Cannabis Use
What’s with pot anyway?
What is all the ruckus about this plant? Why do people use it? Why don’ t people use it?
Interesting question to some and a dangerous question for others to consider since the paranoia in America is at an all time high as the enforcement and incarceration rates have sky-rocketed. Some argue that cannabis a dangerous and addictive drug while others disagree, including the scientific research community.
There is compelling evidence to suggest cannabis, one of the most benign substances on earth and compared to the soy bean, is healthy and helpful with a long history of use. Most people disagree with the propaganda that the American government spins and the hurtful prohibition of marijuana, in America and throughout the world. But still others ignorantly fight to continue with draconian drug laws that are ineffective and ruining many lives while funding gangs, violence and kids involvement much as alcohol prohibition did in the 1930’s in America. Why haven’t we learned from our failures with the history of prohibition?
Many not-for-profit groups like NORML, have fought prohibition and for the rights of marijuana users to reform marijuana laws. And individuals are making an impact in states like New Mexico, Oregon, and others including California where proposition 215 was passed at the will of the voters, allowing medical marijuana a chance to get to the people who need it without playing with the black market. Despite what the voters say - the will of the people - the DEA is stepping up enforcement of federal laws and busting dispensaries - displacing patients. Lobbyists from beer companies, pharmaceuticals, religious factions and others continue their mis-guided lobbies against marijuana.
The pro-pot activists are working to legalize, decriminilize, and demonstrate for the truth while the smokers and vaporizers are still using the drug while creating no harm to others. The lobbyists and Bible belters will continue fighting legalization efforts (although the Bible references cannabis multiple times and favorably at that).
Why do people use it?
Some people enjoy marijuana on a recreational basis and believe it’s a civil /personal right. Others use cannabis medicinally to ease pain (including peripheral neuropathy - a type of nerve damage), treat nausea, symptoms of M.S., Parkinson’s disease, A.D.D., stomach ailments/disorders, eye ailments/disorders and the list continues on and on. The Mayo Clinic suggests a conservative approach to medicinal use. And some use marijuana religiously and / or spiritually such as Rastafarian’s. Historically, reefer has been used by people for the above reasons and hemp utilized for thousands of years for many purposes.
Why don’t people use it?
Some may opt not to use marijuana because they don’t enjoy it. Others may find it doesn’t work medicinally for them. Everybody reacts differently to drugs and anything ingested. Another disgraceful reason is fear - the scared and paranoid America. So much anti-drug propaganda has imposed a hideous culture of fear and America has spread this around the globe over the last 60 years. Mis-information, or propaganda has led to ignorance, intolerance and hatred.
Should I use mary-jane?
Cannabis provides clear medical benefits for HIV patients among others. We know it’s a safe drug, especially when methods such as using a vaporizer or eating cooked goods are utilized as opposed to smoking. Although cancer and other respiratory effects are associated with cannabis smoking, there is no doubt that smoking anything is bad for our lungs and harm reduction, in an ironic twist, is a buzzword in a health-conscious cannabis consumer market.
One’s age, addictive nature and personal situation should also play a role in deciding whether or not to use cannabis sativa, or indica. Most people feel that an adult over the age of 18 whom goes to war for his/her country, can purchase beer or cigarettes in many states and is otherwise a law-abiding and responsible person should have the right to use marijuana. A child under 18 shouldn’t have that same right, although if there was a drug they could safely investigate for serious ailments, this drug should be considered. There are children with medical marijuana cards who claim (along with parents, teachers and others) that it’s the only relief they’ve found for their illness. Many of whom would otherwise be on narcotics and living in the foggy, groggy one-size-fits-all pharmaceuticals (and then detox centers) to stay kind of well.
That’s what all the ruckus is about.

Once it crosses the blood brain barrier THC attatches itself to a receptor site that will not accept any other chemical so why did god give us this receptor site? Pot has good medical uses but the CIA brings it in along with other drugs to fund the government and enslave the population using it by throwing them into prison for ever and pimping them out to Whachenhut which makes me mad. Alcohol and tobacco will kill you faster but for now keeping pot illegal is way more profitable for the poweres that be who allso profit off of sickness and do not want to legalize much of anything that will cure you. Especially if you can make it yourself.
