I'm reminded of Animal Farm; "Everyone is equal, except some are more equal than others." How can so many of us be fooled into such ignorance, let alone allow it to control our lives and very essence of, not only who we are, but how we treat the rest of humanity? Life is freedom for every living being and element. Evolution should be the only thing determining what should be eliminated and what should not. But I digress, this is about a specific creation (by whatever god you want); Cannabis.
There's really not much to say if you already know the truth, and with all the information available there shouldn't be one being alive who doesn't know it already. However, many of you find it easier to hold fast to the propaganda you've been brainwashed with; whether it be political gain, racial, or capitalist (DuPont, Hearst, Rockefeller and the FDA, to name a few players of the many for why Cannabis is illegal). What makes the whole thing sad about these folks is that they allow the perpetuation of myth and lies and, in all honesty, zero advancement for much of the worlds problems. Nevertheless, I won't go into the history or culture of Marijuana (it's a proper name, by the way, Mr. Phelps. I know you may be un-a-ma-educated, but, come on, that's first grade grammar).
I speak because of recent events, as a citizen of Washington State and an MMJ cardholder, that the strong-arming by the Federal Government is a crime. A landmark bill for our Medical Marijuana laws passed both the State House and State Senate. The Federal Government said if the Governor didn't veto it, our state would, basically, be found in treason of the Federal Government. I only have to ask, why the change of heart, Mr. President (you can YouTube many pro-Marijuana stances by him)? You've stated many times how those states with Medical Marijuana laws will not be harassed by your goons. Is this the same reason you won't federally recognize gay marriage? Do we not have the rights to live our lives freely, harming no one, as we see fit? You allow the crazy Christians to run amok, truly damaging society. Yet what continues to be propagated as the most damaging substance could actually be one of the most beneficial.
When I got my license for Medical Marijuana it was for chronic back pain (stemming from a car accident) and migraines (where "traditional" medications either exacerbated the condition or made me sick elsewhere in my body). These are a couple of the only "allowable by law" conditions. However; I have an incurable virus. At least monthly, I'd take antibiotics that would be, at least slightly, miserable. What I started doing was "chewing" a few buds just for the pain. I noticed the problems eased much quicker. Slowly, I was only needing the antibiotics once every other month, then longer stretches of time. I talked to my licensing doctor and he explained that yes, Marijuana is both an anti-bacterial and anti-viral which has been shown to fight viruses in the body or put things into a sort of stasis (if not, as in several cases, "cure" the condition entirely). But these are not "legal" reasons for obtaining a license. These days, I rarely have a migraine and only have a prescription of antibiotics on hand "just in case" (but have never had to use them).
But this is only me. One person. I am saddened for the numerous people it could help but who are either too ignorant to be objective or who will never be told the truth. If you want to believe in a god then you have to believe everyone and everything is here because of it. Why would such a beneficial plant (for more reasons than mere medical) be so threatening to you? Think, people.
To analogize this, I would use it as "The Tree of Knowledge". Take what meaning you will from that, just know that knowledge is not evil. In fact, it can very well be a blessing.
