That isn't true. You don't have to burn the THC to get the buzz. Cancer patients are learning to use ethanol to extract the oil, and then at low temperature, cook off the ethanol, leaving the whole cannabinoid oil. It may appear an odd thing, but we humans have an endocannabinoid immune system. And cannabis oil has 70 different cannabinoids which unhealthy cells have receptors for - but healthy cells don't. The endocannabinoids "fit" the hollow receptors in unhealthy cells, and the cell initiates apoptosis. One has to start out with extremely low doses - first time the equivalent of what would fit on the tip of a toothpick - but that has to be divided into three doses for that first day, and for three days. That gives the patient time to build up a "tolerance" level in order to not be stoned. Double that for three days, on and on for three months. You sure make a lot of assumptions.

Frankly, a load of irrelevant BS. The vast majority of trail cameras are set up for deer, bear, or hogs. They're only going to catch bigfoot if they behave exactly like deer, bear, or hogs, or *by accident*. The scientists who captured those images knew the habits of their quarry so they knew how to set up the trap to maximize their chances of success. Show me one scientist who has that same level of knowledge of bigfoot's habits, then we'll talk. MIB

Shed collection? I used to collect sheds myself, back in the day! Not those prefab plastic ones all the kids are flaunting these days, no! The sheds I had were like the ones yer grandpappy used to make by hand, designed in regard to what was to be stored in em. Yup, I built up quite a collection over the years. People' d come from far and wide to see em all arranged by various parameters depending on the season. It got pretty bad though, I'd see a shed, had to have it, do anything it took to get it...eventually, the Mrs. left, took the kids and her doghouse collection with her...I ended up going to shed anonymous meetings, and selling off the sheds, all but one,that is, my first and favourite, Ted. Ted was made to hold the corn husks shucked for the annual corn festival, and the town council wanted to archive each years winning husk pile from the big husk off held the last night of the festival. Old Ted the shed lasted a long time, twice the average for a shed, mind you...but then one year, he came up against the tragic end he could no longer forestall....termites....(sniff) I swear the pain of watching his suffering was too much, and I will never collect another shed, so help me Ted.....

Hello, everyone. You may not have intended to, but it seems like you're asking me two separate questions. So, I'll address both as I hear them... As far as the witnesses we interview on the show or that show up to town hall, I suspect that about a third to a half of them have perhaps posted their accounts to some organization or individual. Averaging that out is a pretty hard guess, though. You see, at every town hall meeting we invite some witnesses that we or someone we know have dealt with in the past (most are mined from the BFRO database, but they also come from my own database, and some from local bigfooters friends). This way, we are sure to have at least some good witnesses on hand so we can film the show. In addition to that, depending on the format of the town hall, the venue size, the story line of the episode, and other factors, we put the word out publicly in newspapers and other local media inviting witnesses to come to the meeting to share their accounts. Those meetings are fun for me because we never know what we are in for. Maybe nobody will show up, or maybe we'll get 100 attendees, many of whom are actual witnesses (we've had over 45 at one meeting). More often than not, especially as the show's popularity grew, we would get a lot of stories that nobody had ever told beyond their close family (and sometimes not even to them). An easier question for me to ponder would be "What percentage of people who see a bigfoot go through the trouble of reporting it to a group or researcher?" For that question, I would speculate something close to 1 reported sighting for 100 actual sightings. This comes from not only working on Finding Bigfoot, but also from just living in Portland, OR. A quick check of the BFRO database tonight gave 7 published reports for Multnomah County (where I live), and 27 from Clackamas County (right next door, and where I do most of my bigfooting). That's 34 total. Over the last 9 or 10 years I've lived there, I've easily spoken to over 150 people in town who have shared their bigfoot stories with me, but have never reported it to a bigfoot nerd. Sure, many of them saw the bigfoots in WA, CA, CO, or elsewhere, but this gives us some feeling of how much people share with organizations or groups. It's safe to say that there are plenty of other people in the area who I have not run across that have seen or encountered bigfoots. I think 1 out of 100 is a safe guess... (But just a guess!) Hope this more or less answers your question! Thank you all for your positive words here online, and your smiles when I meet you face to face (as sometimes happens)! Cliff

After 9 years of intense interest in this topic, I still remain firmly entrenched in the "I want to believe camp." I am by no means a serious researcher, in the sense that I don't spend every weekend looking for them. However, I'm an avid outdoors-man and have been fortunate in that I've been able to travel in pursuit of my hobbies. I've spent significant time in Bigfoot areas and have never come close to finding any sign or evidence of their existence. I remain hopeful and will continue to keep my eyes open. This article if very well written and author makes some very legitimate points and he appears to have a good sense of what's going on in Bigfoot culture. The only reason I believe in the possibility of Bigfoot is simply because of the eye witness accounts. Some are so compelling that I can't discount them as being the result of an overactive imagination. However, its incredible we don't have DNA evidence and even more incredible that we don't have a ton of photos and/ or video by now. I don't buy into the belief that BF are aware of game cameras and are able to avoid them. If BF were such shy creatures then we'd have no witness reports and certainly not in the quantity we've been seeing lately. We have no legitimate evidence and that's very odd, considering the quantity of witness reports that occur on a daily basis. This puts me in an uncomfortable position as a "would be believer" as my emotional desire for them to be real is becoming overshadowed by the simple reality that we have no real evidence. So; where is the middle ground for those of us that have not had the privilege of seeing one in person? My only logical conclusion, that allows me to keep my hope alive, is that Bigfoot are not only elusive, they are extremely rare. Otherwise, it's hard to explain the lack of hard evidence. However, the belief they are very rare, tends to negate the volume of witness testimony. In short, It's getting harder and harder to find hope of their existence. I'll hold out for as long as possible but the old arguments and ideas just don't hold up to scrutiny. We either need an entire new approach or a body, by any means possible.
