Cannabis legislation / legalization

[Dawn]

This has been posted on another thread, but is is worth re-posting here. The truth is that marijuana is a 100% effective cancer cure. And the sad thing that it is illegal. Considering that close to 50% of the population dies of cancer this is very important information. In case you are unaware of this please spend some time viewing this well done video:

Does anyone know where to get a supply? It cannot be made from hemp seed for it to work. It has to be extracted from the bud.

And, yes, this is a brilliant video. Shows how to process it.

I dislike pot. But I hate the prison industrial complex. Its good to hear something sane happened for a change. I love justice. I am so disgusted by the so called war on drugs I could scream.

From my POV and experience, the single biggest drug which causes the most problems head and shoulders above any other is..........Alcohol (surprise, surprise)

Maybe they would have written some even greater books without drugs, who knows?

My point is that you can achieve those things without taking drugs-I just say from my own experiences.
I smoked pot, I drank alcohol, ate mushrooms-I know about the drug induced sensations.
But at the end you can do it without taking drugs.
And yes, that what drugs are doing-making a strong minded man from a person who is not like that.

Some people, despite the effects of drugs, are highly-functioning beings.

Not everyone fits the convenient "lazy stoner" stereotype.

Your POV and experience is also backed by research and publication, it is a fact. I am not able to provide references as I no longer have an athens authorisation but anyone who has can find this. Speaks volumes doesn't it.

I love it! People took a stand and changed this man's possible future.

Spirituality and action in balance can make a major difference in this world. One without the other is futile...but together, in balance, are powerful.

i dont have much to add that hasn't been said already but as far as the addictive qualities go, of course there are going to be those people that have an destructive addiction to it. but theres other things that are legal that are possibly more destructive that people are addicted to. alcohol, cigerettes, sex, food.

i think our court systems would be better to focus on more dangerous criminals instead of a 17 year old that got caught with a few buds of weed. Or even the major dealers.

I was addicted to food for many years. I finally found a way to get my health back so it's a HUGE change from the past 3 months when I started on my journey.

The Dutch drugs policy is probably one of the best things of the country I happened to be born in. It decriminalizes the users of cannabis and in The Netherlands the actual use of drugs is a lot less than in the countries that have strict drug rules and laws. It is probably much more exciting to use when it is forbidden by law.

Dutch drug policies do not increase marijuana use, study finds

May this become the norm and let common sense prevail.While i dont indulge in the plant myself i still feel a grave injustice has been done to it.

The cats been out of the bag on marijuana for a very long time and now there is a plethera of scientific evidence to back up whats been known for centuries,that its is healing and benificial.

I mean counterbalance it off what alchohol or synthetic drugs do to people,The only crime in regards to this wonderful plant is that its not been decriminalised across the globe so that we can truley tap ''back'' into its healing properties and put it back where it belongs among the great herbs.

Tahnks for the vid.

I am not the person who says...lets abandon drugs,
But there is a risk that you can get addicted from the effects that drugs are creating.

It doesnt matter if you are rich or poor-under stress you are looking for a relieve.
Some do sports or do yoga or whatever...
Alcohol and weed are also common methodes to "escape" from, yes the real world I think.

I have seen people "wasting" their lives with smoking pot everyday and dont do anything.
Up to the point where they got paranoid and had anxiety attacks.

Sometimes they created a second image of themselves:
The real and the drunk/high

At the end it is all about the responsible use of light drugs...but I think it disturbes our growth!


Smoking pot for spiritual purpose?
There are natural ways to do it

Just like sex, drug use is more often than not perverted from a spiritual enhancement to a gutteral/base enjoyment..


No restriction to anything I say... personal responsability for all!


& FYI Marijuana is a SLANG term used originaly in mexico.. it was used for Cannabis as a propiganda term... lets not further the propiganda and refer to the plant by its proper (shortend) name.. Cannabis.

And let's not forget to add that +200,000 American die every single year from "legal" drugs prescribed legitimately by doctors (Big Pharma works hard to prevent the sheep from knowing these stats). I think the stats on pot killing people per year is around zero.

I'd say the biggest drug problem is Opiates (almost all perscribed drugs are opiates), second being alcohol.. more proof that externalizing your power only causes grief and angst... everything we try to regulate to "keep us safe" comes back to bite "us". (though honestly I think those types of lines are just justification for an action that was done for other reasons... in the case of drugs: blocking a spiritual door & creating a huge profit center while preverting that "spiritual gateway" to a base enjoyment. )

"...might induce short term memory loss, but only while you're high"

This really made me giggle. Anyone else remember writing down "the most amazing idea ever", and then spending hours the next day trying to decipher what the heck you wrote down?

Seriously though, going to high school in the 70's, more people than not smoked pot. I would chose getting high over drinking. It did not turn me to harder drugs, I don't smoke cigarettes and seldom drink alcohol.

I don't know anyone who is addicted to marijuana, but plenty who are addicted to alcohol and cigarettes. Still marijuana is illegal, while alcohol and cigarettes are completely legal. I find that so frustratingly hypocritcal.

The amount of bud Rick uses would be prohibitively expensive to purchase for making your own hemp oil, and the majority of 'street' weed has high levels of chemical also... 'Street' Hash or oil will aslo be far less pure that what Rick makes... You ONLY want the THC... THC makes you 'High'... there are other active ingredients that make you 'stoned' or drowsy.
Rick also recommends using a particular strain... 'Sativa'??? i cant remember...rofl

buds will form on the plant in winter, once there is less than 12 hours of daylight... remember hemp is a tree, and will grow to 10-12 foot in under 9 months.
each plant will produce 1-2 pounds of bud per season.

Grow your own organically... seed can be had from most stoners, or if you cant find one, you can order seed online, though i wouldn't recommend having it delivered to your address.

I am also of the opinion that marijuana was made illegal to popularize it. There was only a few Mexicans smoking pot before it was made illegal... after... well....

It does interfere with brain development in early teens....

When was the last time you saw a 15 year old with a Valium habit???
