Well . . . if parents-to-be smoke/consume MJ and say that has an effect on their sexual genes . . . we end up with freaks?
Same basic argument applies to most of the garbage put in our foodstuffs and alcohol, cigs, gasoline exhaust fumes and un-reported nuke manufacturing of these wonder kin waste ventings. And . . . believe me . . . feds and states and retails do not want to go there (get PR on this slant). Carbon Credits . . . do they apply to MJ? Should PHOT get some for helping to lessen pollution? Government is silent on that too.
MJ and HEMP foresting and farming product uses have been around for 1000s of years . . . is human turning into zombies and lizard people? MJ may even have been one of the mystical "smokes" mentioned in the bible as used in middle eastern houses of worship. Nothing like getting the crowd high before you ask for 'donations'?
MJ has been medical plant used by frontier doctors and curers all through USA history (and before by native peoples) . . . until pharma manufacturers decided they would have far less product ideas to offer public . . . if public could grow medience in their backwoods plots. Grandma takes a little hyper-toot and goes right back to gardening.
Vets hospitals refuse treatment to mentally and physically wounded and broken war vets who say they are using pot, even though the vets are over medicated and traumatized by massive overloads of artificial drug effects on their systems and brains. Wounded go to sleep often easier with a few puffs or so of MJ . . . when their minds and bodies are screaming pain and disorientation. Positive effects of pot are so useful (you go gently to sleep and the brain gets to reset easier) . . . Vets Administration has been virtually forced to try some experimental programs that use MJ for worse patients ills. And you won't hear much about that. Bluntly speaking, modern super tranquilizers in massive prescribed doses do a lot of harm to the patient over time. Ever wonder why PFE drug company (and others) are rushing to try to patent MJ THC, etc. for themselves?
I drank as a teen and it didn't seem to make me a felon or mass murderer . . . but I was not using it to escape my life or did I become addicted to it. I suspect a lot of so-called addiction is really developed by trying to escape social/personal pain. And, some of us are just plain nuts and those are the ones that get out of hand on MJ, Alcohol and gun possession me thinks.
The real problem is society is too set against testing youth starting in pre-school for illnesses and personalities disorders.
We could save lots of violence and really help our population by addressing such issues early on. Meds later on or whatever, are not the answer either (only in limited cases) . . . we as a nation need to monitor and counsel positive environment and personal growth modeling to bring the best outcome for each individual?
Younger children always want to do adult things (and be like big brother/sister/dad/mother/uncle/aunt) . . . maybe we just need to focus on doing things in front of others? Its A-OK to be a gun solider . . . its just for practice . . . right? You take the Apes out of the woods . . how do act in the streets?
We are suppose to be able to evolve, though. Why not by positive reinforcements?
Governments know this (the Ape argument).
Always hide behind an argument . . . especially one that has no study to back it up. Lawyers and politicos keep falling back on the club of authority . . . who needs medical efficiency studies?
Tap . . . tap . . . we know we are right.
Don't know if I presented anything worthwhile . . . buts that kind of how I see it.
