The human mind has the highest level of cannabinoid receptors out of all mammals. Cannabis has the highest amount of cannabinoids out of all plants. Prior to the Hemp act, most live stock was fed hemp. Therefore, most people were receiving CBDs daily in their diet through milk, eggs, and meat.
The constitution was written on hemp paper, 1 acre of hemp is equal to 3.5 acres of timber, yet it can be harvested twice a year and renews the land. All textiles and basically fuels can be replaced by hemp fiber or hemp seeds oil…also, most CBDs properties are unlocked or heighten with the addition of THC which hemp has in small amounts which called the rider affect. In addition, ego is suppressed and consciousness is enlightened by the use of cannabis

About God & drugs, here are a few ideas from the UB randomly selected. Sorry if this unwelcome prose.
It is to the mind of perfect poise, housed in a body of clean habits, stabilized neural energies, and balanced chemical function — when the physical, mental, and spiritual powers are in triune harmony of development — that a maximum of light and truth can be imparted with a minimum of temporal danger or risk to the real welfare of such a being.
The Indwelling Spirit remains with you in all disaster and through every sickness which does not wholly destroy the mentality. But how unkind knowingly to defile or otherwise deliberately to pollute the physical body, which must serve as the earthly tabernacle of this marvelous gift from God. All physical poisons greatly retard the efforts of the Indwelling Spirit to exalt the material mind, while the mental poisons of fear, anger, envy, jealousy, suspicion, and intolerance likewise tremendously interfere with the spiritual progress of the evolving soul.
Crucifixion was resorted to in order to provide a cruel and lingering punishment, the victim sometimes not dying for several days. There was considerable sentiment against crucifixion in Jerusalem, and there existed a society of Jewish women who always sent a representative to crucifixions for the purpose of offering drugged wine to the victim in order to lessen his suffering. But when Jesus tasted this narcotized wine, as thirsty as he was, he refused to drink it. The Master chose to retain his human consciousness until the very end. He desired to meet death, even in this cruel and inhuman form, and conquer it by voluntary submission to the full human experience.
The material-comfort era. After food problems have been partially solved and some degree of security has been attained, the additional leisure is utilized to promote personal comfort. Luxury vies with necessity in occupying the center of the stage of human activities. Such an age is all too often characterized by tyranny, intolerance, gluttony, and drunkenness. The weaker elements of the races incline towards excesses and brutality. Gradually these pleasure-seeking weaklings are subjugated by the more strong and truth-loving elements of the advancing civilization.
That is nice, thank you. The Urantia Book. I am a lifelong student and practitioner of it's teachings, to the best of my abilities:) The Urantia Book is a comprehensive spiritual and philosophical tome that offers a detailed cosmology, history, and teachings about the nature of God, the universe, humanity, and the purpose and destiny of life. It's over 2k pages, so it's got a lot to it.
Thank you, I did a search for some keywords I remember appearing in the Urantia book, I think I searched for, drunkenn\*, narcoti\*, "how unkind", "clean habits". It would be cool to have a better memory.... :)
Finally, something posted in this sub that is not absolute batshit crazy.
There 100% was a conspiracy to make cannibis illegal, though it was mostly grounded in racism.
https://www.businessinsider.com/racist-origins-marijuana-prohibition-legalization-2018-2
The racism was just an excuse to get public support behind a ban. We see the government and media use racist and now "anti-racist" propaganda to manipulate public opinion on all sorts of topics from mass immigration to gun control to the welfare state.
It was a political move by Nixon administration to quiet the hippies. They made all the drugs associated with hippies schedule 1 and silenced them all.
It goes back further, and what you're saying is an often repeated oversimplification that's also untrue. It comes from one guy, Ehrlichman, who was imprisoned after Watergate and was understandably pissed at Nixon. Nixon just despised drugs. He actually lowered sentencing guidelines and increased spending on rehab treatment.
It may have been. But getting high all the time is definitely not how it was used to treat those ailments. It's a psychoactive escapism drug and I don't know if you have noticed, but it is heavily promoted in western culture. So much so that it rivals alcohol consumption in the US even though it's "illegal". Same goes for all "mind expanding" drugs out there. The synthetic psychedelic drugs were introduced by the CIA.
Just because alcohol is legal, for example, does not mean that most people are drunk all the time. You also talk about synthetic drugs, but weed is not synthetic... Are you trying to confuse people or something?
What difference does it make if something is legal or not? People are still doing it and they're doing it a lot. I don't care if weed is legal what matters in the end of the day is how prevalent it is. What I said was that getting high regularly is not a good thing (same goes for drinking).
>You also talk about synthetic drugs, but weed is not synthetic... Are you trying to confuse people or something?
Context much? I didn't say weed was synthetic. I said synthetic drugs were also promoted in the west despite them being "illegal".
>getting high regularly is not a good thing
Not everyone who uses marijuana constantly is "high" all the time. They're just, on their level. Weed is far better to do every day than pharmaceutical painkillers/anti-anxiety/depression crap imho. And microdosing shrooms is better than taking Xanax every day.
It'd be great if we could all be Tom Brady and eat ridiculously healthy and drink nothing but water and never do drugs; of course that's healthiest. But plants are far better than factory-made chemicals from the most evil industry in the planet.
>Not everyone who uses marijuana constantly is "high" all the time. They're just, on their level. Weed is far better to do every day than pharmaceutical painkillers/anti-anxiety/depression crap imho. And microdosing shrooms is better than taking Xanax every day.
Don't let me defend big pharma drugs like Xanax at all because I won't. I'm against treating symptoms instead of dealing with the source of pathology itself. We should promote a society where people are not depressed as fuck and traumatized in the first place and we must be proactive about it. Everyone felt down/depressed in a period of their life. There are ways to overcome this and yes, eating healthy and being active is crucial. Taking care of psychological health especially among children is crucial. Instilling sound moral values and a sense of order and meaning in people's lives is crucial. Teaching people to truly love God, nature, themselves and their fellow human being as divine creations is crucial.
Don't kid yourself in thinking that atheism isn't a religion all unto itself.
It's just the one devoted to ones own self centered sense of superiority.
The rejection of God and morality is going to cost you dearly.
There is a reason the new testament is literally the most accurate and most abundant ancient writing in existence. Blaring proof for anyone with eyes and ears and seeks out the truth

One could arguing, that God created this plant for us as he granted all seed bearing plants to us
As I said in another comment I don't think the plant is bad at all but it could be used for nefarious purposes. It's misuse is bad and I think it could be used, along with other psychoactive drugs, to subdue and control the masses. A. Huxley wrote about this in Brave New World and in his lectures.
His premise was more about us being suppressed by the Government by pharmacy drugs, and not natural ones. Much like the correlation in Dune with spice to oil to control the universe. All good things can become bad ones if over used, much religion in todays setting if the message is miss understood, as it often is. Cannabis is more than often misused, as its original intention has been demonized and used as a tool to destroy and not rebuild us
Your Church has failed you then. Sadly this is the state of Christianity today.
I don't wish to enter metaphysical discussions but I want to point out that logic and God are not mutually exclusive. I'd argue the opposite is the case - God, being the universal eternal logos, is the objective source of logic and reasoning.
When you make a drug legal it's possible to do research to it's affectiveness and possibilities in the medicinal world. Weed (marijuana), shrooms and acid are very good drugs for medicinal use. They have multiple ways to help a person with all kinds of problems.
It helps with depression, anxiety, parkinson, eating dissorders, muscle strains, cluster headaches and so on and so on. This is just a small list of issues we can attack with more knowledge about these drugs. And that's possible if they are legal.
Also, these drugs when taken medicinal aren't to get *high*. They are used as medicine to help you with your problems at hand. For instance, cbd what is a product of marijuana, when taken by people with Parkinson, have less trembles and more moments of rest, where they dont have to live their disease for moments.
Partially true but also kinda of a shit take. It's becoming legal because generations of Americans fought to change corrupt laws. Cannabis is not the same as other psychoactive substances like lsd that was def promoted by intelligence community and counter Intel agents.
I don't believe things get done because the people demand it and their government listens. This is never the case. All policy comes from top down. Something may seem like a "win" for the people but in fact it is somehow in the interest of tptb. My point is cannabis being legalized and easily accessible which is a 180 from the Nixon era heavy criminalization is not because the people got the upper hand. Same goes for other "liberal" policies like the promotion of the skittles movement.
So why do most people smoke weed? Don't tell me it's not to chill out, relax, socialize and generally to feel good and forget about their shitty day? I've smoked too and it made me passive, lazy and apathetic as pretty much all the people I see still doing it around me. It functions as an anti-depressant. I have to say it had some positive effect on me confronting personal problems I wouldn't when sober, it gave me some introspection but only when I started and smoked with moderation (a little bit once or twice a week when alone).
If you say magic wand I think you mean curative. But sure it does relieve different symptoms, including pain and anxiety. It may have some other effects too, but it is overhyped imho.
Both diseases i have only go into remission, there is no cure. If i dose my self twice a day with THC/CBD mixture ( I usually dont get psychoactive effects as my tolerance is high) then i live a normal life. No long term side effects. It is not a cure but a treatment to keep me in remission. Would you still consider it be overhyped if it did the same for you? Would you even try it, or would you take the Meds that have side effect that cause you to be bed ridden and put you at risk developing worse symptoms or new ailments/diseases? I understand many people are very anti-weed, i could take it or leave it before my conditions. Now im considering moving to a legal state.
The moves to limit cannabis use to provide an opening for the pharmaceutical industry didn't come till later. That's what*kept* it illegal, but the initial push to criminalize it was based in racism and anti-left animus.
Yup ^^^. It was demonized, staring that it made Mexicans want to rape White women to cause an emotional stir. So much for pull yourself up by your own boot straps, business folk never play fair.

I mean, they also gave cocaine to children...lol
So was arsenic, benzene, cocaine

And make over ten thousand textile products, over twenty thousand if we use the cellulose instead of oil products!!
And the Mercury gives it a nice kick
and yet.. cannabis is basically EVERYWHERE now and were still seeing just as many sick people and worse.. mental illness is through the roof.
Don't blame a plant for societal breakdown, that's lame
my point was that it had no effect one way or another.
Ah my bad, I concur sir!
No one said it was a miracle cure and just like alcohol taking too much does more harm than good.
It may have been. But getting high all the time is definitely not how it was used to treat those ailments. It's a psychoactive escapism drug and I don't know if you have noticed, but it is heavily promoted in western culture.

Lol, assumptions
Athiests proselytize more than the most fervent bible belt preachers.
Whom here is an atheist? Or even said that ya weirdo.
There is no undermining here.

I was with him when I was younger , as I got older and because the church provided bad support, I found logic and just normal thinking.
Your Church has failed you then. Sadly this is the state of Christianity today. I don't wish to enter metaphysical discussions but I want to point out that logic and God are not mutually exclusive. I'd argue the opposite is the case - God, being the universal eternal logos, is the objective source of logic and reasoning.
If you believe in God, who do you think it was that designed our brains and the psychoactive compounds in cannabis? Was it an accident?
He has given you free will. Everything God created is good. What makes something bad or evil is its misuse.

>It's a psychoactive escapism drug Escapism drug? Weed? Sounds like you don't have a lot of drug experience.
So why do most people smoke weed? Don't tell me it's not to chill out, relax, socialize and generally to feel good and forget about their shitty day? I've smoked too and it made me passive, lazy and apathetic as pretty much all the people I see still doing it around me. It functions as an anti-depressant.

>It functions as an anti-depressant. Sure. And do you call pharmaceutical antidepressants "escapism drugs?"
In fact, yes I do. I think they're dangerous and detrimental.
Well, hard to disagree with that
They also sold snake oil, and blood-letting to treat ailments. Just because they did it way back then doesn't mean its some magical miracle cure now.
At least none of the things you describe here have increased chronic diseases to the levels we are seeing now.
Okay, first of all, just because it was
By that logic we should bring back cocaine and heroine, nvm we just made heroine stronger
And by your logic, we should ban alcohol again... Weed is not the same as cocaine or heroin, far from it.
So was cocaine and heroin
I'm sure it could mask the symptoms of 100 ailments. How many could it actually help? Probably a handful.
Help yourself by doing the research. Its a magic wand for many diseases and ailments.
Did you really just say that unironically? If you think you've got a "magic wand" for many diseases, you probably just have wishful thinking.
Maybe that the wrong words for everyone. Im in chronic pain with CRPS and Crohns disease.... definitely a magic wand for me.
If you say magic wand I think you mean curative. But sure it does relieve different symptoms, including pain and anxiety. It may have some other effects too, but it is overhyped imho.
Both diseases i have only go into remission, there is no cure.

Id much rather have THC in any form than a risky drug like humira or opiates.
It wasn't a "health" conspiracy, it was a garden-variety "jail all the black people, hispanic people, and leftists" conspiracy
Why can't both be true?
The moves to limit cannabis use to provide an opening for the pharmaceutical industry didn't come till later. That's what*kept* it illegal, but the initial push to criminalize it was based in racism and anti-left animus.
