Marijuana when applied as a liniment as I mentioned above, behaves slightly different. When applied locally, its pain killer power is increased while its mental effects are lessened. Thus it helps with the problem of getting too high, just to kill the pain.

However since Regan started the "War on Drugs", the price of marijuana has climbed to where it is too expensive to make homemade liniments from. Regan was a great man, worthless as a president, but a great man.

You are correct in that I have never seen pot lead to violence unless mixed with other drugs.

I can't agree more. How advanced would we be now if the great library at Alexandria had not burnt. The Inca books had not been burnt by priests, and so on.

Spicy kills pain? How? You've probably posted like 73 examples of how already, but can you summarize for me here?

I love spicy food. Wonder if it helps with depression.

Well you could buy my rare collector's item book "The Fragrant Chilli (note proper spelling of the word, not the USA version )(Michael Bailes) and save me from absolute penury.( I am saving to get the $10 to become a hypography sponsor)
To cut a very long story short there is a chemical called "P" (seriously it is "Substance P" -unimaginative chemists). No 'P'=No pain.
Capsiacin gradually diminishes the level of "P" so no pain.

It works like this; you have a sore knee you rub on some chilli, it burns a bit, pain is a bit less. You keep doing this for a few days until your body gets fed up and stops producing 'P'.
QED= no pain
If you find this hard to believe look to the all-knowing web:-

Capsiacin is a resin found in many species of 'hot peppers'. ... More recent scientific studies have proven that Capsiacin depletes substance P, ...

You can make you own liniment by blending some chilli in alcohol or oil and letting it infuse for a few days. There are four varieties of Capsiacins in chillies Different chillies have different combinations and pemitations of them.

You may need to increase the strength of your lineament over time I don't know for sure.
You can also buy Capsaicin cream (same as in pepper "capsicum" (sic)sprays). "Zostrix" is a brand used out here. It only contains one variety of Capsiacin

Warning Quirky Fact Alert.Capsiacin is made by the Tabasco factory who also make it also for pepper spray.

Unfortunately most older arthritic people don't use it because the heat sensation frightens them. Capsiacin is totally safe even used in very high doses (eg pepper sprays -if you are not asthmatic or have a weak heart!).

Warning Quirky Fact Alert. All police in NSW Oz are sprayed with "Capsicum (sic) Spray" as part of their training . I met a senior Sargent who went though the training.
She said she would never use it on anyone as it was too cruel -she was a very serious, no-nonsense, tough cop.
In the training though, they used water to wash it off the police trainees. This makes it much worse as Capsiacin is not soluble in water. You must have oil or alcohol.

I love spicy food. Wonder if it helps with depression.

Yes it does.
I list dozens of medical conditions Chilli can be used for in the book (remember the book?) including the fact that the chilli leaves are anti-biotic!

Yeah, it's hilarious. Too bad I can't get it legally like I can almost all other pain killers via e-mail, even oxycontin which is hell on earth if you take it more than a few days and try to quit. sometimes i wonder if the people who make the rules are really living in the real world.

They certainly don't live in pain

Constituents Of Hashish And Marijuana May Help To Fight Inflammation And Allergies

Science Daily — Endocannabinoids seem to play an important role in regulating inflammation processes. Scientists from the University of Bonn have discovered this in experiments on mice. Their results will be published in the journal 'Science' on 8 June. The study may also have implications for therapy. In animal experiments, a solution with an important component made from cannabis reduced allergic reactions of the skin.


Extracts of the hemp plant cannabis are traditionally used as a popular remedy against inflammation. At the beginning of the last century this natural remedy was even available at every chemist's. But due to the intoxicating effect of the component THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) the plant was taken off the chemist's shelves in the 1930s.
