Are you self-medicating?

Some people say
that all cannabis use
is medicinal.

Is that going too far?

What do you think?



Here are some
things to consider.



It has always been the case, for all species, and for all time, that
the earth
provides everything
an individual needs to prosper.

Whether that be abundant game for
African carnivores, daily
sunlight for trillions of plants, or fruit bearing trees, seeds and
vegetables for our selves.

Why would the earth not provide an ideal medicine
for many conditions which are common for humans? It would be illogical to
assume that such a thing is unlikely.



Cannabis
is effective in many ways. As a pain reliever,
and
an
appetite
stimulant, to
be sure. But it’s also a
bronchodilator
(as in it opens up the air passages in the lungs making
it easier to breathe) and
cannabinoids
have frequently been
demonstrated
to
have
a curative
effect
on several

different

forms

of
cancer.

This much is widely
known,
and is
the
main
impetus
behind
recent attempts to
make
this
herb

available
to
patients
in many

of

the

states

of

the

union.

But
there are

more studies
all
the
time
and
the known efficacy of
this
plant

continues
to
expand.

It
is demonstratively

effective

in
slowing
the progression of several
degenerative

conditions,
such
as

Alzheimer’s,

ALS,

and MS
to
name
only
a few.

It
kills the

MRSA
superbug.




For

thousands
of
years, cannabis has also been used
as
a mood elevator,

and as
a way of

relieving the
effects of stress.

Almost
any other substance used for this purpose, whether it be alcohol or prescription drugs or the recreational

variety, is
ultimately, toxic
in sufficient quantities.



Cannabis is the
safer alternative to all of these
things.

It is absolutely wrong
to continue the prohibition of cannabis.

It flys in the face of logic.
It runs counter
to the recommendations of just about every study of cannabis
prohibition that has ever been undertaken.

And it denies suffering people
access to something hugely beneficial to their well being.



In its present form, cannabis prohibition manifests itself
as a

racially

biased

war
on the poor.

Its effect
on poor communities, and minority
populations is
absolutely dire.
It
achieves no worthwhile
results. The number
of problem drug users in
the United States
continues to increase
despite
decades of
this expensive
and ugly war on freedom.

It is time to stand up and shout down any politician who continues to
support the present
arrangement, which works to the benefit of a very few at the expense of the
great many. It is
immoral,
and corrupted from
top to bottom.



Rise up. It
is time to end the
war.



Stop arresting
medical cannabis users.



Reschedule
cannabis so that researchers and scientists get a really good look at this
plant.



Good policy stems
from understanding. Willful ignorance is no foundation for anything.
