First Drip (6/19/14): A bill legalizing hemp oil passes House committee, gas prices up because of Iraq, more

Posted By on Thu, Jun 19, 2014 at 10:16 AM

Could it be true? Is there movement on the legalize medical marijuana in North Carolina front? Well, a small step, at least. Yesterday, a House committee passed a bill that would legalize the manufacturing of hemp oil, extracted from a marijuana plant and used to treat epilepsy in children. The bill will go to the House floor this afternoon.

What started as a bill regulating after-market car headlights has snow-balled into a mix of proposed measures including a repeal of the law that allows residents to submit protest petitions against rezonings, a limit on what kinds of police mugshots the media can use, and more.

According to a report released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, North Carolinians will pay on average $82 a month for health insurance through Obamacare. "Tax breaks cut health plan costs by 74 percent, on average. Half of North Carolinians will pay less than $50 per month for coverage after the tax credits. An estimated 16 percent will pay more than $150."

Are you noticing gas prices going up? Blame the violence in Iraq. "The good news is that gasoline is not likely to spike above $4 as it did 6 years ago. Or even cross $3.90, as in 2011 and 2012."

For the second time, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has revoked the trademark registration on the Washington Redskins' name. The cancellation doesn't force the team to abandon the name yet; owner Dan Snyder has repeatedly said they'll keep the name, despite the fact that it's offensive. "We've seen this story before," said Redskins attorney Bob Raskopf. "And just like last time, today's ruling will have no effect at all on the team's ownership of and right to use the Redskins name and logo. We are confident we will prevail once again."

To avoid the Big Oil gasoline price rip-off, plug your Tesla S electric car into your household, solar array. Google and read the "Global Oil Scam" by Phil Davis. The US is a victim of this scam.

I never knew cannabis oil was indeed wonderful and very effective in the treatment of cancer "if not by the government and so called rules to regulate cannabis dad would still have been alive. Thanks to the new policy of legalizing cannabis in my state and have even lost my wife's kidney cancer, and it was really shocked and surprised when I see a lot of documentary on how the cannabis oil had helped many people to whom His family thought they never could do next undergoing several "Chemo" from the department of my heart, and I have to say a word of appreciation to Dr. Brown Nelson for timely intervention in the lives of my wife suffering from kidney cancer. As I write this testimony in this blog my wife is so strong and healthy even though you have not completed the total dosage "for cannabis and medical consultation opportunity and get in touch with him if you are a cancer patient through their email: (ricksimpsoncannabisoils@outlook.com) so you can lit more details

Treatment Regine:I have a pretty big tolerance for marijuana, so I started off with a full grain of rice sized amount of oil instead of a half grain. I gradually increased the dosage every night until I reached a full gram each night. The standard protocol for Rick Simpson Oil is ingesting a total of 60 grams over the course of 2-3 months, but I had 70 grams in total for safe measure. I used the excess as a topical skin care treatment, attacking the visible brown spots on my face and neck.
3 months later, my cancer was in full remission. Within 4 months, I am cancer-free and officially received a clean bill of health from my doctors. What they don’t know is that the majority of my treatment was using the Rick Simpson Oil. I did use some of the medication they prescribed, but it was in combination with the oil.

I am elated I want to continue sharing with people who are experiencing what I went through that there is absolutely hope and a cure out there. They just need to be proactive and aggressive with treatment, not wait until it is too late. Get your medication at Phoenix Tears via Email: (ricksimpsoncannabisoils@outlook.com)

In addition to being an effective cancer fighter, there are some nice side effects that come from using the Rick Simpson oil, for instance, I no longer need to take any pain killers. Just one or two drops of the oil will ease the pain and help you sleep like a baby. Best of all, its natural . . . Thanks to all the staff at Amsterdam’s Garden
who guided me throughout this journey. You guys are awesome!
