US: Reefer Madness Replaced by Hydro Hysteria
---
Tells how the “War on Drugs” has created an hysterical reaction to
hydroponic marijuana, and how using a marijuana vaporizer can
significantly reduce the harmful effects of smoking.
In the 30’s there was Reefer Madness, now we have the 21st century
version; Hydro Hysteria. Marijuana is something that Wade Agnew knows a
great deal about. The author of the recently released autobiography
“Cheating the Hangman: True Confessions of a Heroin Trafficker” Wade
knows what he’s talking about when it comes to illegal drugs; he has
been using them for almost forty years, and smoking marijuana on a daily
basis since first discovering it a University in 1968. Wade has taken
them all.
“It was bad enough in the early days. I was “verballed” by the
Australian Police; planted with two roaches; enough to have you jailed
for months! It’s laughable when I think about it now. We had to endure
this situation for decades, and people around the globe are still being
incarcerated for ludicrous amounts of marijuana. It’s a scandal,
especially in some parts of the United States; the so-called land of the
free.”
“Now health and law enforcement authorities have launched a new
international assault against the growing use of hydroponic marijuana;
known as “hydro”. Thanks to the global “War on Drugs” percolating from
the US, with its associated stranglehold on the International Narcotics
Control Board, we now have to endure a new round of anti-marijuana
hysteria. This new assault demonizes, criminalizes and persecutes those
who choose to consume cannabis.
“Jesus, in the 1960’s I would have given my right arm for marijuana as
consistently good as the current hydro. The main complaint seems to be
the increased strength; the high THC content; often around 20%”.
“Are these guys kidding me? Grass that’s too strong! Is there any such
thing? Not in my book; the stronger the better. I use a marijuana
vaporizer these days. It’s the absolute best way to take your medicine,”
says Wade from his home in Australia, where much to his chagrin,
marijuana remains illegal.
Health experts have jumped on board, adding their own medical hysteria.
It causes schizophrenia they claim. People with this ailment are
certainly drawn to cannabis, and it could well aggravate the condition,
but nothing definitive regarding cause and effect has been established.
On the other side of the health ledger, it has been known for centuries
that marijuana is one of the safest therapeutically active substances
known to man, with a wide variety of applications; relief from nausea
and increase of appetite; reduction of intra-ocular (within the eye)
pressure; reduction of muscle spasms, and relief from chronic pain.
Marijuana is frequently beneficial in the treatment of AIDS, Glaucoma,
Cancer (chemotherapy treatment), Multiple Sclerosis, Epilepsy, and
Chronic Pain. Many patients also report that marijuana is useful for
treating arthritis, migraine, menstrual cramps, alcohol and opiate
addiction, depression and other debilitating mood disorders. Do we ever
hear any of this from the health “experts”?
Since much of the controversy over the use of cannabis originates from
possible long-term damage from harmful elements in the smoke, using a
marijuana vaporizer makes good sense.
“I import the VapoHead Marijuana Vaporizer into Australia because I
couldn’t get a decent one locally” says Wade.
“It releases the beneficial ingredients of marijuana into my lungs
without burning; no tars or other harmful carcinogens. I wake in the
morning without that heavy feeling in my lungs. Many glass-dome
marijuana vaporizers have appeared since the first vaporizers arrived in
1994. None of them work as well as the VapoHead; remember bigger is not
always better.”
Large glass domes are inefficient. You lose many of the active
ingredients of marijuana because they condense on the inside of the
dome. The VapoHead Marijuana Vaporizer has a small dome and an airtight
seal designed for maximum efficiency. The ceramic bowl allows for even
heating unlike brass versions, holding an ample amount of your chosen
cannabis. The smaller size and scientific design combine just the right
amount of heat and reduced oxygen supply for maximum benefit.

According to the “Maps” study; (Vol.11 spring2001) "The Marijuana
Vaporizer produced THC at a temperature of 200 C. (392 F.), while
completely eliminating three measured toxins; benzene, a known
carcinogen, plus toluene and naphthalene. Carbon monoxide and smoke tars
were both qualitatively reduced by the Marijuana Vaporizer.
“So don’t believe everything you read about hydro, keep your own
counsel, stay calm, and if you want to get stoned without feeling like
you’ve just sucked smoke from a car exhaust, get yourself a marijuana
vaporizer.” Says Wade from in front of his laptop in Australia.
