RE: DISJOINTED Takes Impartial, Long-Time-Coming Look at Medical Cannabis
Wow :) I really appreciate you taking the time to make such a well put-together response. Those are all great observations. Sorry for using the M-word ;) I kind of need to use both words, as I work in the MMJ industry.
I see the effects of all that propaganda every day in my first-time customers. But fortunately, I also see all the good that the industry is doing for veterans, recovering alcoholics and addicts, people with depression/anxiety, cancer, etc. and it makes me really happy. We're on the right track.
Thanks so much for reading and commenting :)
Pleasure's all mine, @chrisroberts. I'll give you a pass this once on the "M" word..haha
I just can't stand the word because it's was designed to demonize the plant, the cannabis plant. Have you ever read Jack Herer's book The Emperor Wears No Clothes by any chance? That makes it hard to comprehend how a medical industry could adopt such a word. The origination of the word was propaganda to evoke fear and provoke racism. Something that you'll notice in the laws - they seldom use the actual plant name; cannabis. Ever wonder why?
I think your work, regardless of whatever name we call this incredible plant, is absolutely essential to health and well being. It does help many people and is safer than any pharmaceutical garbage on the market, in my humble opinion. But... I don't have to tell you; you see it everyday! The future will be bright for this plant and I will be doing my part as soon as my state gets their shit together - or people vote the clowns out. Might have to move..LOL
