The same kind of thinking that prepares children for God with Santa Claus lets people believe cannabis is as dangerous as tobacco.
It’s a grim fact of life that the vast majority of humans are prone to blindly follow leadership. Further complicating matters, in males the capacity to dominate is governed by the capacity to deceive.
Thankfully, in females the capacity to lead is evenly distributed between those who are honest and those who can lie. But think of it, what greater power of persuasion can we exert than making people slaves out of fear based on a lie?
Cannabis is the most studied, medicinally active and industrially versatile plant on earth. This means it has enemies in almost every economic sector. Competition separates good and evil. Evil is a means to an end. Dominance.
And since the government lies as it claims such importance for sending a clear message, it’s left to a fraction of the 30% of critical autonomous thinkers to set the record straight.
So be it.

Single marijuana seeds from all the top seed banks.
The author makes a good point in that Cannabis probably IS the most studied plant etc, etc. He might do well to read these studies.
Cannabis is useful as a treatment for a great many things. So are opiates, but let’s not get confused into thinking that some good is ALL good. I’m not looking to dump on marijuana, obviously, but let’s be aware that you’re burning organic material and inhaling the byproducts of that reaction, and don’t start with me about vaporizers. When you get down to the cold, hard, unbiased facts you will find that marijuana carries health risks along with most of our other feel good habits. Alcohol is good for the liver in moderation. Tobacco is actually used to treat certain gastric conditions. There’s ups and downs to everything.
I am simply tired of people walking the street with some false sense of security that our beloved plant is “natural” and “harmless”. If you enjoy it then by all means continue to do so, but be educated about it and aware that this natural earth-born plant contains carcinogens and toxins, much like the tobacco you scoff at, which by the way, is also a natural earth-born plant. Perhaps it’s the fresh green color that is deceiving, but remember that pure cocaine and opium are also direct extracts from green plants.
But as I said, if you enjoy it, then go ahead, get high :) Just don’t get all high and mighty about it!
