And whats been mixed in it? For years we've heard cannabis is no good - I guess all natural products that cant be patent and is a cure will be dismissed as "bad". Check out the Queensland blushwood berry - 3 varieties - the one known to help cure cancer "illegal". Or how the gumby gumby study in Western Australian hospitals for decades - all of a sudden "all data lost" pfftttt. I'm sick to death of the negativity towards natural products that heals and kills big pharma. The quicker we can all grow it the better - some of us are sick of suffering.
The CBD aspect of that plant will typically alleviate many of those symptoms. Being grown in a lab some of these super potent strains are lacking the cbd component. In mother nature's true form the plant is almost perfect. It's a healer. When it's used properly for the right ailment, it saves lives.
CBD is more present in hemp...
Oxy bad, weed good
How could you possibly compare Cannabis to Opioids? From the start that is an unreasonable argument
I will remain a stubborn minorty on this issue until my last breath, but I'm not a fan of marijuana. My reasons are myriad, among them being fiercely allergic to it, but two instances stick out in my mind: 1) a very dear friend of mine who hardcore smoked pot for years due to peer pressure now believes this has permanently damaged her memory (I wouldn't doubt this. Possibly unrelated, but her speech sounds perpetually "high" now), and 2) my cousin who suffered a terrible psychotic break after intaking a huge amount of marijuana grown on his father's farm. He will never be able to live normally again.
CBD? I really think it can be healing, and is proving to have many health benefits.
The smoking stuff, though, is a public nuisance and has got to stop or be better filtered... Something. Do people really enjoy smelling like skunk?
And again, the best way for me to tell marijuana is no good (at least to me): the people who get really, well and truly angry at me for having this opinion/outlook. I understand this the least.
If everyone quit smoking weed right now, people would get in touch with their anger and the revolution will follow.
I like weed though
Oh, I can revolution on weed twice as good.
If Thomas Jefferson and George Washington can do it then so can we
...howls...
...420...

The argument that people need weed to suppress their anger is problematic
Lmao.
...I will stick with ice tea and cornbread.....
