    Not phyco active. It was so misrepresented while the scheduling, restrictions, and erratication of marijuana was taking place that the ones lobbying for the laws utilized one of LSDs main side effects. I know this as fact. I’m not asking I am teaching you something.

    Since 1971 approximately 10% of the country has smoked weed
    That’s roughly 30 million people times 50 years. This equals one and a half billion human years of experience with weed. What more could we expect to learn? It’s harmless.

    If it was legal to grow weed at home the heat from the lights will heat you’re home for free cutting a lot of carbon emissions.

    This is amazing information and it’s so refreshing to hear it from people off prestige and in well respected positions. No disrespect to anyone who has done cannabis research through the world and over the years but as a man who lives in the north off ireland and is occupied by British rule and their law this really gives me hope and excitement that maybe one day I can work in this field

    Our bodies are familiar with hemp in its natural form. We have used hemp for thousands of years that way and our bodies recognize it and are able to use it effectively that way. Spagyric extracts are the closest to the natural plant

    Why is it that I can smoke 4 joints throughout this session and remember its information? Selective memory? Complimentary learning of smoking and learning about weed?

    The problem isn’t cannabis. The problem is Greed. The problem isn’t getting hi. The problem is getting low. However, the best way to be is in complete consciousness.
