Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not add unreferenced or inadequately referenced controversial biographical information concerning living persons to Wikipedia articles. Thank you. John254 01:44, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

The information concerning Stafford Poole's position on Native Americans and genocide was taken, from among other sources, Wikipedia itself, if you'd bothered to look. It shouldn't be controversial, Mr. Poole is quoted in Wikipedia.

cannabis
Hi Raventales, I noticed you're having problems over at the cannabis article. If you have a pdf of the paper, is there any chance you could upload a copy to this site so that I and JoelWhy can have a read? You might want to explain things on the talk page as well. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers SmartSE (talk) 20:01, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Just tried to load the .pdf of the article and got a "no permission to upload" message. I'm trying to figure out a work around now.


 * Hmm. Strange. Always works fine for me. SmartSE (talk) 20:35, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

I did a "get info" and it is a locked .pdf. It may help if you just use the material in the Tetrahydrocannabinol article. It has a great section on toxicity and a bunch of links. Looking back in the archives it looks like there have been a number of attempts to create the impression that cannabis is toxic in humans when in fact there is nothing out there to verify this.
