I always dismissed the health claims as coming from pot addicts who just wanted it declassified so they could carry on without possibility of arrest. With just the last few months I started studying the research on it and have done the 180 degree about face on this issue. The funny part is I used to be a pot farmer up in Haleiwa for crying out loud and didn't have a clue that the stuff was good for you. I didn't like smoking my own highly packed potent as hell product, ten seconds after the first inhale you were out in space. Hey, I bet obama ended up smoking some of my weed, cause I was quite productive during the time he was in high school at Punahou.
