Ebola and Medical Marijuana.

I saw a news article about tobacco mosaic virus being a cure for ebola. But I guess it didn't work. I'm confused why no one wanted to try it from a marijuana plant but instead they only tried it from a tobacco plant. +Rep for medical if it works, haha. Could this work? I've thought about this for a while now.

TMV is merely the carrier (vector).

A good read ( if you're interested in the subject) is The Hot Zone. It's basically about the first outbreak of Ebola in the US and the hunt for the origin of the virus in the jungles of Africa. Def an eye opener. Ebola is a nasty motherfucker, but I think the outbreak hysteria laughable at this point. It's just too virulent to cause a major outbreak, this particular strain only killing 7 out of ten people is relatively tame, Ebola mayinge kills 90%. I digress though, we should be looking towards mushrooms for any sort of cure to this .

I thought the article about shark liver oil being used as part of the vaccine for hiv/aids thats being worked on was interesting. This article was not from too long back either. Don't think it fully worked but it made their vaccine last longer or better, something like that. Saw something else about a vaccine for cocaine use too. Might have been in relation to the brit's using so much cocaine that its now in their water system. That new mosguito is interesting too, Chikungunya. These mosquito are breeding in high numbers because when the US is done with tires they send them to Africa to be used as re treads. The piles of used tires collect rain water and the mosquito breed in them. This other mosquito is out during the day and night hours or something and its bigger if I remember right. Being out at all hours disease is spreading faster. Shrooms are supposed to help with cluster headaches. And I would be inclined to try some shrooms too. I hear it helps with depression. The positive effects from using shrooms I've read can linger for months after a dose before someone would take another dose.

I won't fault the brits for their love of cocaine, I love that shit too haha. We need to find the vector first before we do anything. Look at where this virus comes from: it comes from the African jungle. People contract that shit from eating bush meat(i.e. monkey's) who are infected with it. The primates catch it from somewhere though. We need to find out where before we can handle this.

I'm still kind of shocked at what South Korea did when they were afraid of a swine flu outbreak.
I can see why but when you actually see a video of it, geez.
Maybe Africa should kill all the bush meat, haha.
