Oh yeah, that's right, I forgot, marijuana is fun !!

Interferon is particularly nasty, the things they use for Crohn's are nowhere near as bad, and quite effective.
MJ is maintained as an illegal substance for good reason. You should try workign here and see how many fucked up poeple there are from it, not to mentio it makes your teeth fall out becasue of the dry mouth.

You must think that sick people are a game to be played. Marijuana is much less toxic. And does not kill people like the drugs you are touting. Interesting. No go on the non-toxic marijuana but as long as the pharma gets paid you are good. How about some oxycontin too!!! My friend Marci a mom, kicked the oxycontin she was on. She has had multiple grand mal seizures, strokes, etc. Migraine pain every day. And you probably think she should quit using vaporized marijuana (100% safe, non-toxic and not addictive) for toxic addictive oxycontin, too?

From wikipedia on the drug you hyped!

Safety

According to the product labeling of Infliximab, Etanercept, and Adalimumab, these drugs are in the class of immunosuppressants. After a number of studies and reports of adverse reactions in patients receiving anti-TNFα therapy (including serious and sometimes fatal blood disorders, infections, rare reports of lymphoma and solid tissue cancers, rare reports of serious liver injury, rare reports of drug induced lupus and rare reports of demyelinating central nervous system disorders), the FDA issued a warning to doctors appearing in the respective product labeling of these drugs instructing them to screen and monitor potential patients more carefully ([1]). Maintenance therapy with the drug (versus intermittent or sporadic therapy) lessens the likelihood of developing antibodies to infliximab which could reduce the efficacy of the drug. Combination treatment with methotrexate (an anti-folate drug which suppresses the immune system) has been shown to reduce the formation of these antibodies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis [12] and combination therapy with other immunosuppressants has been shown to reduce the liklihood of these antibodies being formed in Crohn's disease.[9] The use of immunosuppressants may not be necessary in all diseases for which infliximab is indicated, and indiscriminant use of these other immunosuppressants carry their own risks. Infliximab was studied in monotherapy (without concommitant immunosuppressants such as methotrexate or azothiaprine) in psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis, and only its use in rheumatoid arthritis requires the concomitant use of methotrexate by FDA product labeling.

Fucker sells seeds to thousands of people and when his customers find out that they will not germinate(bad seeds) and want a refund or good seeds he threatens to hand over their information to the exact agency he is being persude by now. Rot in the cold dark jail you deserve to be in Emery you twit.

News to me and the world? I've never heard anybody complain of this. I'm a High Times reader and they are sorta of friendly competitors if this was true wouldn't they cover it? Hmmm... Where does this BS come from?
