I can definitely understand peoples’ issues with it being consumed, especially in a political context, but how do yall feel about “weed”? I won’t hide my feelings, I am very much pro-weed, it’s not great that I started in my mid-teens but in my area it’s FAR from uncommon. I don’t smoke daily or anything, I’m not addicted to it (people say it’s non-habit forming but any drug can be addictive with enough frequent usage) but I do smoke and dab w/ friends often. That’s not why I believe in legalization tho, my main thing is you shouldn’t make a naturally occurring plant an illegal substance. I’d point to the DEA’s destructive (legal) burning of thousands of naturally occurring marijuana plants found in nature; This seems eco-fascist to me and to deny the uses of hemp as a production material seems dogmatic to me. The USSR used hemp for industrial purposes during the war and it helped in a major way. I’m sure most of us are familiar with the badge given for Hemp growers. If you have any criticisms, I’m more than open to it, but I feel that marijuana won’t be easy to get rid of in future society and would probably be put to use in different more productive ways.

    Hey man, I also medicate for similar reasons and agree that people don’t understand marijuana well enough to make informed judgment.

    The Marijuana plant is composed of 10s of terpenes, cannabinoids, flavanoids, and there are tens of thousands of varieties with new ones being created everyday. The composition of each strain can be vastly different, and have a wide spectrum of effects. Not all of which are the classic “stoned” that people associate with weed.

    There are non-psychoactive strains that can help with anything from anxiety, to inflammation, CFS, IBS, pain, and more.

    For ADHD, Sativa strains high in CBDv, THCv, and CBG. Terpenes: Limonene, Terpoline. Caryophyellene, Pinene, Linalool. If the strain doesn’t have much CBD or CBC, consider adding some CBD flower to keep the anxiety/ paranoia down.
