless of state laws - the spoils of civil forfeiture. https://www.forbes.com/sites/instituteforjustice/2016/11/02/cops-raid-medical-marijuana-business-seize-over-100000-including-teenage-girls-college-savings Perhaps you are talking about more recent raids in L.A. for unlicensed shops? I'm sure that is entirely to protect people's health and has nothing to do with the lack of taxes being collected. But no doubt, the raid on Ruggles had to be the government looking out for people's health by removing their source of legally approved daily medication. Drug enforcement is a means to an end (historically mostly imprisoning immigrants, radicals, minorities, and the poor while seizing their assets) and has nothing to do with promoting health or well-being, which could actually be better addressed if that funding was spent on treatment programs instead like much of the developed world. RE: Ruggles Excused - Punatic007 - 09-10-2018 Why not be a step ahead of treatment programs with education and not giving a green light to non-patients until there is a greater understanding of what it means to partake and not abuse marijuana? We are not a culture with shamans in each village, leaving us at a great disadvantage for proper usage. You are right I am not up on this subject. I don't understand why Roger Christie didn't do this with his marijuana church, he's such a brilliant well meaning person. It would be great to offer marijuana and anything else patients with debilitating diseases would like carte blanche. But look what happened over here, everybody and their uncle of all ages got medical marijuana authorization for recreational use with bogus medical claims. So those who suffer, get to suffer more.
