  1. Actually, hemp is very healthy. You may be confusing marijuana with hemp. Marijuana is the cultivated buds (flowers) of the female cannabis sativa plant (typically even specific genetic strains), very high in THC and THA, among other psychoactive compounds. Hemp used for health purposes is typically a product of the seeds (which contain negligible levels of any psychoactive compounds, and are practically impossible to get 'high' from). The seeds can produce very healthy oils and flours. An interesting fact, if you follow health food, is the balance of essential fatty acids (EFAs). If you are taking a flaxseed supplement, you may note that it is recommended to take a break from it occasionally, as the imbalance of omega 3s, 6s, and 9s can cause a buildup in your system. The fact that hempseed oil has a EFA profile that perfectly matches the human body's has led some to believe that it is no accident. I would encourage anyone who believes that the cannabis sativa plant is strictly for medicine or recreational use / abuse to learn more. Hemp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia is a great place to start.
  2. Hello! I'm new here! I'm here specifically because I have some questions about Mormonism, both in theology and in practice. I tried to ask the folks over at mormon.org, but it seemed like they were really restricted about what they could talk about. The questions I have are pretty involved, so I won't go into them here. I'm 31 and married, we have two dogs and live near Austin, TX. I was raised Jehovah's Witness, and am currently not affiliated with any religion. I have been a student of religious belief my whole life, (which started in a small town called Palmer, Alaska), and find nothing so fascinating, both academically and personally as the way that people relate to God and the way that that affects their day to day life. I can say this: I did not come here to be converted. I came here because I have honest questions about Mormons that I'd like to have answered by Mormons. I can promise that as long as you're being cool, open and honest with me, I'll be friendly, open, and nonjudgmental of your beliefs.
