Hi.
Got your attention? Good.
There seems to be some sort of illusion going on in the Cannabis consuming society.
I´ve met quite a few people myself that seem to think that Cannabis is absolutely harmless while the same people seem to know very little about how the Cannabionoids actually work and even less about the side effects.
Im not an expert myself by any means and I do consider myself an cannabis enthusiast as its my DOC, I use it for medicinal reasons too and its my favorite plant but I dont consider it harmless. After all, not much in this world is harmless and Cannabis certainly aint one of them.
It pisses me off when I hear or read these people defending Cannabis in the public ´cause most of them are doing the legalization process more harm than good. Instead of giving an nuanced picture of the plant that people can relate to and understand, they come off as if the plant has no side effects, cures cancer just like that and that it aint addictive in any way but frankly, anything can be addicting.
The argument of Cannabis vs alcohol and tobacco always comes up in these kinds of discussions and I can see why ´cause the laws in most countrys sure aint fair or based on neihter science nor common sense, but if you think that alcohol and tobacco are the devil no matter what while Cannabis is harmless, well then thats just being ignorant and people who dont use the plant and are against it based on common misconceptions that they have picked up from the corporate media, sure as hell wont take that nonsens for anything else than bullshit.
Stoners running around and talking shit wont solve a got damn thing and if we only talk about the postive sides of this plant, when we are no better than the media, politicians and doctors who only seem to talk about the negatives.
We need to get a more nuanced and realistic picture of this plant out to the public.
Why this thread on bluelight? Shouldnt Bluelighters know better? Well, I think that most of them do, so this is not an attack on you guys/gals by any means. The people Im talking about aint the ones who goes online and do some serious reseach before opening their mouth ´cause those who do would know about both the positive and negative sides of this plant.
Personally, I think that then you stack the positives and negatives up against each other then Cannabis will come out as one of the safest drugs known to man.
Tolerance development is nothing compared to most other drugs. The withdrawls are nothing compared to most drugs.
You can still get pretty high even if you use it everyday and the medicinal properties are wide and effective.
Yet, none of the above equals harmless.
I just needed to vent as this really pisses me off and also to start some debate about it.
Do you experience the same as me when it comes to your friends talking about this plant? Or am I the only one surrounded by these ignorant deepshits who, btw, also seems to be very big on illuminati which in most cases has absolutely nothing to it.
(I had a pretty hard time explaining this the way I wanted to so it came off a little confusing. I hope you get what I mean and if not, I will try to answer any questions regarding my view on this topic)
