Cannabis & Cancer

12/31/2013

In 1974 researchers in the Medical College of Virginia, funded by the National Institute of Health, found that THC slowed the growth of three different kinds of cancer in mice. The DEA quickly shut down the project and later in 1976 Gerald Ford put an end to all public cannabis research. This was, of course, so the pharmaceutical companies would have the opportunity to create a synthetic form of THC without the feeling of being "high." On cancer.gov a similar study is published and the summary of the findings follow the same results as '74. Cannabinoids can cause anti-tumor effects and trigger cancer cell death with little likelihood of a serious side effect. Both THC and CBD have proven more effectiveness and less harm than most, if not all pharmaceutical solutions. Is the financial payoff in developing a synthetic really worth preventing the current population from successful treatment now? A New Years Resolution is certainly in order.

Got DogeCoin?

12/26/2013

You may have heard that in 2014 there won't be any space online for the Doge Meme. It's officially been murdered by politicians who abused the beloved Shiba Inu. As the meme comes to a horrible death the coin appears to be taking off. There's nothing like creating currency to idolize someone/thing of great power and respect after death so why not Doge? The internet is shooting for the moon and someone already got a pizza out of it.

Ukrain has been protesting since November 21, 2013 in Kiev in a demonstration known around the world as Euromaidan.

Despite a strong police presence and harsh winter conditions the protest remains a huge success and support for the movement continues to grow. Here is an inside look at where things stand today.

What Did Snowden Do At The NSA?

12/21/2013

In an earlier post I provided a link to an article describing how Edward Snowden acted in the workplace but what he was actually doing during his time at the NSA remains unclear. It seems he wasn't a contractor for the organization like first described by The Guardian. In the video interview of Snowden and in his introduction to the world he described himself as an "infrastructure analyst" who once worked for the CIA. He may have just been a professional at breaking the internet. Here are all the details.
