When smoked before maturity. After one has achieved maturity, becoming a real one (as opposed to a legal one), anti-aging becomes rather more important.

I think you mixed up 2 verses...maybe you should cut your morning dose down to just one joint, and see if that helps.

This is reminiscent of the "science" of the 1930s that "proved" that cigarette smoking strengthened the lungs.

Heroin had great claims made about it, too. It was named "heroin" for its "heroic" qualities.

And, of course, cocaine is the wunderdrug of all wunderdrugs for restoring strength, endurance, and clarity of thought.

Laetrile would right up there, too, if it only made people high as well as curing their cancer.

Or maybe I should say : "Hillary-ankles"
