I've never heard of any connection between the two. Pretty interesting, though!

He's also a liar. If he says something, I believe the opposite. Bigoted hate monger.

Why would this shock you? Diabetes is caused by excessive carbohydrates overoading your pancreas until it can no longer create insulin effectively enough to control your blood sugar. Carbohyrdates are found in vegtables, not meat products.

As for marijuana being touted as some kind of miracle wonder drug... The same things were said about other drugs at various times in recent human history, including heroin, cocaine, and benzodiazepams. Want to guess how often these claims proved to be accurate?

I never said it was a miracle drug, I was simply wondering if it had any sort of benifit to it. And just because coke and heroin don't have a place in the medical feild, doesn't mean marijuana wouldn't or shouldn't.
