I like a herbal cig from time to time,it has many positive medicinal effects as well as being a fun for recreational purposes (imo).
The lengths taken to demonise cannabis because it can't be profitable for Big Pharma is both absurd and hilarious. Scientists being paid to reach a foregone conclusion isn't a new thing.....


....Then again, Perhaps I'm just in denial and I don't want to hear the truth.

Cannabis and mental health

It's very hard to get naturally grown cannabis these days and skunk (artificially grown stuff forced to grow faster in doors using special lights etc) the old stuff (grown naturally in fields under sunlight) was allowed to grow naturally in the wild and cultivated naturally and there is a big difference in chemical structure between them. As skunk is forced to grow faster some of the chemicals that cause well being are less, than the chemicals that cause psychosis which are more.

The reason why skunk has become more widely available is because the Drug Enforcment Agency's stops it getting out of the places where it grows naturally (India, Pakistan, Afghanistan etc) so effectively that it's less risky and more profitable to set up cannabis farms in the UK - where the majority of the stuff is now grown. So you could say that it's the War on Drugs that has forced users to take the stuff that is more damaging to their mental health. If people were allowed to grow their own in natural ways then there would not be the same damage done.
