Marijuana. Rant/ Facts.
Ok, some people are posting that it is a SIN to smoke this Herb. Yet, I cannot see how that is?
Reason #1: Their are over 100,000 deaths from Alcohol alone. Now, how many deaths are their from smoking Marijuana alone? ZERO. Absolutely zero reported cases of this.
Reason #2: How many cases have you heard of were people get drunk, go home then beat their wifes/kids. Tons, theirs endless reports. Now how many people have smoked weed, and then went home, and beat their wife? You haven't heard any stories of that now have you.
Reason #3: When you look at the facts of Cigarettes, and then Marijuana. You really start to think, why is Marijuana illegal, and Cigarettes are not?
Cigarettes are the number one killer in America, beating all stds, murder, poor health/obesity, Alcohol, Cocain, and Heroin combined. Yet, its still Legalized? Cigarettes are even farmed with Radioactive pesticides that are known to cause cancer! Yet, it is still legalized.
It has also been proven that Marijuana is NOT addictive. Of course if you do it daily, and then stop your going to notice some withdraws. If I eat Hamburgers everyday for 30 days and then try to stop, i'll of course feel some withdraws, should we outlaw hamburgers too?
Infact, the first Marijuana law was in 1619, and it ordered all farmers to GROW Marijuana!!
Marijuana is also hemp, and hemp was once Americas #1 source of paper back then. Thats right, it could be turned into paper.
It was also weaved up, and then made into shirts, jackets, and alot more other things back in the 16/17 hundreds. It was said, their was more than 20,000 uses for this plant.
But wait STaRR BoRNN, "Smoking Marijuana kills brain cells". Oh really? "Yeah it was proven". Do you know how the study was conducted? "No, but it was proven!"
Well, here if you watch me movie below you'll know exactly how that study was conducted.
"But wait, if you smoke Marijuana your not going to be successful."
Uhm, this is not true at all.
Every president that the United States has had, has admitted they have smoked Marijuana once in their life.
Every person from the Rolling Stones smokes Marijuana.
Lil Wayne Made all A's throughout Highschool, and he smoked Marijuana.
Willie Nelson is the face of country music, and he is a pot smoker.
Steve Jobs founded Apple, while smoking Marijuana. He use to smokes a joint a day!
"But what about Cheech Marin(guy from Cheech and Chong) look how he looked in all his movies, always useless, and stoned. Typical stoner."
No, he is not who he is made out to be in the movie. He is a very smart guy who made a movie about what the stereotypical stoner looked like in that day. And he made millions off of it.
Before you try and contradict me, I would like for you to watch THIS movie:
The title is "The Union". It gives the true facts about Marijuana, and tells the health facts of smoking Marijuana. It is an absolutely amazing movie, ans shows just how corrupted the Marijuana situation is.
Do I think Marijuana should be legalized? No I do not, if it were the government would control it, and it would also be taxed.
However I do think Marijuana should be decriminalized. Meaning if caught with it, you will not be charged with anything, and you would be free to grow it just like any other plant.

I didn't see how they did the testing in the trailer. I do remember one test where chimpanzees were subjected to marijuana smoke being streamed into their nostrils constantly for something like 20-24 hours in late 60's or early 70's. Smoke being streamed into your lungs, you can't get much oxygen...of course those poor chimps ended up with lost brain cells. I use CBD oil myself, I have MS and the pain is absolutely unbearable at times at it helps.
Do watch the full movies over here:
I couldn't remember exactly how it was done, but lack of oxygen was definitely the culprit...I have more damage to my brain cells from MS than a regular smoker.
Weed was outlawed by Dupont because they invented plastic to make rope with plastic and not hemp.So they took over the rope world with plastic. Hemp is actually stronger I believe but it's like our incandescent light bulbs being outlawed by Mr. All Gore so he can sell his fluorescent bulb that is trash and if you break one indoors the instructions say call hazmat.
Ya, Dupont also developed a way to get pulp from wood to make paper. Paper before then was made several ways including using Hemp....U.S. States Constitution for example. The other person involved although there was many was Ely Witney, the Cotton Jin inventor. They used Hemp to make clothes which was much more durable than cotton...this is why Civil War Uniforms are still pretty much intact 150 yrs later. My jeans will never last a fraction of that.
Anyhow, that is just what started the ball rolling on banning Marijuana. Now days private prisons and pharmaceuticals are whats keeping it illegal. No U.S. President is ever going to go down in the history books as being the person that legalized it either. Democrat or Republican, it's not gonna happen. The only way things will change is with a Supreme Court ruling. The only way that is gonna happen is if people fight it and the only people with the money and reason to fight it is the legalized pot industry. And those guys aren't going to lift a finger either because they control the industry as it stands. It's going to take some AG, DEA, or President to go after them in order to get them to act.
The key word here is "Sin." You go talking religion and anything is possible. Example, it's against my religion to go to bed before 12am and work weekends ;) Ok, all joking aside, i've already explained part of what would be needed to legalize pot.
Part Deux:
The solution is simple and the best thing, it's already happening! That is people vote to legalize marijuana. Over half the country has already voted for Medical Marijuana with another half dozen voting for recreational! Keep voting for it and supporting states that put it on the ballots!
PS: People really needs to consider reach across the aisle or party lines for help. Liberals and Libertarians in general support marijuana. You need to start asking for help from Conservatives. Do not, and I mean do not assume they are not willing to help. Conservatives are slowly coming around to the idea, so stop with the insults and act like adults.
Conservative and supporter for the legalization of Marijuana!
I got a fact: Marijuana is a schedule 1 "drug" along side heroin!! WTF? When something makes no sense at all, follow the money. Who's benefiting from all those poor people caught with a little marijuana? That's right, the privately owned and operated incarceration giants. Who started this atrocity? Bill Clinton horrific legacy "get though on crime." Guess who donated millions to Madam "super predators." Yup. You got it. IT'S ALL ABOUT GREED. Like everything else these days. WE are the ones we were waiting for. WE have to stand and say ENOUGH! Not by drinking the blue or red Kool-aid. Not by identity politics, but by taking care of each other. Buy stuff from your local grocer or farmer. Stop buying so much shit you don't need! Donate the stuff you don't wear, grow some food! Organize neighborhood help groups. No one else gives a damn. Wake up folks.
Well said ;)
I agree with your essential points, but I don't think that every President the US has had has admitted to using marijuana. Trump is adamant he hasn't. Many of the older ones we probably don't even have the documentation for.
Did you watch the video? If so, watch the movie when you have spare time. It backs up everything i've said in this steem. PS. The video is available on Netflix.
It's not a sin! It's better than alcohol but some people misuse it. I was one of them sadly and I had to quit. You can read more about that in one of my blogs! <3 love
Currently there are two many financial drawbacks to legalize pot. There is a strand of pot called "charlotts web" that I can see no reason why it is not legal (besides companies proteting there financial intrests) Find information on charlotts web (from what I hear it is ext to impossible to use to get high)
I don't know about names of any strains, but I know the state of GA legalized marijuana with almost no THC. They did not authorize any dispenseries. They have issued medical cards for certain conditions. Florida has open dispensaries. Bringing a legal script back across the state line is a crime, why bother get a medical card?
I have no doubt the medicinal value of marijuana would be beneficial to many. I have MS and often suffer pain (nerve, muscle and joint), nausea, migraine, vertigo, dizziness, and the list goes on. I was a pharmacy tech before MS.
I currently take 14 pills a day...14! Not one is a multivitamin. That is not the single Tylenol #3 that I am allowed to take for a migraine. I am allergic to all other migraine meds. I am currently not on a drug exclusively for MS, I have experienced horrible side effects and allergic reactions, the costs of these drugs??? $3,500-$7,000 per month and they are self injectable.
I do use CBD oil on occasion when the pain is unbearable or the insomnia is too much. It can be out of budget for someone on disability. Medical marijuana is something every state should allow and every insurance should cover.
I apologize, I will step off my soapbox.
Hello, yes, I agree with all. Do not want to know how is the situation of marijuana in African Cameroon. It is actually considered as witchcraft. Everyone who smokes it is a thief or assassin. It will take a while before this will change. Even though many Cameroonians smokes it and call it actually rightly medicine.
