The pdf from the 10 year research at UC had an article saying that the right amount of pot is good for pain relief, but too much ("overdosing" as we call it) is bad for pain.

Anyone who has overdosed on pot knows that.

However, Fox News tries to spin it to make pot sound like it's bad for pain relief.

"Wallace and colleagues call for further research, including studies of the clinical value of the pain-reducing effects. Based on this studies findings, Wallace said he would not recommend marijuana as a method of pain reduction at this time."

Anyone who read the pdf would know that it sounds like the doctors were 100% for marijuana as a medical drug.

Let the Fox-hatin begin :P

fox news is an interesting entity they are the only news network that fights obamas nazi campaign but they have always hated herbal for some reasons I guess you can't win everyone over... i still remember bill orielly trying to talk shit to montel about medical weed and bill have never even tried the shit.. what a hippo

Fox news is not news, it is infotainment like most all of the news channels now.
Want real news, watch the BBC, at least they are not constantly running clips about Paris Hilton or Tiger Woods or other stories that are not really news.
The only thing I watch on Fox is the Simpsons :-)

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but I'll assume you're being serious. Go to the Cannabis Laws/Legislation subforum, and look at Republicans and Marijuana. You'll see that isn't true.

Also, there isn't just liberals and republicans. I vote liberally, but that's only to support pot. I'm liberal on social issues, and conservative on monetary issues. At this point in my life, I just consider the former more important than the latter, so I vote democrat.

Both of my parents vote republican pretty consistently and they're both 100% in favor of total legalization of marijuana.

And also, yeah Fox News isn't really news. But I don't want to make it sound like Fox is bad but all of the liberal stations are perfectly acceptable news sources. It's best to avoid most of these news sources. I actually get my news from BBC which is unbiased. I recommend the same to other people.

I guess it's just another reason to be disappointed with these stations.

Ah, so your parents are not "the Christian right".

It's not a straight news entity. Hypocrisy is essential and avoidable in that situation.

Bingo. Politically driven infotainment.

My British friends say the BBC is pretty bad as far as pushing agit-prop.

LOL fox news I am surprised they don't run stories about bat boy and other crap that you see in tabloids too. I don't like that other channel that is the opposite of fox the one with the lesbian and the guy who calls everyone the "worst person in the world"

All the news shows are like the other guy above me said "infotainment"

I can not understand how news got this way. It is now ok for reporters to straight up lie. WTF? I like the other dude said like bbc or local radio like chicago wbbm or wgn(I know they play the cubs but screw the cubs go SOX!)
