Hi
Something ridiculous: For as bad as some people say Cannabis is for a plant, and with it being a level 1 narcotic being as illegal as plants can’t get, yet besides all of the arguments against it, it is NOT a lethal plant.
That being said, why is it that "Lethal" plants are perfectly legal to own and grow?
The answer: The ability to make money off of it. IT’S ALWAYS THE MONEY, ALWAYS.
And I think that membrane study started by people not catching covid(or less receptive) so a study began and came about that consuming cannabis creates a membrane that flu and viruses can’t break through.
Essentially, we’re don’t get sick as often cuz we consume cannabis.
The word government means to rule the mind.
That’s why cannabis is in this fascist state right now. It’s the government ruling your mind with a product that they make no claims is pure or natural or non-GMO… Not sprayed, etc.
The word fascism means government and corporations are partners such as what is going on in the dispensaries.
The reason to keep cannabis quasi legal is to keep away real marijuana. Medicinal marijuana. Because none of this dispensary stuff is medicinal. Nor is it a safe alternative for alcohol.
Start to ask questions about purity or is it natural or is it GMO or sprayed for flavor or addiction or to enhance the high? But you want to see this in writing from the grower or dispenser.
Also, they are keeping an eye on you through your drivers license when they scan it and record it. Did you know they have the right to sell your usage information to your insurance company?
I recently researched that if the bud is real hard or powder dry or not very strong in odor, it might be because they are using growth hormones that are cancerous.
This stuff that’s quasi legal is not medical. And to think the government works for the people is naïve. This is a social experiment and you are the lab rat. It’s a crazy world and you’re caught up in part of it.
40 Fukkin years old 🤣 way to sprinkle in a little “the government doesn’t give a Fukk that they are lying (and will tell you to your face)”

have you looked at any of the small, acquisition target-sized companies? there’s quite a few that are actually profitable. Vext Sciences for example has a P/E of like 5 and has been profitable for years now…. nobody knows about it, but it will almost certainly be bought out. There’s a few others like this. Grown Rogue is profitable too. C21 was – not sure if it is anymore. You just look at the big boys? 80% of my cannabis portfolio is in Green Thumb, Trulieve, Verano, and AYR wellness but i have a few small positions in this valuable micro cap companies… just as a YOLO mostly but they are good companies.
Follow the money and follow the power and who wants it and why
Great video! Thank you 😂
