Marijuana Research

Came across this interesting marijuana documentary some time back and decided to see what truth is in it; recently found this interesting publication from the US government called "Marijuana and Health - Report of a Study by a Committee of the INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE Division of Health Sciences Policy NATIONAL ACADEMY PRESS Washington, D.C. 1982"

Many interesting points brought up in this study from 1980's including:

• EFFECTS ON THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND ON BEHAVIOR
• EFFECTS ON THE CARDIOVASCULAR AND RESPIRATORY SYSTEMS
• EFFECTS ON THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM AND ON CHROMOSOMES
• THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
• THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL
• THE NEED FOR MORE RESEARCH ON MARIJUANA

and more.

PDF download, for text version also found on google books but more organized and summarized version will be presented here soon.

For "The union: the business behind getting high" please leave a comment if you found places to purchase it (like this Amazon UK link), otherwise about the topic or any general opinions or criticism are welcome.

Another, newer, research I made can be found HERE

How to read or modify Microsoft Office 2007 documents

This has been a big issue with the new Microsoft office 2007 software since day 1, new format that is not backwards compatible leaving both users of the new software and old software confused and frustrated. The main issue has been with the xml formats as Microsoft claims has new features; docx, xlsx, pptx, etc. from the original doc, xls, ppt which has been around since at least 1997...

Finally, a download has become available from Microsoft to put a small fix on the problem.

This is like an add-on to your current MS office suit (tested with 2003 so far, let me know if works with xp/2000 in the comments) which basically converts the MS 2007 documents into something readable, the neat feature thogh is that you can still save it as 2007 format (without the new features of course).

Enjoy proprietary freedom in all it's glory
