Why Hemp Must Be Legal
One of the greatest tragedies in mankind's history has been the late criminalization of hemp. I say late because for the majority of man's existence, hemp was not only unrestricted but colossally revered. However, due to misinformation and ignorance, many people see cannabis as a bad thing, which might not be added from the truth.
Nobody should be arrested for possessing cannabis, yet so many people are all hour. The fear that runs through someone's bedrock when they are in that kind of case should not be tolerated by anybody, yet some people believe that it is good to punish people for this. Do you believe you should be arrested, perplexed in to a police car, and fatigued of thousands of dollars for consumption alcohol or smoking a cigarette, both of which are factually colossally more dangerous than cannabis? If not, then why should one assume that lives should be besmirched for this?
The lies that the administration feeds us perpetuates the ignorance that cannabis is a dangerous substance. However, any astute person who looks at the real and chronological attestation can see that cannabis is not only not dangerous, but is really good for our health. In fact, consuming a light amount of cannabis on a automatic base has the same function as taking a vitamin.
One clue to the effectiveness of cannabis is the simple fact that people derive almighty relief from just smoking it. Isn't it amazing that smoking something is more effective to people than actual prescription medications? And the kicker is that cannabis reaches only a small part of its budding when smoked; the true power lies in extracts.
The best way to use cannabis medicinally is to attar the resins and attend them, forming a brunt documented as hemp oil. An consummate and easy ancestry clarify was urban by a man named Rick Simpson, who also used his application on hundreds of people with amazing success, even curing many cases of terminal cancer.
At the very least, if hemp was amply used industrially, then we would get some benefit from it. However, the oblivious United States administration lumps hemp both with feminine cannabis buds, and thus prevents us from utilizing it. This is very terrible, considering hemp is a absolute biofuel, staple food, and replacement for tree-based and petroleum-based products.
Knowing how beneficial and safe hemp is, it is absolutely cockeyed that it is illegal. When I see police officers imposing anybody for cannabis, or speaking negatively regarding it, it actually makes me angry, knowing that this ignorance promotes the unimaginable pain of millions of people. This is not a matter of, "We want to smoke cannabis." This is a matter of pleasure and pain, life and death, justice and destruction.
I agree 100%, you know and the audacity of this people still keeping it as a schedule one drug meanwhile they've held the patent for cannabis oil since the 90's where they state that it has over 200 medicinal values including curing cancer and other diseases, smh.....it is beyond baffling, but we are getting there, slowly but surely. I just made a review on the Holy Grail Kush not long ago...https://steemit.com/life/@alkamyst/holy-grail-kush-strain-review
I make high quality edibles also using RSO (Rick Simpson's Oil) and have helped several patients get rid of cancer over the last 10 years but the plant has no medicinal value according to the feds, go figure!
At this point in history there is no denying the medical benefits of marijuana. Compared to other illegal substances, marijuana is very safe to use even as a recreational drug. It's not highly addictive like opiates, and isn't involved in disorderly conduct, domestic violence or murder cases. Alcohol is legal and a majority of criminal cases listed above involve alcohol.
I have a few reasons I believe marijuana is not yet legal in many states for recreational purposes. First, marijuana usually slows cognitive responses. It can produce delayed response times. Perhaps the law for recreational marijuana should be treated as the laws for alcohol? The problem here is that someone under the influence of alcohol is easily detected. It's easy to smell on their breath and clothes. It's easy to see it in their eyes, and hear it in their speech. It's so easy to identify, within a few seconds your blood alcohol level can be reviled simply by blowing into a straw. The same is not true for marijuana. When or if accidents happen it's hard to tell if someone is under the influence. It's easy to conceal blood shot eyes and the smell on your clothing. Slurred speech isn't typically identified with marijuana use. As of now, there really isn't a sure fire way to detect marijuana use instantly or how high so to speak a person is.
Second, when drinking alcohol it can take a good amount of time to get intoxicated, drunk, or trashed. As a person is drinking the effects are gradual. The effects of marijuana are usually almost instant. For many people there really isn't a way for them to tell how hard the high is going to hit them. Of course the effects are different for everyone just as it is with alcohol, the effects of alcohol is more gradual.
Third, there hasn't been as big as an outcry as it took to get alcohol prohibition lifted. People who want marijuana legal need to push a little harder. Anyway, I might be ignorant just like others. These are just a few reasons I do not believe recreational marijuana use will not be legal any time soon. Feel free to educate me.
