The first Gitmo prisoner has been removed from custody in Cuba and moved to a prison in New York, and fear-mongering politicians are saying things such as the terrorist will only be"walking around." That's a lie! Plenty of New York City cab drivers will recognize the man and give him rides.

I have a friend who was fading away from lung cancer. He was ready to give up, tired of living weak and defeated. He had heard about marijuana helping with chemo, but didn't know there was a way around smoking it. His wife learned how to make marijuana cookies and everything turned around.

These positive changes encouraged him to keep fighting; suddenly the battle didn't seem quite over. Last time I saw him, he looked more like a triathlete than a cancer patient.
