  1. It's a great tragedy that the plant was demonized so much. Even when I was growing up I thought it was "bad". I am happy that it is legal where I live, and I happily use it!

  2. I theorize that disease evolves via the same psycho-emotional pathways we call the cannabinoid system and the specific strains effective for specific diseases are like combination locks that can literally pull disease out backwards from the way it evolved. I don’t know of a single disease that isn’t accompanied by emotional suffering.

  3. One variable that I rarely hear anyone mention is a big almost universal concern – soil science. When I travelled in Colombia’s tropical rainforest I was amazed at the integrity of the topsoil. Minor elements make a gigantic difference in the integrity of plant molecules. It also is very visible in the high quality of the plants. Holistic connections to the Earth are at the core of successful plant chemistry. Insects and soil fungi are the building blocks of this plants chemistry.

  4. The important thing for corporate is to stop all non pharmaceutical methods for health improvement and disease treatment. It is all about the need to control being the only witch doctor in town. The well being of the human family does not factor into the profit factor which is a shame.

  5. So, all this research and politicians in the USA still say we need more research. As schedule 1, “it has no medicinal use”, WTF? It’s obvious who the real criminals are!

  6. All I know is, cannabis has improved my life in countless ways. For one, during a rough period in my life 5 years ago, a doctor prescribed Lexipro and Xanax. I found living in Lexipro's emotional flatness bizarre and alarming. (I was also surprised by how many people want Xanax once they know you have a supply.) Cannabis, on the other hand, brought me peace, calm and even pleasure in trying times. It expanded my consciousness, helping me appreciate all the good in my life, while examining the roots of my trouble and resolving so much of it. Cannabis is a profoundly intuitive agent in the healing of all suffering.

  7. Bla bla bla……. this is the right way to get everyone confused about a plant…. just grow your own and smoke it in the evening so you'll be ok. Stop spreading useless confusion

  8. Started using in 4th grade 1970, and still use it today at 59 yrs old. I don't need permission, or research to know what works. And it hasn't hindered my life. I work in the technical field, running complex precision machinery. Have worked on medical devices, aircraft, and proton accelerators at MIT. Don't let laws or government tell you what's right for you.

  9. its a cheap way to cure people, big Pharma is keeping schedule one. its time people wake up and stand up or nothing will change. government isn't for the people its for the wealthy only.

  10. Keep up you're great work! 👍👏👏👏👏👏
    I live with chronic pain and don't know what CBD oil to try?
    After having two neck surgeries and been in pain for three years and have tried many different types of pain medication all with side effects I'm on pain patches now but not working that well and make me itch all over.
    Australia needs to get on and make this legal with out having to jump through hoops and so expensive.
    😠😠😠

  11. If you are newer to the stoner game don’t drive. You are intoxicated. Check your reaction time and you’ll notice it. I play ice hockey and playing stoned can hurt you. Endocanabanoid system is to sleep and relax, not be alert.

  12. God Gave Us Herb. Discussion Over. Tell them to Get lost if they don't like it.
    It reduces pain profoundly on levels not easily discribed, it makes living with pain mentally bearable.

  13. where did all these hundreds of strains come from? im sure 100 years ago there weren’t that many. man has crossbred and produced so many hybrid versions that they watered down the strength and effectiveness of it just for this reason so u can make more money. go back to the original if that’s possible all u will find your cure all!

  14. Cannabis became criminalized in the 1930s because Americans were afraid of the Mexicans smoking so they criminalized it to keep them in Mexico. No wonder Mexicans are so much more fun.
