Lets have a wide-spectrum look at the "marihuana" phenomenon, in order to know what went wrong and needs to be fixed, shall we?
In Nouvelle France the 1st man of the King happened to be also the 1st apothecary in Québec's history, which explain why our 1st "LP" chose Hydropothecary as their company name, later changed to Hexo. The 1st occurance of a ban goes back to our Pharmacy Act of 1890, more precisely the 2nd version of its "cédule" where "Indian hemp"/"Cannabis sativa L." got added to the "Liste des Poisons", euh... From Louis Hébert (1575-1627) to the Pharmacy Act update that's 1890 minus 1627 = roughly 263 years! Oh, well over 2½ centuries and when the "
DANGER" was finally interpreted as law, an exclusive provincial "compétance" later unilaterally transfered by liberal Henri-Sévérin Béland in 1923, by the way, euh... Well it seems rational at least to me to point out cannabis must have been very low priority in days when Public Health would have felt rustic, if it existed at all. Then boom! Politi¢ian$ found a perfect decoy, In The Name Of Children, who were strikingly absent in Geneva's 2nd Opium Convention of February 19th, 1925 - with canuck liberal senator Raoul Dandurand as president at the Leangue of Nations, husband of women rights activist Joséphine Marchand. Certainly highly "visible" in high-society as she owned and operated her own journal and hence quite probably noticed by Janey Canuck aka juvenile female juge Emily F. Murphy, decorated by King Georges, i think, with the Dames-of-Grace Cross of St-John-of-Jerusalem... Later celebrated with a postal stamp and our canadian 50 $ bills.
Euh...
It would have been easy enough for Canada's premier Justin Trudeau to cut the cord with such twisted past where cannabis got listed besides arsenic and cyanure in Québec, then nationally
BANNED «
A Mari Usque Ad Mare », while the alcohol indu$try continually extended its grip, the same with tobacco, even lotery... Yet some international treaty later disguised as 3 provided our endoctrinated Public Institutions power levers to perpetuate a war that couldn't be justified in justice courts today if it hadn't existed before, thanks to politi¢ian$ who made a fu$$ of something which before them proved to be a non-issue, basically.
Too bad politicization wasn't the last burst of madness meant to mesmerize the masses. Monetarization is one determining socio-toxic venom hurting populations today and it's like all groups gaining something from bigot victorian-age prohibition converge on the definition of « the thruth about cannabis », with those most involved just excluded the same as when we were supposed to participate to pseudo-con$ultations only intended to tighten the bigot$ grip.
So does it hurt past, present and future cannabis consumers not to rectify historical "errors"? Maybe you don't feel concerned as long as it give a satisfying « Buzz » but i can't personally make abstraction of such pile of crap while expecting more just next year, when both the FCTC/COP6 and Trudeau's "légaleezation" is due for a revision...
Observing a continued tendency to flush away central matters as complex PCP profiles for inhalation i can't but announce more crap to add up and hence yes it hurts but you won't know it at 1st.
At least learn to recognize dead spots on the radar and keep in mind politi¢ian$ can't resist revealing themselves by all those places where they obstinetly refuse to go. The same with LPs getting in charge while our SQdC state MONOPOLY has a former SAQ boss previously working for the alcohol indu$try! No wonder their mandate is interpreted so badly, the last product addition being infused beef though concentrations for edibles are just ridicule (because of filtration organs e.g. lower bio-availbility). Before and After comparison of Dry Flowers under a microscope is a strinking confirmation that haters promote further *
VILIFICATION* to the point of staying mute and beyond contemplative when toxic MONOPOLY effects are ever questioned. Health-Canada call critics « chemophobics », never mind about interactions except those vilifying a plant and/or its users, all considered deviant or sick, needing "help" or hating life, etc. yano! No big deal? Lets agree to disagree.
P.S.: I once had the soil, the sunlight and water accessible in some isolated spot whe i could have stood proudly in the middle of my personal home-grow, FREE OF MONETARIZATION PLEASE! 4 years later into « légaleezation» this beneficial prospect has been confiscated, for all practical purposes. Forbiding that i can wear an image on my t-shirts, never in view and no less than 9 meters from any door or window... Such sacrifice doing nothing it promissed at UNGASS 2016, quite on the opposite: there's Wax Pen in schools now it seems and of course the FCTC/COP6 didn't work on prevention of its nuisible effects.
So, absolutely yes. Wait to wake up! Who knows, perhpas we'll hear of polonium-210 (high-phosphate fertilizers) again!!
