Any thinking person would agree this quote sounds just like what our government is doing to us with all these lies. The real issue is the people who funded Hitler's rise to power have complete control over our government. When these agencies put out these "official" statements it makes my skin crawl. The statement itself and the fact its a blatant lie is actually conditioning the people to accept the lies as normal behavior for the government. Some people are OK with the fact no one ever gets in trouble or just don't care enough to have an opinion, and some people are scared to think that if people in power are lying about a plant what else are they lying about? Their answer is to block out the reality so they don't have to deal with it.
Yes they are ... Why are they not asking the really important question ie: Why are they turning the USA's crops/prescription drugs into GMO? Why are they putting TOXIC Fluoride in their water? If I didn't know better and I obviously don't .I would say they are trying real hard to poison their ppl. headband 707

The 10 Hardest Drugs to Kick...
1. Heroin
Dependence Rating (Out of 3): 2.89
No surprise here: heroin’s addictiveness is the stuff of legend. As an opiate, it affects opioid receptors throughout the body and mimics endorphins, reducing pain and causing pleasure. Areas of the brain involved in reward processing and learning are stocked with tons of these opioid receptors, so when you inject heroin, you are basically training your brain to make you crave it. Pair that with nasty withdrawal symptoms and high fat solubility (which allows it to get into your brain quickly), and you have the most addictive drug in the world. An estimated 281,000 people received treatment for heroin addiction in the US in 2003, and according to the National Institute on Drug Addiction, a full 23 percent of people who have ever used heroin become addicts.
2. Crack Cocaine
Dependence Rating: 2.82
Although crack cocaine and powder cocaine have similar chemical compositions and effects, smoking processed crack causes a faster, higher rush that lasts for less time (about 10 minutes, versus 15-30 for powder cocaine). The intensity of the high combined with the efficient method of ingestion—smoking—are the big reasons why addiction rates are dramatically higher for crack than they are for snorted powder. In 2010, there were an estimated 500,000 active crack cocaine addicts in the United States.
3. Nicotine
Dependence Rating: 2.82
Though nicotine doesn’t cause the rush of heroin or crack, it's biologically similar in a crucial way: it mimics a common neurotransmitter—so well that scientists named one of the acetylcholine receptors after it. Smoking regularly reduces the number and sensitivity of these “nicotinic” receptors, and requires that the user keep ingesting nicotine just to maintain normal brain function. There are a shocking 50,000,000 nicotine addicts in the US, and one in every five deaths nationwide are the result of smoking.
4. Methadone
Dependence Rating: 2.68
In a clinical setting, tolerance to this drug is actually considered a good thing when treating a heroin addiction. A junky getting treated with methadone will quickly become resistant to its euphoric effects and use it to keep heroin withdrawal symptoms at bay. The problem is this: tolerance to methadone is a sign of an addiction to methadone.
5. Crystal Meth
Dependence Rating: 2.24
Directly mimicking a natural neurotransmitter “teaches” your brain to want a drug—that’s how nicotine and heroin work. Crystal methamphetamine takes it to the next level: it imitates the reward chemical dopamine and the alertness chemical norepinephrine, causing your neurons to release more of both—all the while training your brain to want them more. What’s worse, the drug can damage dopamine- and norepinephrine-releasing neurons, which leads to a drastic decrease in their production, thereby making you crave more meth. It’s an addict’s nightmare and a marketer’s dream.
6. Alcohol
Dependence Rating: 2.13
Because alcohol is legal and often consumed in social settings, alcohol addiction is complicated. But as an addictive agent, it’s remarkably simple—and effective. Alcohol’s withdrawal syndrome is so severe that it can cause death, and its effects on the brain’s reward system cause well-documented and intense craving in heavy drinkers. Regardless of the mechanism, 17.9 million Americans (7% of the US population) were classified as being addicted to or abusing alcohol in 2010.
7. Cocaine
Dependence Rating: 2.13
Cocaine prevents the reabsorption of dopamine in the brain’s reward areas. After you use enough blow, your brain reduces the number of dopamine receptors in this region, figuring it's already got plenty of it. You can see where this is going. Because there are now fewer receptors, stopping the drug makes you crave it—after all, the body needs its dopamine. Cocaine doesn’t destroy dopamine neurons like methamphetamine, which makes its effect less powerfully addictive, but the fast method of use (snorting), short high (less than an hour) and rapid tolerance put it in the top ten.
8. Amphetamines
Dependence Rating: 1.95
Adderall users beware: Regular amphetamine (classified as pure or blended dextroamphetamine without methamphetamine, and including Adderall, Dexedrine, and Desoxyn) might not be quite as addictive as meth, but because it acts on the same reward circuit, it still causes rapid tolerance and desire for more if used regularly or in high doses. Quitting cold turkey can cause severe depression and anxiety, as well as extreme fatigue—and you can guess what extreme fatigue makes you crave...
9. Benzodiazepines
Dependence Rating: 1.89
There’s a reason your doctor will tell you to taper off these prescription anti-anxiety drugs (Valium, Xanax, Klonopin, et al) after taking them for awhile. Each one increases the effectiveness of a brain chemical called GABA, which reduces the excitability of many other neurons and decreases anxiety. Because benzodiazepines cause rapid tolerance, quitting cold turkey causes a multi-symptom withdrawal that includes irritability, anxiety and panic attacks—enough to make just about anybody fall right back into benzo's comforting arms.
10. GHB
Dependence Rating: 1.71
Last on the list is a depressant and club drug that may itself be a neurotransmitter. It has cross-tolerance with alcohol—if you drink regularly, you'll need to ingest more GHB to get high—as well as a short half life in the body and a brutal withdrawal syndrome that causes insomnia, anxiety, dizziness and vomiting. The combination is nasty: Take a lot of GHB to make up for your tolerance to alcohol and you could be hooked.

Could not figure out how to get just #9.
It is VERY relevant, to Me as I dropped my Preoxatine 20Mg/day, I was on it like 4-5yrs, and B4 that it was Lexapro, all because they said that the in ability to shut My brain down to sleep.
If I had any thing on My mind at bed time forget sleep for hours, My mind just spun on, I also could not let little shit go.
Stuff mOST folks get iratated about, and let go in
Minutes, I would replay over, and over for hours. (Dr's called it Anxiety.
Just b4 Memorial day, I went COLD TURKEY from the shit, and Tore My guts out trying to figure out JUST WHO THE FUCK I AM (mid life crisis), whats REAL???? I cried a lot because that shit numbed Me and made Me a heartless PRICK! I realized I would rather get emotional, cry, and see life as it is.
Im 47 yrs old, no Tatz,untill Memorial day, now I got 3 tatz, and a Bass Guitar.
I am doing better, now and have found focus, and am working on letting things go. I will NEVER go on any of that shit EVER again.
My Wife of 26yrs is anurse and warned Me this was a bad idea, and begged Me to go back on the shit, for a week, My Best Brah begged Me to go back, during the week I was loosing it also.
They could not see inside My head to see that I was starting to be the truly compassionate Pieces I was born to Be.
I have never lost any thing to smoking Mj.
When I run out and go cold turkey, I get a little grumpy for a day or two, and am a little restless at night,1-2 nights, and that's it, 3rd day is fine.
Theres no wonder we have school shootings,,, ALL the recent adolesant school shootings have ONE THING in COMMON BENZO's
Our Fucking Government Knows it TOO!!!
What do we hear though???? GOTTA TAKE THE GUNS!!!!
They can have MY GUNS,,,, When I am out of ammo, or DEAD!!!

http://www.truthonpot.com/2013/08/2...uses-domestic-violence-funds-2-million-study/
Jesus. $1.86 million grant. I'd love to see the proposal, especially the lit cited section for the "many studies" showing positive association between Cannabis use and domestic violence. What a joke, money would be better spent studying geographic variation in Deer Mouse penis size.
^I totally support studying geographic variation in Deer Mouse penis size. that is important info.........
I will truly love this report how ppl turn to violence when they smoke cannabis!!! LOL yeah right.... People wonder why no one trust the Gov ,,they shouldn't . Always important to note exactly how much of YOUR cash YOUR Gov spends on bullshit such as this. I will bet you that alcohol is involves if there is any violence . Or the other famous fight that happens when one spouse doesn't want the other spouse smoking bud,,Stay frosty headband 707
