With the all of the 4/20 events yesterday I was wondering why there is no quasi "holiday" for 2/14. Sure there is Valentines day, the quasi holiday celebrating love, but the celebration I am talking about is; On February 14, 1929 (Sir) Alexander Fleming discovered that a mold by-product can kill bacteria, called penicillin.
Penicillin has done much more for the healing of the public than marijuana has ever done. I noticed that in a KJCT news story that customers were flocking to the medical marijuana dispensaries to get "ready" for the "celebration". Why don't we all rush out on February 14th and get a bottle of penicillin to "celebrate" the discovery of penicillin?
I read in the Denver Post that there are 2,000 people ages 18-21 that have medical marijuana cards. There are about 20,000 people in the state that have medical marijuana cards. So are we to believe that 10% of the population that has some sort of medical issue that "requires" medical marijuana are in the ages of 18,19,20,21? What the hell is happening to these young adults? Are there other health issues we need to be concerned about?
I'm not sure of all the reasons you would have marijuana prescribed, but I think chronic pain and glaucoma are two principle reasons. Are cell phones and video games causing glaucoma? I know if you sit to close to the TV you will go blind, that is what my mom told me years ago. So maybe we are just sitting to close to the TV. Is there some sort of terrible disease that is inflicting pain on our young people? With all the marijuana cards being issued to our youth we must be having an epidemic of something.
Maybe I'll just go take a couple of penicillin and "think" about it for a while...
