Have an upvote. Weed smokers tend to make difficult any critical discussion of "God's most important plant medicine".
Dude they do get sooo defensive about it haha. I don't get it.
If someone is that sensitive about something then its probably not healthy for them and they dont want to aknowledged it.
The issue I have is the THC products are bred, cultivated, processed and consumed like a drug. Maximum THC, minimum CBD.
The CBD products are bred, cultivated, processed and consumed more like a medicine. Minimal THC, maximum CBD.
And no one is really trying to grow the 50/50 low potency plant that is infact natural and healthy and balanced, just not easily enjoyable. Good medicine is usually bitter -- if we want to actually talk about God's plants, God's plants as they are, are not nearly as conducive to addiction or disruption of users. Not like the modified shit we make.
Sometimes progress is not progress
People can drink as much as they want at whatever potency up to death. That's how it should be with weed. The difference is that weed won't take your life. The addiction potential is far lower, also.
Selective and vast breeding has made weed stronger along with modern cultivation methods. Plenty of organic growers out there.
I agree. I see no reason the government or science authority should have any place regulating the breeding, cultivation, processing and sale of the product as a drug or medication or anything at all. It should not be regulated. Never should have been in the first place. Giving institutions the power to regulate the cultivation of one's own land is wrong and anticompetitive if they intend to capitalize on regulated markets. They do it for profit. No other reason. Not for altruism, or moral imperative, or betterment of societal order.
The lack of profitability takes the cultural marketing out of society. No incentives. Grandma treating her arthritis pain so she can play with her grandkids is not the same patient as a college kid who has never felt real pain or consequence in their life toking up because she needs to feel socially accepted by the group.
Social consequences are another story. If I was a chief of a village 90% of the people I have met that smoke weed habitually would be banished to the wilderness as degenerates. The other 10% would be apothecaries.
