Topical Application of Marijuana
Marijuana can be used topically (on the skin) to relieve pain from certain conditions. The medication can be a balm, lotion, ointment or rubbing alcohol solution. This is not a new use for marijuana. In fact prior to the time when most many patients became available and people only had plants to use for medication, many patients would soak marijuana leaves in alcohol and apply them as a poultice to an arthritic or swollen joint. It is not known how the topical treatment works as researchers have not fully studied how the medication passes through the skin.
It's Monday and that means it's time for Mystifying Monday! Mystifying Monday means that it's time for me to present some of the oddest news stories or happenings that just may mystify you! I know they can mystify me!
A Dream Come True?
A boy in Shoreline, Washington crashed his parents' car into his school and then he continued driving it for another 75 yards! He only stopped when the car hit an administrative office. He was taken for a mental evaluation and authorities do not believe drugs are alcohol were involved. From all the things students said they would do to the schools I attended, I think he may have just been trying to destroy the school.
Speaking of Gas . .
So, I wasn't really speaking of gas, but cars do require gas to move. People in Defiance, Ohio are constantly calling the nearest fire station to let them know that they are worried about a gas leak. The fire station knows that the gas is odorless, but they go out for the hour long investigation every time, knowing that the smell is coming from the rotting oilseed radishes that were planted as a cover crop to give nutrients to the soil.
Then Don't Eat the Radishes, the Daisies, or the . . . Grass?
A policeman stopped a man in Benton, Louisiana for having an excessively loud muffler. When the policeman stopped the man, he smelled marijuana. He did find two very small bags. That was a crime in itself, but not usual for people who have marijuana. However, it was a dead give away when the policeman looked at the man's mouth and saw marijuana on his lips. The man had stuffed an undetermined amount of marijuana in his mouth and ate it just as he was stopped for the loud muffler.
Cows Eat Grass and Get Revenge - People Tipping!
A man that works with livestock at University of Tennessee in Knoxville. The cow tipped the man over and then stepped on his chest! Maybe it was getting back for all the alleged stories of cow tipping, though it is widely
ieve to be an urban legend (with some people still claiming it can be done). The man was taken to the University of Tennessee medical center and was joking the entire time about a cow stepping on his chest.
Need Some Lotion for that Injury?
If the cow tipping and stomping on a man's chest didn't hurt him, maybe it chafed his skin a little so he needs some lotion. Just don't try to borrow any from a man in Springfield, Massachusetts who tried to sneak 75 bottles of lotion out of a Bath and Body Works store by stuffing them all into his pants! The bottles of lotion were 8oz each, so the man had over 23 lbs of lotion in his pants! He found it too hard to run from police and could not bend over to get into the police cruiser until some of the bottles of lotion were removed!
