1 in 3 Canadians smoke weed. It has more health benefits that alcohol ( well alcohol has none ). It doenst give you a headache in the morning, it cleans out your lungs, kills tumors, stops nausia, stimulates your appetite, helps people get off of harder drugs ( ie, my wife and perscription pain relievers ), relieves pain of arthritis, back pain, muscle spasms.. I could go on and on. Im a big advocate of the legalization of pot. It seems more and more people are beginning to understand that it has medicinal purposes and that it should be used as such. It also has a good recreational use as its not physically adictive. Mentally yes, but so is sex, sugar, and many other recreational activities and drugs. Some people believe that pot makes people psycotic, it doesnt. This is only the case if you already suffer these disorders, it just brings it out more. The fact of the matter is, our bodies are designed to smoke weed. We have what is called cannabinoid receptors that interact directly with the cannabis us users consume. For those of you who do not know, marijuana's real name is Cannabis. Not only is it good for healing and having a good time but it has many more uses. Fuel, rope ( it is the strongest natural resource in the world ), food ( the seeds contain more protien than soy ), paper ( pot grows faster than trees! ), and more that you could imagine.
As a pot smoker myself, I consider myself a part of the Cannabis Culture. I use for pain, for recreation, and I wont stop. I made a decision once to dedicate my life to teaching others about cannabis and dispelling myths brought about through the propoganda that has been around since the mid 30's. With political pot parties showing up all over the world, and countries beginning to get more liberal with there pot laws, it only makes my job much easier. All I ask is if you do not believe what I say above is true, do some research, read up, and learn that not everything they tell you in school is true. Innocent and sick people go to jail each year for possetion of this plant that god gave us that can not kill. You can not overdose on pot, and you do not turn into a crazed psycho killer.
Im currently working on a cannabis educational and information resource called
StonedMedia.com. If anyone here would like to contribute to this project, you are more than welcome to.
I will provide some more links here for people interested in getting more educated on Cannabis.
