Hepatitis C Support Group

Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

Happy Green Weekend to All or whatever color you're feeling except for Blue. Well unless you're feeling Roy G. Biv.

A little more easy to understand and makes me feel even more confident that moderate use of MJ is of no real concern.
