The problem with medical cannabis
This country has a health care problem, and I mean that in the conceptual way.
I mean that the way we think about health care is messed up, and the entire system is falling apart because of it.
Let’s take a look at the word “medicinal” for a moment, and analyze what it means in the context of health care. The qualities of the medicine can vary wildly, as long as a doctor says they are ok. The difference between legal and illegal drugs in this country is determined by which drug dealers are calling the shots. Medical cannabis is a stupid concept, because all cannabis in medicinal, and always has been. The fact that some quack says it will help with your sleep issues doesn’t make cannabis any more medicinal than it was before. I hope you understand that my issue isn’t with medical cannabis, it’s with the concept of needing our governments permission before using a plant. If the government told us that roses were illegal, except when they say it’s okay, we would push back against that, and the same should be true for cannabis. Hemp and cannabis are naturally occurring plants in nature, with incredible health and utilitarian uses for humanity. I do not feel the government, or any governing body, has the right to control or regulate cannabis. Whether you believe in God or Mother Nature or whatever, that supreme being created cannabis for us to use and enjoy, and no human being has the right to change that! No if you’ll excuse me, it’s time to go get high.
