With any drug, it is important to determine whether or not the medical benefits outweigh the side effects.
This is something that really hasn’t happened with marijuana, especially in the United States. So focused is the federal government on highlighting and studying the negative implications of marijuana usage, they all but ignore the fact that marijuana […]
“To the agriculturist, cannibis is a fibre crop; to the physician, it is an enigma; to the user, a euphoriant; to the police, a menace; to the trafficker, a source of profitable danger; to the convict or parolee and his family, a source of sorrow.”

Okay, so it’s not something any of us ever thought we’d see in our life time.

I took biology in college…in Costa Rica. And I remember very important things from that course. 1) The local liquor, guaro, contains 14 hallucinogens. 2) They work. Here at Healthbolt, we have standards to uphold. The first is that we are […]
The government has a long history of successful anti-drug campaigns.
