Re: Cool paper about the terpenoids that exist in Cannabis
I keep having these panic moments where I wonder...
what if the dirty hippies were TOTALLY right and MJ really is this freaky medicinal catch all plant that can replace a shit ton of pharmaceuticals?
How dumb are we gonna feel in 15 years when the survivability rate of something like breast cancer doubles?
fuuuuuck.

If you're looking for a somebody to blame for that, look no further than Richard Milhaus Nixon. Had he not been so wound-up about all those negroes who were living it up, smoking the Devil's Lettuce, and corrupting the white women in their jazz clubs, Marijuana would have never been classified as a Schedule 1 narcotic.Blaidd Drwg wrote:I keep having these panic moments where I wonder...

Going to feel extra dumb when Big Pharma figures out how to capture and patent all the positives of cannabis and sells them back to you for $300/pill.

I blame the otherwise intellectually curious people who were too much of a bunch a bitches to apply to the gubment to do the research...then I blame all the bible thumping fucktards that live more than 250 miles from a decent body of water who kept voting for that god damn drug war.
The WOD is the worst thing to happen to this country in the last 100 years. Period. The WOD is every bit as crippling and corrosive to American Values as slavery.

Add to that the over-prescribing of opiates for pain management, by legit doctors, and what you have is a nation full of people who are totally fucked up, and who unwittingly have painted into an even more fucked up corner. I saw it a lot in Pittsburgh, where "decent, middle-class" people turned to skag because its cheaper (and in some cases *stronger*) than the oxy's and vic's they'd accidentally gotten themselves addicted to while -and here's the kicker- under the supervision of a Doctor. It's scary.
The United States has handled drugs TERRIBLY. Absolutely TERRIBLY.
