the phenomenon most of you are witnessing in this thread is the culmination of DECADES of brainwashing paid for by Big Pharm. You can pick out an occurrence wherein a person has an accident driving while plastered on alcohol. A drug screen will show marijuana and other pharmacological substances in the screen. Most stay in the bloodstream for three-four days. Marijuana can stay for MONTHS. Doesn't matter...guy blasted out of his gourd "was high on that marywanner!!!! It's weal weal baaaaaaaaddddddd!". The narrative has been established, as I said, for DECADES. The alcohol lobby pays MILLIONS into dissemination of this exact red herring to shift focus away from a substance, alcohol, that KILLS physically if overingested,is completely addictive and destroys familes ,lives and erodes society UNABATED AND UNCHECKED. "it's that illegal marywanner's fault. I heard it on NPR radio and they don't lie!!! Death to the marywannerers!!!"
Well, the kneejerk, submoronic decades long "marrywanner war!" is finally coming to an end. Those plugged into the matrix of Big Pharm/Big Oil/Military-Industrial Complex are jittery at the prospect of being found out as plain ol' run of the mill BIGOTS. Race, religion,income,marijuana...makes no difference. Bigotry is bigotry.
Do I use marijuana? As in smoke it to get high? No. Haven't since college.
Have I taken advantage of the medical marijuana law and got a card that allows me to procure CBD's? You're goddamned right I have. I'm in my sixties and I have constant pain in my joints related to arthritis and PAD. I stopped using alcohol in my early forties. I use NO pharmaceuticals that have been dropped on the market for pain relief since the Valium/Xanax/Percoset etc days. They are HIGHLY ADDICTIVE and ultimately USELESS concoctions IMO. CBD's are a Godsend for those of us in our so called "Golden Years". I can't begin to list all the people from all walks of life, including law enforcement, that have found the benefits of CBD's to be extremely effective. I eat a 10mg piece of candy whenever a weather front blows in and the barometer drops. I get a good 5/6 hours of NO PAIN in my joints. I experience ZERO negative effects that one associates with using marijuana. There is no high. There is no urge to binge eat. There is no altered perception.
We as a society should be EIGHT DECADES ahead in the pharmacological applications of marijuana. Instead we STILL battle the same old prejudices and bigotry being FOSTERED by oligarchies and parroted by an ignorant yet vocal growing minority of lemmings.
