Nothing like some canna butter or canna oil sugar cookies!
nastybunch do a little research on how pot became illegal in this country. Even the AMA lobbied to keep it legal.
Fire and brimstone....can't change that southern baptist culture.
You could tell him that Hearst, Dupont, etc... made hemp illegal because it would've have destroyed their empires. It wouldn't matter. It is akin to the forefathers of science being persecuted.
In macro terms, history has taught us one very valuable lesson. The doctrine of mankind has gotten it wrong every single time. From worshiping the sun, to golden idols, to mythological gods, to god. It has been the purest form of trial and error with error always being the outcome. Throughout the history of the evolution of man, the belief and control that was/is obtained by promoting a "higher power" has enslaved and killed more people than any stupid little weed. Thank GOD we developed the skills to get past the 'flat earth' movement, earth is the center of the universe, earth is 6.5K years old, the earth was created in 6 days, etc.....
Since we are the highest form of intelligence in our solar system, or universe for that matter, (that we are aware of anyway), I can only laugh at the lack of acknowledgement of this lesson and feel fortunate to be alive today than any other time in the past (except maybe the 50's to mid 60's....Ozzie and Harriet ignorance is bliss years).
IMO, ignoring what has been learned, is like running into a wall over and over again...you know it's going to hurt, but since everyone else is doing it....okay, uh yeah, and maybe we should go back to burning 'witches' or reconvene the Spanish Inquisition....that makes sense (total sarc)
It is funny that those that preach 'holiness' are most likely the type to condemn....is the ultimate irony of my experience on this planet....'they' would've stoned me to death as a kid.
