I would like to point out that even though my
"No more Cash" idea would probably solve the problems related to the illegal uses of drugs such as
Marijuana, I would like to remind people of the value of Legalizing
Marijuana for Medicinal Purposes. There are several already documented uses for this Drug...
- "Research into the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects of
Cannabis continued to bolster the case for the Medicinal use of
Marijuana, making the 'patient pot laws' that have passed in 11 states seem less like a social movement than a Legitimate medical trend."(12/5/05-Time).
- "Medical
Cannabis has been clearly demonstrated to be a safe non-toxic medicine, useful in the treatment of some of our most disabling medical conditions including MS, cancer, AIDS, glaucoma, chronic pain, and many more conditions too numerous to list."(6/4/02-Jay
Cavanaugh)
- "...It's good for
Asthma Good for
Tuberculosis Even
umara composis
Legalize it - don't criticize it..."

-
Marijuana can also be used to help against arthritis, and period cramps...
- As a method to Suffocate Violent and/or irratable Tendencies and bi-polarity as well as Insomnia, basically like most
Sedatives...
Furthermore, I personally have a few other theories for Medicinal uses:
- As a form of Anti-depressant, for most people for whom it procures pleasure (in similar ways to
Psychedelic Mushrooms). Also it seems to procure users with a general feeling of being content, blinding the user of a possible negative/depressive environment.
- For
Anxiety and
Stress Problems, I would even suggest it as a replacements for
Xanax
- For treating
Hyperactivity
- To be used instead of
Methadone to get off
Heroin, Especially since
Methadone is physionomicaly addictive just like
Heroin.
- For
High Blood Pressure Problems/Hypertension
- As a replacement for sleeping pills especially for
Insomniacs
- As a method to increase appetite for foods (
Munchy side effect). especially sinceAlso during your munchies, food is so much more satisfying, the pleasure "income" from it is therfor increased, so you more than likely get more
Seratonin from it...
- As an aid to Meditation, to obtain attaining
"Nirvana", as well as other Meditational Moods... The
"Nirvana" sensation is also definately a good way to boost your Positive Energy Levels or
Seratonin.- I also have a theory that
Marijuana can help it's users Loose Weight as well as possibly Reduce bodily
Faty tissue, but only in a context where the "Patient" becomes a "Pot head", and/or a user which 1st gets accustomed to the level where it no Longer gives in to the "
Munchy Effect"; and then has ON/OFF periods of being a user or not.
THC stocks up in fatty tissues, so theoretically, when our bodies get rid off the build up of this "
Toxine" in the "Infected" Fatty tissues, our bodies will drain the
THC build up, on a regular daily dosage, and/or at higher levels when we entierly stop the use of
Marijuana...
I also personally believe that it can Trigger
CREATIVE THINKING, basically help open the doors of thought... (Useful for getting ideas, like strategies for Business, Rhetoric, Psychology... So... Not just for Art...), as well as help Remove Social Inhibitions and/or Shyness.
On top of it all, the Negative side effects for the use of this drug are few: a slight deficiency in Short Term Memory/Forgetfulness (which from what I've heard is actually a undesired side effect cause by gaining a specific kind of
"Heritage", basically people that live in your mind, with such problems, all with a masonic purpose to give marijuana a bad reputation), also some may say it kills ambition (also posibly linked to
"Heritage", although in some cases such as Criminal/Psychotic ambitions this could really be a positive thing, because of it's ability to calm the user). As far as it being addictive, it is only mentally addictive, and I would consider it to be no more so than a Big Mac, or any other favorite food/drink... It's basically as hard to resist as any kind of "feel good" craving...
I also find it important to mention that the demand for the drug is non negligible, so Legalizing
Marijuana would be a guarantied commercial success, basically a great source of revenue: tax revenues, sales revenues for the company, either privately or state owned, and salary revenues for employees to be hired in this industry. In other words a great source for Economic Growth!
In the event of my
"No more Cash" idea not being implemented, Legalizing
Marijuana would allow the market of
Marijuana to be regulated, meaning it would contribute in tax revenues, it would become harder for minors to have access to the drug, and the quality of the product would be guarantied.
The Legalization of
Marijuana can also be a better source of revenue for some developing Countries, than for example coffee or cotton, given that it's market price per kilo is much higher, and cost of production are probably approximately the same... Ironically the climate in these countries is ideal for the production of the drug, because it allows to harvest twice year. It is also important to mention that in the production of
Marijuana nothing is lost, the entire plant can be used, for: cosmetics, clothing and paper. And in the case of paper, I would guess that it would be a more time and cost efficient method of production, than using trees.
I am also for the Legalization of ALL Drugs... On the condition, that a proper Scientific investigation/experiment be done to "
factualize" the effects and side effects of all drugs, so that these drugs when sold, like cigarettes would come with a Warning Notice, and laws would have to be implemented such similar to those concerning Alcohol. Ex:
Drinking and Driving... And if people are stupid enough to still want to take drugs like
Cocaine and
Heroin, then let it be... Let them waste their lives away, while still being responsible of the side effects related to them... Ex: I believe that
Cocaine has a tendency to develop
aggressivety, and superiority complexes in humans... Also this way, all users are responsible for any side effect that the drugs they informatively go on have. Thus if a Potential client decides to use
Heroin, knowing about the
"Cold Turkey" side Effect, when he will decide to get off of it, the government will not owe him the cost of treating him for helping him get off
Heroin... (See also Daily Post article about
"Methadone Bill").
Furthermore, Given that there is a very High demand for
Marijuana, Legalising it will contribute to shortutting the corruption Linked to it...
NB1: Be Warned that doing/using
Marijuana can affect your
Masonry "Heritage", by adding a "Mr. What ever" (makes
unthorough and easily demotivated) + "Miss Short Term Memory Problems".
NB2: Be sure to have a High intake of VITAMINS... From what I've always heard, it's VERY important to have have high levels of VITAMINS, especially Vitamin C, when you do
Marijuana (and I think the same goes for all drugs...)
