Sen. Hugh Farley, R-Niskayuna, a business law professor, said the pot activists don't bother him, and he considers them "kind of funny."
"They weren't obnoxious; they weren't in your face," he said. "Every time we came out of conference they tended to be there. I don't think they were taken seriously by anybody; I don't think their issue is taken seriously by anyone. In my judgment they were just trying to get attention."

Dan Eggink says he wishes his first wife, who died of cancer in 1977, had been able to use the oils from cannabis. He's convinced the herbal treatment kills cancer cells. (Needless to say, this theory falls well outside conventional medicine.)
"Needless to say, this theory falls outside conventional medicine"? Really?
James Odato, shame on you. Didn't you bother to do a google search that leads to many studies that prove that yes, THC does indeed kill cancer?
So science and Harvard University is out to lunch on cannabis curing cancer?

"In The Times Union news story, "Couple brings pot plant to Capitol", the author James M. Odato writes, "Dan Eggink says he wishes his first wife, who died of cancer in 1977, had been able to use the oils from cannabis. He's convinced the herbal treatment kills cancer cells. (Needless to say, this theory falls well outside conventional medicine.)"
I've done research on THC curing cancer and I have found nothing but that science proves that yes THC is a remedy for cancer.
Most recently Harvard University 2007 reported, that THC activates naturally produced receptors to fight off lung cancer.
Manuel Guzman, Dept. of Biology, Completense University, Spain found that THC stopped brain tumors in rats and protected surrounding nerve tissue, demonstrating neuroprotectant aspect of Cannabinoids.

Mr. Odato says that this science falls well outside of conventional medicine but yet offers no studies or evidence of this? What gives?
