Well… I prefer to relax with a rosary, a good religious book, a bubble bath and save $$$, and be healthier in the long run.

Your opinion is the opinion of a calumniator. Perhaps you are not relaxing enough Rosaries.

You made a false accusation and have neither apologized for nor retracted your false accusation.

79 replied to songbird, that placenta fetal cells injections were ok, for joints.  I disagree, and gave to Mark79 links with articles saying that different stages of of a baby, such as 3 months in womb were best for harvesting and he still said it was ok!


"fetal" = baby

"placental" = afterbirth, not baby

"placenta fetal" is a really stupid oxymoron equivalent to "not baby/baby."

I have never ever anywhere to anyone said harvesting parts from 3 month old babies is acceptable.

I have never ever anywhere to anyone said harvesting placentas from 3 month in utero babies is acceptable. Damaging the placenta at that gestational age would likely damage the baby.

In no way shape or form do I advocate anything remotely as you said.

Even if stem cells harvested at 3 months are "better" (more efficacious medically), the risk to the baby is immoral and unacceptable.

Placental (not baby) stem cells harvested from the afterbirth (not baby) can be harvested without any harm to full-term babies. Doctors used to throw away the afterbirth. Now doctors use the tissues from the afterbirth to good effect—not using only stem cells, but even using amniotic membranes, umbilical cord blood, Wharton's Jelly, stromal tissue, etc.

Reputable tissue banks use only placentas from carefully screened (medically and socially, no diseases, no crack whores) women having repeat C-sections. Though there was a brief period in the 90's when it was trendy to try to have a vaginal delivery after a first C-section, that fad justifiably passed quickly (concern for uterine rupture during vaginal delivery after a previous C-section). Currently the rule of thumb is "once a C-section, always a C-section." Because the second C-section is scheduled, it is much easier to arrange business hours care of the placental tissue than it is for an emergency C-section in the middle of the night.

If you are going to make claims about what I have said, I'd really appreciate it if you'd get it right.

I see that you logged in about two hours after I PM'd you and made the post immediately above.  I see that you also logged in within the hour of this post, but not a peep from you.

If I had wrongly accused you, I would have apologized and retracted the accusation within minutes of learning my error.

Essentially you accused me of advocating harvesting of tissue from babies in the womb. I did not, do not, and never will advocate such heinous sin.

Your post makes clear that you did not understand the distinction between what is a baby and what is not a baby (the afterbirth). Your post makes clear that you did not understand the distinction between ante-partun (before birth) and post-partum (after the baby is delivered/born) harvesting of placental (afterbirth, not baby) tissue.

In the future, if you decide you need to accuse me of heinous sin, please be so kind as to confirm the details before you post such damaging accusations.

Currently, of course, it's not ... but that's due to the stigma attached to marijuana vs. alcohol, and that's why a lot of the posters here are getting so worked up and emotional about it.

One of the main reasons that marijuana was banned was because the earliest vehicle engines ran on hemp oil, and Jєωιѕн Rockefeller big oil had to suppress it so they could sell their oil.  Even now you can, with the right conversion kit, turn almost any diesel engine to bio-diesel (running on various vegetable oils).

Meanwhile, Big Pharma could put THC in pill form, add another ingredient or two, patent it, charge $400 per dose, and it's suddenly sanitized and acceptable.

People have been PROGRAMMED.

Do people know that both Pope Leo XIII and St. Pius X drank cocaine-laced wine?  Cocaine was not yet illegal.  Pope Leo XIII was particularly enthusiastic about it (brand name Vin Mariani), to the point that he awarded a Vatican medal to Angelo Mariani and allowed his likeness to be used in advertisements for it.  He credited it with the energy he had, reigning til the age of 93 and having written 88 encyclicals (of the 300 total ever written by popes).  I wish I could get my hands on some of that stuff, or the original Coca Cola.
Correct.  It needs to become legal, and controlled as alcohol, for a decade or so and they will change their tune.

Well, for those who smoke to relax, If MJ suppresses immunity, works on lungs, good luck if you get sick, maybe covid.  You have set yourself up. I am pretty sure MJ does not suppress immunity.  Actually, I think it helps strengthen it.  
If one feels like they have to ask if it is ok to use MJ to relax, then their conscience is bothering them, hm, why?  Why do you jump the gun and assume that?  The priest and I were discussing a young man who we both know uses MJ and I asked the priest if MJ was si full to use.  But no, it wouldnt occur to you that it could be a casual discussion with a priest.  You jump the gun and assume i had to ask due to a guilty conscience..  go hang your head in shame. My dad relaxed with lucky strikes. About a carton a week.  He died at the age of 54.  cancer from lung to brain, usual course. He might not have died if he had smoked MJ, or used Rick Simpson Oil to CURE his cancer, or at least not suffer an agonizing or dopey death if he had smoked it or had eaten edibles. 

It may be your decision, medically, do it right or not at all.  I don't want to meet a driver impaired with MJ on the road.  Something that can not be measured, hm, will the driver on MJ be in trouble?  Is smoking MJ the same as a cigarette, and no one gets in trouble?  I wouldn't want to meet a driver impaired with alcohol on the road, either 

I prefer to relax with a rosary, a good religious book, a bubble bath and save $$$, and be healthier in the long run.  Your female choice.  Others, especially men, prefer a glass of wine,  a bottle of beer, a shot of whiskey, or some MJ  to relax after a hard day's work.
