That may explain why my saccharivore diet hasn't killed me (yet) and why I have been dropping pounds like hot rocks during the last year. :smoke1:

Diabetes runs in my Family, all my siblings have it, I do not.

I have been smokin' herb regularly since the tender age of 13.

There is something to this for sure.

All the more reason for the lobbyists working for the pharma corporations to work extra hard!

I started smoking at 15, I'm now 50........I also have type 2 diabetes. Marijuana may reduce risk, or assist those effected, but it's not a wonder drug. I'm half native (Aknabi) we have a history of diabetes and cancer, as well as weed use.
Marijuana is demonized not because of the pleasurable properties but due to moral/financial concerns.
