Serapis interpreted most of what I had wanted to convey but also I was trying to point out this (above underlined quote). Marijuana is no "magical plant" it has cannabinoids present in it as a self-defense mechanism to protect it's most vital part of existence, the ovaries (Buds). San Pedro, Peruvian Torch, Peyote, Psilocybe & Amanita Mushrooms, Datura, Morning Glory seeds and various plants used in the Ayahuasca brew all contain psychoactive chemicals which are/were treated as holistic medicines around the world... marijuana is not some selective plant we were meant to live in a symbiotic relationship with. Also marijuana produces side effects from chronic use as well, now its not like going into a seizure from not taking your benzos but negative side effects can/do occur. The problem with most psychoactive medication in general is that the positive effects of it are derived from the "negative effects" of intoxication, an since marijuana has a less subtle intoxicating feeling compared to low doses of benzos and narcotics it is seen more as just a recreational drug. I have panic attacks and alcohol helps me way more than xanax does but it also impairs me more which is the reason why I can't bring a bottle of grey goose and a shot glass to ease my stress at work and than tell my boss "Uh... I'm taking my medication...". My summary of what I am trying to convey to all of you is, Stop viewing marijuana on a political level and from just your ethical and moral views; start seeing it and the drugs produced by the "evil" pharmaceutical corporations on a pharmacological level . I have absolutely nothing against marijuana or its users whether they're using it for medical or recreational purposes... I do have a problem with ignorance and arrogance (MMJ card flaunting) though.Wake the fuck up and stop talking shit about our magic plant of health and knowledge. We need you on the team! You're already here, pick a number and put yer fuckin jersey on!
