Now everyone knows that Miss Green loves the admirable, lovable cannabis sativa plant, but I just have to add- don't stop there! We cannot forget about the many other plants (that are not criminalized) that have extremely strong antibacterial capabilities-- such as:

ALOE VERA
Often used externally for healing wounds, burns etc., but can be used internally as an intestinal cleaner and healer.

ASTRAGALUS
This is a Chinese herb which stimulates the immune system and increases the activity of white blood cells. It also helps prevent colds and treats common bronchial infections.

BURDOCK ROOT
This herb possesses anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and also helps strengthen the immune system. It is also beneficial in skin disorders.

CAT'S CLAW
A Peruvian herb that helps fight or prevent infection by boosting the immune system.

CAYENNE
A popular herb for cleansing the body of germs by killing bacteria in illnesses such as colds. It also aids in the treatment of sore throats and feverishness by warming the body and inducing beneficial sweating.

CHLORELLA
A green micro-algae so not strictly a herb, but a powerful detoxifier, intestinal deodoriser and healer.

CRANBERRY BERRY
Useful for urinary tract infections e.g. cystitis, it prevents harmful bacteria living in the walls of the urinary tract.

ECHINACEA
Possibly the first choice for stimulating the immune system, increasing white blood cell production and activity and stimulating antibody production. This reduces the ability of harmful bacteria and virus to spread. It is commonly taken to help prevent or speed the recovery from colds, flu and many other infections.

FENNEL
This common herb possesses anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti inflammatory properties and is also an excellent tonic for the digestive system.

The most popular of all herbs with anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-parasitic properties which make it the perfect choice for any colds, flu or common infections.

GINSENG
there are 3 types of this - American, Korean and Siberian - and they all help to aid recovery from illness, fight fatigue and strengthen the central nervous system.

GOLDEN SEAL ROOT
This kills many disease causing organisms e.g. bacteria, yeasts, fungi and parasites and also helps to boost the immune system by toning the blood and enhancing spleen activity. Golden seal helps everything from cystitis to respiratory infections.

GREEN TEA
A powerful anti-oxidant that can be drunk to protect the gastro-intestinal system.

JUNIPER BERRY
A useful diuretic and antiseptic helping fluid retention and urinary tract infections.

LICORICE
One of the most widely used Chinese herbs. It has strong anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties and therefore it is useful in the treatment of colds and flu.

This herb is commonly used in cooking and is very popular for dry, chesty coughs, bronchitis and asthma. The oil has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties.

PAU d' ARCO
This can be taken internally or used externally for treating infections such as thrush or any yeast/fungal overgrowth. It is also effective against some intestinal parasites.

An excellent expectorant and antispasmodic for coughs.

SARSAPARILLA
This herb cleanses and detoxifies the blood by its apparent ability to bind toxins. It is also good for skin complaints especially psoriasis.

SPIRULINA
This almost microscopic freshwater plant is not a herb but deserves a mention here because it contains many anti oxidants and minerals that help boost and protect the immune system.

"Fear not the path of truth for the lack of people walking on it."

Sorry for that. But cannabis of course is the "superfood" and "superfiber" among other things. Perhaps by virtue of the fact that the plant has been used for 100s of years as a source of fiber with many different varieties arising. But IMHO these scientists don't really need a cheering section. If they're trying to patent life they would fall under the category of "mad scientist" with many people. I say HELL NO to anybody who thinks they own the rights to any life form!

"Freedom without emotion is like a car without gas."

Marijuana can do everything. Thats why every time the man tests it they come against it even stronger. not because they found a new danger to health, but because they found a new danger to their criminal syndicate within the stalks, stems, seeds, leaves, buds, and roots, of Gods greatest gift to man since the weiner.

Government has solved the age old dilemma of the alchemists. In order to turn lead into gold, just add blood.
