Marijuana Saves Baby's Life
"Doctors said two-year-old Cash Hyde would likely die after they found a stage 4 brain tumor surrounding his optic nerve just a year ago this week. And he nearly did. After being subjected to seven different chemotherapy drugs, the little boy from Missoula, Montana suffered septic shock, a stroke and pulmonary hemorrhaging.

Cash was so sick he went 40 days without eating. His organs were threatening to shut down. His father, Mike Hyde, intervened, slipping cannabis oil into his son’s feeding tube. Cash, now three, made a miraculous recovery at Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, but his father’s bold action—taken behind the doctors’ backs—has raised serious questions about a parent’s role in medical treatment."

4. I would do the same in a heartbeat, and plead guilty as charged
Edited on Sun Aug-07-11 10:06 PM by demwing
I would proudly admit that I had been able to save my child's life, ask if anyone would have done differently, and put my fate before a jury.

5. I think pot should be legal for all purposes
I hope it was indeed the pot that saved this babies life... A bit hard for me to tell for certain from the article but it does make some logical sense. I do love to smoke a big old fattie though :smoke:

Good to see you again Wildbill, have not seen you around in ages. Hope all is well. Same old shit with me, I like quiet :D

7. Yeah, I'd say this action raises "serious questions" -- about the fucking cowardly fear the
government seems to have when it comes to cannabis.

8. I think it's mostly the drug and oil companies...
that want it to stay illegal. All those drugs they sell for depression and cancer and other ailments would suddenly become obsolete if you could grow your own medicine in your back yard. And oil from cannabis/hemp/marijuana can be used just as diesel is today so farmers across the land could grow it and truckers use the oil/fuel. Every three months a new harvest.
We are being lied to and screwed!
