Cannabis is an herb.
I thought this thread was about drugs?

Look, addiction comes to those who have unresolved issues in their lives. When people find something that greatly relieves their issues, chances are they're going to use it quite a bit. The danger with drugs are the physically addictive nature of them. Once the person takes care of the underlying issue, the need for the drug goes away. The physical dependence keeps them hooked.

Cannabis is not physically addictive and it's now being used in (sane) addiction centers to help treat addicts for real drugs. High CBD cannabis is turning out to be a lifesaver for a great many 'unrecoverable' addicts.

Personally, I'm a 45 year old, autistic, family man. Using cannabis at age 13 changed my life for the better. The piss poor education I received, from society and our govt, gave me a rough start with using it properly. I learned over time. Now I have access to strains that do not get me high or stoned, instead they help out while being a benefit instead.

Before, with prohibition cannabis, I was stuck with strains that made me so high it was difficult to function. I had to use significant amounts to reach that "I'm medicated properly" point. As the decades have passed, the amount I have to use is less (thank you for high potency cannabis! It's a "Good ThingTM") and the medicinal content is higher.

Now I get improved memory, attention span, mental clarity, mood control, anxiety control, reduced inflammation and pain, blood sugar/pressure regulation and more... without a single hint of inebriation. I feel good though and everyone around me appreciates my higher level of functionality. :)

So, if you're "Ok" with life, go read "Lead the Field" by Earl Nightengale and "Prometheus Rising" By Robert Anton Wilson and get ahead of the kids around you. Deal with cannabis later when the feds come to their senses and deregulate it. :)

Be good to yourself!

There's a whole new world coming.
