Is this a time loop? One day Nixon's saying "I am not a crook" and hunkering down in the oval office with his cronies and the next Soetero is saying "I am not a dictator" and .... "I would rather take a political risk in pursuit of peace, than risk peace in pursuit of politics." - Donald Trump |

During the first two years of their lives, 44 babies from the original group died. Since statistics are a drag to slog through, I'll cut right to the chase - the deaths per thousand live births - the numbers tell the story. "No drugs at birth" deaths....... 15.7 deaths per 1000 live births "Cocaine positive" deaths.......17.7 deaths per 1000 live births "Opiate positive" deaths.......18.4 deaths per 1000 live births "Cannabis positive" deaths.... 8.9 deaths per 1000 live births [5] The cocaine and opiate babies have a higher death rate than the "No drugs" babies - that was to be expected. But look at the "cannabis" babies! Having extra cannabinoids in their bodies at birth (and likely later, from 2nd-hand exposure, or breast milk) seems to have some sort of a protective effect. The "cannabis" infants have a mortality rate almost half of what the "No drugs" infants have! |

Do you think you are an Indian? Have you ever just dressed up like one and sung old disco hits? What is a "regional organization", exactly? Can a bike gang apply? They could tell us how weed is bad and Meth is good. Its an opportunity. Below is a tiny sample of the groups who qualify for your taxpayers dollars, to help keep the taxpayers in question from doing something they have voted that they wish to be allowed to do: [link to grants.nih.gov] Other Independent School Districts Public Housing Authorities/Indian Housing Authorities Native American Tribal Organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments) Faith-based or Community-based Organizations Regional Organizations Wait, could GLP itself get a grant? I seriously want somebody here to apply for this. |
