By now (25 August 2016 0346z) I’m sure there are a lot of questions about the missing text. Here it is:
I wrote a few days ago about cannabinoids in the gut. It turns out there are also a lot of cannabinoid receptors in the skin.
Cannabinoids are almost exclusively found in cannabis, and have been shown to have a significant effect on chronic skin conditions. Cannabinoids are well-known to play a role in regulating inflammation, and this may be the key to their ability to treat eczema and psoriasis.2
It is well-documented that the gastrointestinal tract, which, like the skin, is one of the primary physical barriers of the immune system, has abundant cannabinoid receptor sites. Now, research has shown that the skin also has an endocannabinoid system of its own, which helps to regulate the production of various hormones and proteins, including cytokine, which is also involved in the immune response. The skin’s endocannabinoid system also helps to regulate various cellular processes including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis or cell death. Thus, imbalance of this system may also be responsible for the occurrence of chronic skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema, and developing targeted cannabinoid therapies may help to control them.3
Now if only the politicians and government tit suckers would get out of the way. That is not going to happen. The thieves will have to be fought every step of the way.

Cannabinoids – is there anything they can’t do?
Florida is about to try another constitutional amendment on medical marijuana. Wish us luck.
(I’d rather legalization, but…baby steps.)
We’ve presently got EXTREMELY limited medical marijuana (and I do mean extremely).
Thought i’d check in to see how you are doing. First thing I see is an article about “cannabinoids.”
I guess you are doing okay. 🙂
Anybody home?

And there’s this unbearably cute cover version by a couple of Thai teenagers:

no new blogs in days shows you how dope smoking effects the brain!
Would you rather live around alcoholics or stoners?
And since I can’t think of anywhere else to place this:
How do you feel about talking food? Something like Kentucky Fried Parrot. Is that too morally objectionable? Maybe it’s rally good, impossible to resist, with 11 herbs and spices. Lower fat than chicken, high protein, all that. You know some prankster will teach them to say “don’t taste me, bro” as they head to the slaughter house. What do you do?
MM – Could you give a link?
I suspect, though that even if I knew it was totally non-sentient imitation, my appetite would suffer. Heh. Good evolutionary idea – might work…
