Pretty crazy stuff. Amazing that the government is holding back such a useful medicine because of their pride/egos.

Every single person that I have met that uses alot of weed has deeply rooted tension issues and for them it is a temporary relief.
The problem is that it is never a cure to anything and soon they need more and more of the drug because the tension never gets a permanent release.

It becomes a vicious cycle.

Then there are some that think they can use it as a short cut to spiritual experiences...

Like someone wiser than me said:
"Short cuts only cut you short"

I understand why so many people use weed these days but to me there is nothing positive about it only an indication that something is wrong (out of balance).

Peace.
