THE MOST INSANE WEED/MARIJUANA/GANJA/CANNABIS FIND SO FAR.!!
The Gold Mine Of Ganja..!!
Some people here do not know about marijuana. Officially the US federal government classifies it as a Schedule 1 drug. This is the most difficult classification they have, period. This means the government feels marijuana is more dangerous than Schedule 2 drugs such as cocaine or meth. This means that they think marijuana is very similar to heroin. In 2010, nearly 3,000 people died from heroin overdoses.
Schedule 1 |
Schedule 2 |
Do you know how many people died from overcoming marijuana directly? Zero. And I mean zero in 2020, I mean zero in human history as originally recorded. It is not wrong to say that it is a good idea to drink lumps of grass equal to pots. this. But notice what I did there. You listen all the time. This is what we call the "be sure" paragraph in the media business. This is the paragraph where we cover our asses. Almost everyone says the same.
Even those who think that legalizing marijuana is a great idea do not say that it is a good thing. The argument for legalizing pot is not that pot is good, but that the war on pot is bad. But there is a way in which the legal pot can be a major public health victory. I mean we have the biggest public health victory in decades, saving a large number of lives. Let's get back to that drug schedule. There is a drug you will not see there, even if it is a lot more dangerous than a pot or cocaine. He is an alcoholic. The thing about alcohol is it is really bad for you, fatal for you.
I don't want to be a hypocrite here. I enjoy a drink. But proof on this, you can't run away from it. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention says that there are 88,000 deaths each year due to alcohol. About 25,000 of them are only direct overdoses. The number here is truly amazing. A Columbia University study found that being drunk increases a fatal accident 13 times. Pot, by contrast, increases the risk by less than 2 times. Then all the other bad stuff there leads to alcohol. It has a major contribution to violence, crime, intoxication.
This causes a family breakdown. It gives cancer to people. This gives them a liver failure. People forget this but prohibition - we laugh at it but it was happening for a reason. People drank more than this and it was a crisis. So this is the question with the legal pot: will people use it as a replacement or as an alcohol supplement. If it's a replacement, it's a big deal. Marijuana is much safer than alcohol. People do not die from it. They rarely kill others on this. More marijuana and less alcohol mean fewer deaths from intoxication, less drunk driving fatalities, less crime, less violence.
But if marijuana is a supplement instead of replacing alcohol, it is a problem. If it makes people drink for more than any reason, then legalizing pot can actually make our alcohol problem worse. Now I'm going to say something that goes like this: We don't really know the answer here. Preliminary evidence is to be encouraged. In a survey of Canadian medical marijuana users, 41% said they replaced alcohol with marijuana. Another California survey of medical marijuana users found that they rank below the national average. But they are medical marijuana users.
They may differ from the general population. People who use marijuana for fun may have a much different relationship to alcohol than people who use marijuana because they are ill. But it is not just something that we can study, it is something that we can influence, that we can change. Since we know that many people want to use some kind of mind-altering substance, we can arrange a public policy towards keeping them safe.
But right now, we can't because the federal government, against all the evidence, thinks that marijuana is an incredibly dangerous, dangerous substance with no redemption value at all under any circumstances.
