HOW DID IT COME TO BE STATED AS EVIL?
The entire chain of evil that began and continues to happen in many countries around marijuana was started by a certain former intelligence agent from Florida. By evil, I mean all the people who, over the 86 years of this paranoia, have been wrongly convicted, stigmatized, labeled junkies, sent to forced rehab, and committed many other abominations. Yes, only, but a whole lot more. For 86 years, cannabis has been under attack by a smear campaign, a smear campaign—let's be honest—now driven primarily by the unbridled greed of powerful corporations.
Late afternoon. Florida. 1933. Tampa police find five mutilated bodies in the Licata family home, their heads hacked off with an axe. Twenty-one-year-old Victor Licata sits in a chair. He's wearing clean, pressed clothes and seems unfazed. The previous night, he murdered his sleeping parents, two brothers, and a little sister.
The crime committed by a mentally ill man, as it turned out, would have gone down in history as one of the most horrific and brutal, but let's be honest, its memory wouldn't have survived almost 86 years worldwide if it weren't for the fact that it was used in the campaign against marijuana.
Harry Ansliger, a former intelligence agent, completely ignoring the fact that Victor Licata had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, publicly cited the fact that the young man had smoked marijuana (allegedly, by the way) as the primary reason for this young man's brutal crime.
Thus, Ansliger launched the most stupid, despicable, and unprecedented campaign against cannabis, cruel to millions of people worldwide.
5,000 YEARS OF HISTORY!
Yes, five thousand years. Humans have been benefiting from the useful and medicinal properties of cannabis for over 5,000 years! And since 1886, they've been trying to take it away from us... It's probably not even necessary to mention that this is madness.
Hemp seeds are edible.
The stems are used to make fibers—a typical garment of the ancient Greeks.
The Chinese have always used it to relieve pain.
In the Middle Ages, it revolutionized paper production.
A HECTARE OF HEMP PROVIDES AS MUCH RAW MATERIAL FOR PAPER AS 10 HECTARES OF TREES IN 20 YEARS.
In China, around 2800 BCE, hemp was used to make ropes—the strongest ropes, by the way.
Hemp ended the era of heavy knightly armor, thanks to the popularization of longbows, made possible thanks to long and sturdy hemp strings.
Thanks to sails woven from hemp fibers, it became possible for humans to conquer the oceans. This was impossible with a cotton sail, as it absorbed water too quickly and too much.
It became a staple of the New World economy in 1545, when Spanish settlers brought marijuana flowers and seeds.
In what is now the United States, it served as a means of payment for taxes for over 200 years.
The first printed Bibles were made on hemp paper, similar to the one used for the original version of the American Declaration of Independence! By the 1880s, hemp paper accounted for 90 percent of the market! How many trees survived thanks to this?
The paper produced from it does not yellow, is much more durable, and does not require bleaching. Books from the 15th century look brand new.
MARIJUANA SEEDS - FROM THIS, POTENTIAL GROWS!
Cannabis contains at least 113 cannabinoids—active substances potentially useful in medicine. So far, only two have been thoroughly studied, or at least as thoroughly as possible: THC and CBD.
Although cannabis was ostentatiously and blindly pushed from the medical world stage, contrary to logic, science, and reason, it failed. For several years now, this ancient plant has been making a comeback! It's coming back because it's foolish and wasteful to pretend it doesn't exist, doesn't heal, and doesn't have enormous economic and medical potential.
MARIJUANA VS ALCOHOL.
What's more poisonous?
That's actually the wrong question, because marijuana will never be poisonous in the same way that alcohol is poisonous.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2017 alone, over 35,000 people died in the U.S. from alcohol-related illnesses. This figure doesn't include victims of drunken criminals or those killed by drunk drivers, so the number is actually much higher. Marijuana overdose cases: ZERO. Damn, zero, the paranoia is palpable that alcohol isn't the stigmatized drug that wreaks havoc, death, and other tragedies.
Experts, scientists, basically no one argues anymore that marijuana isn't a deadly drug, but rather a hope for many sick people and a comfort for many afflicted.
PRESCRIPTION CANNABIS
Since January 17, 2019, medical marijuana has been available in Polish pharmacies. The herb is imported from abroad (another paranoia – instead of developing our own market, we're making money with imports). It costs around 70 złoty per gram at the pharmacy. It's not reimbursed by the National Health Fund (NFZ). (The NFZ has to fund thousands of murderous chemotherapy treatments, so they can't afford them – I get it.) It contains around 19% THC and 1% CBD, so all in all... good shit :D.
HOW CAN MARIJUANA HELP WITH?
Multiple Sclerosis,
Epilepsy,
Arthritis,
Sleep Disorders,
Migraines,
Cancer,
Stress,
Anxiety Disorders and Pain
And many, many others.
THINGS WILL BE BEAUTIFUL AGAIN.
Marijuana has been pushed aside, but good things always survive. And so it is, so it is happening, the avalanche has started. Too much is being said, too much is being done, for this state of paranoia to last forever.
Eventually, as it has for 5,000 years, excluding the last 86 years (how comical the truth sounds...), it will become appreciated and legal again.
Amen.
Collectors, with hope for a better tomorrow—or at least the day after tomorrow, best regards. ☺
