a comparisonPosted by Darlahood on August 23, 2001 at 19:43:42: In reply to: thank you, Wolfgang, and requests posted by Catherine Cartwright Jones on August 23, 2001 at 02:04:49: I am just wondering if the current administration will "believe" the"politically correct" use of henna as a traditional medium for hindus, muslims, and jews. I don't really think america cares too much for any of these groups right now, sorry to say. I think we need to do a lot more than just document henna's place in the traditional asian and african household. We really need those facts and figures about toxicity and ppd. Let me put it this way, it's like the difference between recreational and medicinal marijuana. Medicinal marijuana is legal in a few states, only because people have fought tooth and nail through scientific evidence to make it so. The fact that cannabis is older than civilization and people have been using it for centuries in all sorts of ways (food, clothing, and yeah, to get high), doesn't save it from the courts. I hope some of you will understand this comparison. I just used a huge teatree rinse on my dreads so I'm kinda in a funk. ~Darlahood
