Not to deviate from the subject of this post, but I'm a avid concert goer and musician and have always wondered if smoking cannabis at a concert would harm my brain anymore than it would another one of my friends being that I have a shunt. I know that medical cannabis is much safer than anything "off the street" so to speak but then again......
What are all of your thoughts on this matter? Thanks.

It may interest you to know that The United States Government, as represented by the Department of Health and Human Services, was granted a U.S. Patent (#6630507) on October 7, 2003 on any and all uses and applications of: Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants.
I tried to post the link to the site, but the system won't let me. Please google that patent number to see it for yourself.
Yes, it's illegal to use as a schedule one drug, but they've patented the genetics! As a 49 yr old woman with hyrdrocephalus, I'm far from a 20 yr old looking to get stoned. But, like many, over years of legally prescribed pharmaceuticals I have no appetite, chronic nausea, chronic apnea, chronic insomnia, chonic pain. I was so doped up I fell down all the time & was getting fatter & fatter, about to have to go to a nursing home!! When they switched my meds or I had to go to the hospital I'd have to go through withdrawal again! It's nuts!!
Now I stay all natural & I hurt less, sleep more, & when I don't have safe access to any, I don't go through withdrawal. It sucks to have to sit still & pray, meditate... but it beats the heck out of withdrawal! It kills me to think of the young adults who are not being told about the SAFER ALTERNATIVE, CANNABIS!! If I can help anyone with info, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Peace!
