RE: Drug War Stupidity: Cannabis Potency Hysteria
Thank you. I am glad someone is reading this stuff lol.
I really hope to plant the seed (if you will forgive the pun) that grows into a desire in others to try to educate people in this same way.
Haha! I love puns dude! I'm one of your followers. I make it a point to read the people I follow, because I only follow quality shit !
You have some blogger talent going on, keep up the great work!
Don't worry too much, the word is getting around. Once the greedy politicians figure out how to make all the money flow their way, it will be legal for recreational use everywhere. Just a matter of time..
Haha thank you. I actually went to school to write but life happened and all that so I kind of forgot I had that training. I am super rusty but its starting to come back.
I appricate you reading.
Yeah, things are better for sure. I remember how it was when I was in high school. there were still a lot of true believers "teaching" us about drugs. One of them once said that people smoke LSD which is pretty dumb...Come to think of it, she said a bunch of dumb stuff because she also insisted that one could get pregnant from butt sex lol.
Its going on the right direction we just need to keep working at it.
I wonder if we are in the same age group? I remember some of this rhetoric LOL.
Well I have a clear memory of the 1990's so that probably makes me a little older than a lot of people that I see on this site but not much.
Well I'm in my early 30's so we probably aren't too far apart. :)
Thats pretty close. Lol
mh, a filled page with actual content thats not made up out of 50% banners, curlies, @someone-tags and what not is somewhat hard to come by, one thats actually written in self-written language even harder to come by than a post that doesnt go "thisbot upvoted you for 0.2% vp holding up the network by itself casting 200 votes a day that net nothing of worth" lol
as for the article @artisticscreech , i'm not at home in the american moral majority rhetoric but i can think its probably close to the same ... "dreughs is baed" you would get everywhere ... here, for a country that sells beer on every corner from 16 years up you'd think they wouldnt stop a kid with a joint, alas police is left in a grey zone so in a small town like this the kid will get a perma-stain on his record for toking a few puffs when caught while 25km further in ghent or brussels the cops are too busy with actual crime and violence they wont even bother to stop if someone sits smoking on the side of the road so to speak.
That said id like to say i do believe the balance of THC/CBD is a critical factor in causing psychosis for people who smoke too much and for kids who start to young ... which doesnt mean it will, but the statistical chance that it could increases, those are the numbers i know. And i think its the same for anyone who ab-uses , not uses any psychoactive substance (that includes alcohol, and im not a muslim btw, if anything id be a polytheist agnostic who doesnt believe in gods who care but until i see one the box is closed and its Schroedingers problem wether they exist or not, the sheer fact that it has not been proven however is not enough for my chemical scumness to assume it isnt there)
and here i go off-topic again ... which euhm where was i ?
is what any politician or lobby would do on either side of any debate : lift then numbers from a statistic out of context and use half a sentence from "an expert" here and half another there to get a collage that spells exactly what they've been proclaiming.
This kind of ping pong, i do agree gets no one anywhere . I probably already said i have smoked for about 14 years myself, daily, and i have known many peope who have smoked since and still are, working people, daddies and mommies who probably are telling their kids not to before they put them to bed right now ...
the only problem is ab-use and irresponsiblity and the biggest enemies are fear and ignorance
the usual i guess ... same old song on the radio , the radio might be an iThing with a brandnew skin but it plays the same song
over and over
now then, before i banner out the meaning of the words ... this is the steemit part i like best, fact that im not making a thousand every month hasnt bothered me so far. The only thing that has was people telling me what i couldnt post and say in the beginning but they back off in the end :D
bubble universes and diverse opinion, perspective and point of view and topics and content hard to find on fudbook hahah
see you around
Thank you. And thanks for respondind with something interesting as always.
I agree that abuse can be a problem for the individual but I believe that the freedom of everyone in society outweighs the problem of an individual.
The truth is, any kind of freedom bares some danger with it but the question is whether we believe that danger is a fair price for it. If, for example, all speech is ok then a person may say something stupid and make an outcast of himself but protecting him is not a valid reason to limit your speech or mine. Judging from what your page says I suspect we would largely agree on these types of issues. In my mind, freedom has more value than safety and as a result my own ethical/moral code requires me to oppose any trasspass against that freedom.
"Just a matter of time." Since 1937? How many years is that: 81? Hell, it's been 47 years since the beginning of the War on Drugs. Greedy politicians take a long time to figure out things, huh.
Well...You do have a point, and I would say yes, they do take forever to figure things out, but hopefully they will figure it out within our lifetime right? lol
