OH, THE IRONY

I could only laugh at the irony of `Senate removes obstacles for
breast-feeding moms .' Would the Senate have supported breast feeding
if they knew that the endogenous cannabinoid (internally produced
marijuana-like compound) anadamide is found in high concentrations in
mother's milk where it relaxes the newborn baby and gives it the
munchies? If this marijuana-like activity is inhibited, as has been
proposed as treatment for `marijuana addicts', newborn animals fail
to nurse and die. What message does it send the children when our
governor and legislators support the `Got Milk' program? Perhaps milk
should be made illegal like marijuana or maybe farmers should be
required to produce milk free of cannabis activity. But, law
enforcement would have difficulty determining who was producing legal
and illegal milk just as they claim would be the case if THC-free
hemp were grown in Vermont.
