Cannabis is one of the most powerful anti-inflammatory substances on the planet. Chronic inflammation is the root cause of many, if not most, of the diseases of the human body. So why hasn't our government told us about the many health benefits of cannabis? Because they are prevented by law from doing so. The DEA, the Drug Czar's office and the National Institute on Drug Abuse and its employees are all prevented by law to investigate or research any of the many benefits of cannabis consumption. I strongly suggest that the readers read: Clint Werner's outstanding book: "MARIJUANA, GATEWAY TO HEALTH: How Cannabis Protects Us From Cancer and Alzheimer's Disease."
