"According to Cannabis Science president and CEO Steven W. Kubby, his company’s whole-cannabis lozenges have anti-inflammatory properties that may present an effective and non-toxic treatment for minimizing the symptoms and harm from influenza infections.
“Our lozenges appear to down-regulate the body’s excessive inflammatory response to the influenza virus, which could reduce the deadly consequences of an infection into something that is more like a common cold,” says Kubby. “Because of my cancer and diminished auto-immune functions, even common influenza is a deadly threat, and I’ve had incredible symptomatic relief with the lozenge.”"
"Before reaching for their rolling papers, however, patients should keep in mind that smoke may make aggravate rather than relieve the symptoms.
Dr. Robert J. Melamede, a researcher and past Chairman of the Biology Department at the University of Colorado Springs, who also serves as chief science officer for Cannabis Science, cautions, “Smoked marijuana will not effectively prevent the excessive inflammatory response, despite delivering the beneficial pharmacological agents, due to the irritating, pro-inflammatory nature of smoke. In fact, I believe it will make things worse and should be avoided by infected individuals.""
"Fortunately, New York has a real chance of enacting a medical marijuana bill this year. The Assembly bill, A. 7542, has 50 sponsors and was passed by the Health Committee yesterday. The Senate version, S. 4041-A, currently has 15 sponsors."

Samtidigt i en annan artikel ang. TamiFlu och dess fader Donald Rumsfelds tidigare upptäckter.

Hur relevant det sista är vet jag inte, artikeln tar upp upptäckter som Rumsfeld har gjort tidigare, däribland Aspartam.
Vad tror/tycker ni om upptäckten? själv tycker jag att det verkar väldigt intressant, men så är jag också knarkliberal och tycker om att starta många trådar som handlar om samma sak.
