Popular Post spidermike007 Posted May 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2023 The legalization of ganga may be the ONLY thing Anutin has ever gotten right, in his sorry political career. I don't like him. But, I think he was on the right track with this one. It is just getting with the times, and it represents progress, from the dinosaur clan. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many different cannabinoids and they work together in harmony. If you isolate THC without CBD for example, things get a bit out of balance. I have some good friends in the UK who've been very involved with this whole subject for decades. Which is the only reason I know so much about it. Every human has cannabinoid receptors in their brain. They only react to cannabis so why would they be there if we're not not meant to ingest the plant? If you believe in God, you should accept that he put all the plants here for us to eat. One of my friends eats only the leaves and seeds of cannabis plants for months at a time because he claims it's the ideal food for our health. Here's the link for anyone who's interested. http://freecannabis.net/cannabis-compendium/cannabis-a-dietary-essential/ And the rest of his story, in which he befriends Howard Marks http://freecannabis.net/contact-free/the-chronicles-of-cannabis/ 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the recreational view, then it is each to their own, I quit smoking ordinary cigarettes back in 1970 and I quit drinking 3 years ago, when I sat and worked out I was drinking about 3 to 4 bottles of Hong Thong a week. At 78 I really don't want to start anything unless I have to. I don’t know anyone who uses it recreationally. I guess many people self medicate. Some may end up abusing it. For example, someone who suffers overly from anxiety could benefit using a small amount of cannabis. Are they recreational users? In the same way, someone might take a small amount of alcohol to ‘settle the nerves’. Is that a recreational drinker? There will always be people who do things to excess. Should the people who need access to a natural medicine suffer because of the actions of a few? Personally, I bought some for a specific reason and now that problem is all but solved, the rest is just sitting there. Just like any other medicine in your cabinet. Can be useful from time to time, but you may need to take a course initially. Normal. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were all aboard on the family friendly tourism and high earning expat visitor train then they allow it to become a stoner destination. everyone knows higher class people don’t sit around getting stoned, with the exception of some rock stars. Are and families planning to brings their families to smoke weed or be around those who do? Do you like being in a resort where there are guys in dreadlocks sitting around the pool getting stoned? what are people doing in their rooms getting stoned? Utilizing the services of prostitutes? Does little Joey need to hear that or be exposed to that lower class of society? your father knew people who utilized alcohol and it was always a manly thing to do, even if it was not healthy. He also knew people who smoked, but he did not at all associate with that segment of society who smoked grass. What losers. Did they grow up and live in their mothers basements, become heroin addicts, live on welfare and food stamps? Did you end up there? Loser! What could you have achieved had you not succumbed to grass, the deadly weed. What kind of man did you leave behind in a puff of smoke and laughter? If only you listened to the film in family values class in high school you could have grown up to be a pillar of society, a doctor, architect or lawyer. Instead you got stoned in the bushes at lunchtime and became a loser student, and now your kids need a good example. Man up and change your ways, don’t let your kids take the same path! You won’t ever be your fathers man, but you can try to fake it, like your father did. Hey, the 1950's called. They want their opinions back. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess these people will just move on and find other ways to clean up their cash ( obtained from where they make the real money ie call centre investment scams, illegal gambling sites etc etc). You may need to be able to back up that accusation with something empirical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
