When we think about cannabis
or marijuana we mostly think about the joints or blunts that can be smoked. It
is in top four recreational drugs used in the world.
- Alcohol
- Caffeine
- Tobacco
- Cannabis or marijuana
Cannabis itself can’t be
called a drug as it has many other uses. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is a compound found in cannabis that is mainly responsible for its high-like effects.
It is a Psychoactive drug i.e. can change brain function, sense of reality,
perception and overall behavior. It induces a sense of relaxation and euphoria,
some people even experience heightened senses and reflexes.
History
of cannabis:
The earliest historical evidence
of cannabis use can be found in Greek historian’s manuscripts mentioning Eurasian
Nomads taking cannabis steam baths. Cannabis or marijuana has recreational, medicinal
and spiritual uses that date back to almost 5000 years. It is also used in
religious ceremonies in Shaman culture. Marijuana has always been controversial
in the US, the Mexicans brought Marijuana in mid 1500s. Better than other drugs.
Why
Cannabis is still illegal at Federal Level:
Why drugs like tobacco and
alcohol, that are proven to be death causing, are still legal and marijuana is
not? That is because marijuana makes you more open minded, accepting, loving,
calm and spiritual. It forces you to think about how your actions will affect
others, in ways that you would be incapable of, sober or even drunk. It makes
you more affectionate. 84% of people who smoked or consumed marijuana is any
other way, say they felt more relaxed and their hostility towards other humans
were almost diminished.
The government definitely doesn’t
want this world to be a better place, the awakened sense of soul searching
inside you, that marijuana causes will lead to harmony among all humans and that
is a big threat to the status quo and
that 3% of the population that controls 97% of us as they like to pit
humans against each other making us fight like animals, sowing hatred in our
hearts through their bans, laws, and rules.
Weed cures temper issues,
anxiety and depression. A simple drug curing so many of the problems means huge
loss for the pharmaceutical industry and they will not let cannabis get
legalized until they have found a way to completely control its production and
distribution and make billions out of it.
