You were on your way home when you died.

It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me.

And that’s when you met me.

“What… what happened?” You asked. “Where am I?”

“You died,” I said, matter-of-factly. No point in mincing words.

“There was a… a truck and it was skidding…”

“Yup,” I said.

“I… I died?”

“Yup. But don’t feel bad about it. Everyone dies,” I said.

You looked around. There was nothingness. Just you and me. “What is this place?” You asked. “Is this the afterlife?”

“More or less,” I said.

“Are you god?” You asked.

“Yup,” I replied. “I’m God.”

“My kids… my wife,” you said.

“What about them?”

Can You Treat Cancer With Cannabis? This Teen Girl Did

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Mon, 10/13/2014 - 08:32

8750383.tA young teenage girl, who out of concern for her well being has opted to remain anonymous, claims that cannabis oil helped treat her leukemia. She was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. She had very aggressive chemotherapy transplants and marrow transplants, and none of them seemed to be working. So she and her family opted to look for alternative treatments, which is how they landed at cannabis oil.

The treatment was implemented by two doctors from Toronto, Yadvinder Sing and Chamandeep Bali. After the first dose of cannabis oil, her situation improved. Her blast cell count was improving and her red blood cell counts went up as well. Unfortunately for this young lady, the leukemia did eventually take her life. It was a little bit too late for this treatment to be truly effective.

But it goes to show how cannabis oil can make traditional cancer treatments even more potent. What do you think? Do stories lik...

At the age of 50, this Serbian doctor was diagnosed with lung cancer with metastasis in the lymph nodes. “I’ve never smoked a single joint in my life and I am an opponent of all drugs. Classical medicine is my calling. However, when I faced lung cancer, I tried everything.” He makes the claim that the cannabis oil cured his cancer and saved his life.

“Colleagues immediately did everything to help me. Diagnosis and biopsy were done within seven days. After the initial shock, I decided to go into battle against a very awkward opponent.” And battle he did. Of course, he accepted chemotherapy, but also “included all possible alternatives.&...

The Wise Woman & The Stone

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Sun, 10/12/2014 - 19:25

Once, in ages past, there was an old, wise mystic travelling through the mountains. She had been alone for a number of days when, early one morning, she came across a precious stone in one of the highest mountain streams. It caught her eye, glinting in a manner unlike any of the others, and she retrieved it, marvelling at its beauty. It was a rare stone indeed, and she knew many of the merchants would trade their very homes and all their possessions for the gem, so great was its value in the marketplace. Far beyond the allure of riches, however, its sheer delicacy and elegance was something to behold. Holding it up to the sun, it seemed nearly ethereal in how it filtered and refracted the morning light. Marking her fortune, she offered a silent prayer and slipped the stone into her pouch, continuing on her way.

Soon after, she met another traveller along the path, a young man who was hungry and tired and looking for food. They spoke briefly, the old mystic inviting him to share in her rations over a small meal. Over the course of their communion, they traded stories, the wise woman learning that the young man was coming from the same town that she was headed to, the place...

A Rose in Eternal Bloom

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Sun, 10/12/2014 - 18:10

Everyone is a poet. What I am, you are. We keep coming back to this. Everyone is an artist. Everyone swims in the Ocean of God. Everyone is a swimmer. Everyone is everything. Everyone is a sailor, a landlubber, a pilot. Everyone rides a ferry boat back and forth. Everyone is a champion. Everyone is everything. No exceptions. Everyone is a good guy, and everyone may wear a different hat here and there. Everyone is a Creator.
 
Your life is a fantastic creation. Who could have thought of this that We call your life? All the ins and outs. All the meetings, and all the departures. Anything can happen in life, and often does to your delight or to your dismay.
 
Life is long stretches and short spans. Life is remembering and forgetting. There isn’t anything that life is not. It is hilarious, and it is, also, from your timid point of view, horrific. It is a mixed bag, but is it really? Whatever you make of anything in life, it all goes down the chute anyway. Life in the world is momentary. Everything flashes before you, and everything is gone.

WTF? Florida Bans Banning Plastic Bags

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Sun, 10/12/2014 - 15:45

Do you live in Florida? Would you like to ban plastic bags in your area? Tough luck! It’s illegal for any local or state government body in Florida to ban plastic bags. Really.

There are 132 cities and counties in the US that ban the bag in retail stores. State Senator Dwight Bullard wants to add Florida to that list, but Florida’s legislature in 2008 passed a ban on banning plastic bags. The Department of Environmental Protection in Florida recommended guidelines for better regulating plastic, but the state has not acted on it.

From the state’s charter:

“Until such time that the Legislature adopts the recommendations of the [DEP], no local government, local governmental agency, or state government agency may enact any rule, regulation, or ordinance regarding use, disposition, sale, prohibition, restriction, or t...

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Sun, 10/12/2014 - 15:45

A British farmer by the name of Michael Buck decided that he was done paying for expensive mortgages and living the rat-race life. The retired school teacher decided to build himself a cob house on land that was already available to him for $250. Buck drew out the design on the back of an envelope and got to work.

The floor boards are made from salvaged boat materials.
