MTBE, as most people know by now, is a byproduct of rocket feul, munitions, and fireworks production. <br>  <br> As a 20 year student of science, I find the claim that such a short study conducted by those guilty of putting the poison in our local water supplies as an outright insult to scientific intelligence. This is much like saying that smoking cigarettes for two weeks and looking at the health effects of that, multiplying it by ten years and saying that the effects would be negligible. <br>  <br> In contrast, the Supreme Court has recently ruled, on June 6th, 2005, that the Federal Government can prosecute medical marijuana growers regardless of an individual state's laws that may allow such growth. <br>  <br> In a nutshell, our Federal Government is saying; Rocketfuel in our drinking water is okay, safe, and acceptable, but marijuana, used as medicine should remain a crime.<\/p>\n","contact":"restorefreedom7@yahoo.com","link":"www.endtimes7.blogspot.com","address":"Colton, Ca.","phone":"9098246803","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Study sponsored by MTBE (rocket feul, munitions byproduct) users, claims no proof of MTBE danger.
