The war on drugs has been an absolute debacle, fueled by failed policies that launched a mass incarceration epidemic. To add insult to injury, a new report released by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) reveals that the agency spent $18 million on its marijuana eradication program last year, destroying around 16,000 cannabis plants in […]

Researchers from MIT have created a small, swallowable robot to help fix internal wounds, administer medicine and remove objects from the stomach that have been accidentally ingested by children. The researchers presented their work at the International Conference on Robotics and Automation, which follows  in the foot trails of a string of papers on origami […]

Researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) are sending four strains of fungi to the International Space Station in an effort to develop new medicines for use on Earth and beyond. The experiment will be conducted in collaboration with scientists from the university and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. “This is an ambitious project for […]

These days, it should come as no surprise every time Big Pharma is proven to be up to something absolutely despicable. And yet it still feels somewhat shocking every time new evidence of their horrific, corrupt nature is brought into the light. As reported by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, Merck scientists served as whistleblowers […]

Since President Obama has shirked his constitutional duty to “take care” that all laws of the United States are enforced, especially its drug laws, it is incumbent upon Congress to clear up the lingering confusion and frustration regarding marijuana use. That’s because by not enforcing the federal prohibitions against pot use, states have been allowed […]

Teenage marijuana use significantly reduced between 2002 and 2013, according to a recent study, casting doubt on the claim that weed legalization will make more teenagers use pot. During that same period, 10 states passed medical marijuana laws, 13 states loosened penalties for cannabis use, and Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize […]

Current tests used by law-enforcement officials to detect marijuana use include blood, saliva and urine testing. But THC (the psychoactive component of marijuana) can stay in the system for days, or even weeks. With breath testing the THC signal only stays on a person’s breath for around four hours. Driving while stoned is dangerous, no […]

The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) wants you to believe that by regulating the electronic cigarette industry, they are concerned about your health. Let’s have a collective belly laugh, shall we? Back in 2010, according to a report from KXAN, “a federal appeals court threw out the agency’s plan to treat e-cigarettes as drug delivery devices, […]

I have a family member that benefits greatly from medical marijuana. Although the laws are changing, the system is unjust still. Just think of the thousands languishing in jail from the “war on drugs,” which has always been bogus, or the parents who face the terror of medical kidnapping and uproot their lives so their children can get life […]

In a raid named “Project Claudia”, the Toronto Police Department raided dispensaries across the city, seizing marijuana infused products such as chocolate, cookies and other edibles, as well as dried marijuana, resin, hash and pills. This comes at a time when there is huge support in Canada for medical marijuana, and full legalization for cannabis […]

Have you ever visited the Big Apple and experienced the city’s cold shoulder? Well, it turns out that New Yorkers aren’t really just rude by nature, but instead are suffering from unusually high levels of depression, suicidal thoughts, and substance abuse problems; not exactly the vibe you’d expect from one of the world’s largest tourist […]

A disease that has been steadily on the rise, and is now reaching epidemic proportions is diabetes. What was once a disease that affected the old and overweight, is now a disease that is affecting our children at a very young age. What baffles my mind the most is that type 2 diabetes is completely […]

It is common knowledge that you should be taking your vitamin C every day to ensure that you remain in good health, and to load up on it if you are sick with the flu or a cold. But did you know that vitamin C — especially liposomal vitamin C — has been shown to […]

Because of the traditional medical system’s overuse of antibiotics, we now face a situation where superbugs – that is, bacteria that have morphed and now are nearly immune to just about any antibiotic on the market – are set to explode. Imagine a time, before the natural development of penicillin in the late 1920s, when […]

Chronic fatigue is a health condition that more people experience as they get older. It is a condition where they constantly feel sleepy throughout the day, even if they get eight hours of sleep each night. Some of the causes of chronic fatigue have been linked to poor eating habits, viral infections, and psychological conditions […]
