Mugabe headed for the exit at long last

Zimbabwe's highest court has ordered President Robert Mugabe to ensure the African country holds elections by the end of July. Chief Justice Godfrey Chidyausiku said that out of a nine-judge panel only two had dissented to the ruling he delivered. Mugabe "is hereby ordered and directed to proclaim dates for presidential, general elections ... which elections should take place not later than 31 July 2013," the justice said in a packed Supreme Court chamber. The ruling was made after a former journalist with a defunct daily newspaper asked the court to order Mugabe to call for elections by end of June. But enough about that because toking up may help marijuana users to stay slim and lower their risk of developing diabetes, according to the latest study, which suggests that cannabis compounds may help in controlling blood sugar. That is just stupid because we all know that marijuana has a well-deserved reputation for increasing appetite via what stoners call "the munchies." It has already been proven that THC shrinks tumours for lung cancer patients, helps to avoid bladder cancer, reduces obesity, can be used as a sleep aid, helps cancer patients with nausea and appetite, and makes life bearable for patients with Lou Gehrig's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other debilitating diseases. Maybe they should study it more thoroughly before making any further claims.
