Also insane that LSD is schedule 1 too actually. Wikipedia: Addiction liability: none, Dependence liability: low. Yet can profoundly changes lives for the better.
In essentially every measurable way, cannabis is orders of magnitude more healthy than alcohol. Even if you just want to get high, there should be no law prohibiting it in a jurisdiction where you can legally get drunk.
Cannabis= homeostasis … beauty of cannabis medicine is there is no doctor needed. You find what is best for you by trying it for yourself. The proof is in the pudding. Eating oil is the way to go for pain, insomnia, appetite, migraine, muscle spasms, etc,. It’s all in the dosing.🎯
Cannabis has regulated my alcoholism. I used to get anxiety in social situations with weed. Now I’ve gotten used to it. I can have one beer, smoke a little weed, and my cravings for more alcohol are cut OFF. I’ve gone to 30-35 beers every time I drank, to 0-2 maximum. Thank you Cannabis weed marijuana!!!
It’s not that you can’t take your medicine across state lines – you can’t take your body – (sound familiar, ladies) – if you travel from a medically legal state – say Arizona – and you get into an accident 2 weeks later in Tennessee – which happens to be a “per se” state – which means that ANY amount of THC in your bloodstream and you are at fault for the accident –
Enjoy traveling through Tennessee – and the rest of the “illegal” states –
In other positive scientific news, NASA and researchers from the University of Leeds reported in a September 24 article in Geophysical Research Letters, “Given the absence of high Arctic ozone since the 1970s, the March 2024 record high levels should be considered a positive harbinger of the future.” Remember when researchers had their panties and a twist years ago about a, ‘hole in the ozone layer’? Now apparently now that hole has been filled.
Me personally,….I am a "creative". I am an artist, and weed always opened my mind to new ideas and ways of thinking. It sparked my creative juices like nothing else. Booze never worked for that. Coffee never worked for that, or tobacco. My last job, at an "art factory",…..they doled out weed to the employees. ( even though it was an illegal substance) It kept everyone happy and relieved boredom. We did repetitive creative activities. There are still jobs that have to be done by hand. Sure robots can do most things,…..but some tasks require a "creative touch". I worked at a really specialized, custom wall coverings company. Hand painted wall paper, an item that only the extremely wealthy folk can afford. Humans still want things that other humans did with their hands. The craft sales market is huge. People go to craft shows,…not piddly shit,…..but highly unique and highly creative hand crafted original items.
Weed was illegal from when I was 17, until I was 69. I was able to find it and buy it on the black market, for all those years. Now there is a dispensary less than a block from my house. For the win!
They finally made weed available & legal for sale to the the adult public, in many states. Ohio just made it available,….I can buy it at a store. I don't have to resort to the underground, ( black market) purchases. Although I am not (losing) my dealer's phone number,…..in case they make it illegal again.
Weed was most helpful at turning boring repetitive activities into something tolerable. I worked in factories where we did mindless physical activities over and over. Before robots, ,…..humans sorted bolts, folded card board, sorted mail and papers by hand, one at a time, until your brain wanted to explode. Smoking weed turned boring jobs into, way less boring jobs. In the 1970s and 80s, I worked in 'light industry",….boring repetitive hand skill jobs,……..and I had two college degrees! If you need a job, you take them. Most jobs I was over educated for, but I needed to pay the rent.
Geesh! Its about freaking time!! You damned doctors were SO reluctant to look into it and demonized it for far too long! AND GUESS WHAT? Now there are people looking into micro-dosing LSD, and in fact LSD therapy is a "thing",…too! My doctors were so absolutely against the possibility of its benefits. I was afraid to tell my doctors I used weed, for many years,….for more than 50 years. My family just about disowned me because I smoked weed. It never stopped me from doing anything,…..I never crashed my car or beat some one up while I was on it,…it was far safer than drinking alcohol. It didn't ruin my life or prevent me from achieving my dreams. Up to the bitter end,….Doctors refused to accept that it had any benefit, and fought against it for my entire life. I recall my own mother's Cancer treatments benefitted from smoking weed during her chemo-therapy. They helped her regain her desire too eat food,…as the Cancer drugs made her sick to her stomach, and destroyed her appetite. I think you Docs need to find a way to make Morphine, a less addicting drug. When I have been given Morphine for surgeries, I feel renewed, and younger and nimble and I have physical mobility without pain.
Funny it was illegal and alot of people have done long prison sentences for this all natural plant.We were always told how bad it was and had a DARE program at school and dont forget it was the (gateway drug).. Well now that the government has found its way into making billions and billions of dollars off of taxing it its now all the sudden fine to buy and use..This exact thing happened with gambling..Double standard and proves that this country is all about that almighty debt dollar.
Gupta, you helped to support the continued demonization of THC presenting CBD as the only acceptable component so many places sell only the trash invented to satisfy this ganjaphobic nonsense. Real, natural cannabis is still illegal or over regulated and taxed. Deschedulize it.
A much maligned plant. Not just good for physical ailments (pain, spasm, nausea, appetite, sleep, etc), but also some psychological ones. So glad the paradigm is finally changing!
It's funny how the DEA can "emergency schedule" things for 90 days immediately, but it takes over six months to undo an error — the error of Nixon insisting it be schedule I in spite of his advisors. Apparently a hippie frightened him.
Nixon empowered the southern racists to crack heads on blacks who had smoked for years and got there racist votes, and legalizing 18yr old drinking helped too. He criminalized the hippies, peace movement and blacks. I hated that man in 73 – i knew then he was a crook.
Nixon started his war on Cannabis when he arbitrarily made it a schedule 1 drug. Gerald Ford should have immediately rescheduled it to the same as aspirin. We have paid a huge price because of presidential racism, hate and incompetence.

Pot is for losers. Stay away from drinking, smoking and drugs.
The film Reefer Madness had a huge impact on the stigma
Cannabis allows me to take a lesser part in the pharma/economic/military/industrial complex.

Get baked, Sanjay.
200,000 people were arrested last year for cannabis. Most were for possession. It isn’t a new era.
A much maligned plant. Not just good for physical ailments (pain, spasm, nausea, appetite, sleep, etc), but also some psychological ones. So glad the paradigm is finally changing!
Quack
Cannabis should be descheduled entirely, but nobody is going to read this comment because Gupta went on Joe Rogan and ruined his career during covid.
Please change that jump-scare photo. Thanks. (I have PTSD)

Good work keep it up. I think it was added to schedule 1 so Richard Nixon could lock up young African American men
Nixon empowered the southern racists to crack heads on blacks who had smoked for years and got there racist votes, and legalizing 18yr old drinking helped too. He criminalized the hippies, peace movement and blacks. I hated that man in 73 – i knew then he was a crook.

I have used pot for PTSD for 10 years, it's remarkable.
