[QUOTE="LittleWolf, post: 391750, member: 66893"] Totally believe you on that. 'Self-deception' Or the human desire to appease themselves and indulge in whatever they want because humans do not like to account for themselves. We are inherently arrogant, EXPERTS at doing things that hurt them and flouting rules, Part of the reason I think faith/religion is important. People like to refute every commandment and insist they should be allowed to do whatever they want. I don't think this is right and acknowledge there are certain 'rules for a reason and doing certain things is just plain bad for you. Which is why I not any of us have deceived ourselves into thinking that everything is alright and there is no danger in 'taking drugs' Take into account this isn't crack, speed or heroin we are talking about (although the last two are considered OK and prescribed because they are in a neat little pill) We are talking about cannabis not just because 'we want to get high all the time and not listen to warnings about there ever being adverse effects to using marijuana' The bottom line is put cannabis' components next to practically any other drug and you cannot refute there being a freaking boatload of scientifically proven health benefits and potential for cure of major diseases without a fraction of the side effect (no one is saying there aren't ANY at all however. It would be a totally different argument if we were talking about other illicit drugs. Cannabis should not be illegal anyway.. We are not just telling ourselves it helps because we want justification in being stoned 24/7 there are plenty of things we could get over the counter that may not fix us but most definitely get us high and potentially kill us. Reminder of the fact you don't have to be intoxicated to use cannabis medicinally. I feel sorry for people sicker than me whose prescription drugs are not helping and they consider to suffer when cannabis could be the answer. I know people whose cancers have been cured by ingesting cannabis and applying it topically. I came out of depression, beat anorexia, pulled up my grades to get to university, stopped self harming, took up 5 instruments and 3 sports, no longer have panic attack or hallucinations since using cannabis- it is possible to be a functional member of society and we come from all walks of life. We are not all anarchists who like to tell themselves that being counter culture is cool. Even if I did use any other drug and really enjoyed it, I couldn't honestly justify its decriminalisation. There is a reason there is so much rallying behind getting it legalized. Like I said, It's not crack (which I have lost family members to sadly) I can't believe I could get sent to prison for a herb that helps me and sent to the emergency room by drugs that are prescribed to me (and routinely abused by millions yet considered to have less potential for harm to the public) This whole thing is making me upset. My friend has MS and she's run out of options... But I can't grow some backyard pot to alleviate her symptoms? Go see the statistics comparing hospital admissions for cannabis use compared to popular FDA approved drugs. It does too much good to be kept under lock and key.
