It hit me when Dr. Lester Grinspoon died recently.. I saw a photo of him it was instantly obvious. Then I asked myself well who else is a big name in cannabis legalization? Jack Herer! Holy fuck. Ok.. WHO ELSE? Fuckin (((ED ROSENTHAL)))!!! WTF!!! Now, I’m a pro-cannabis guy, I’ve worked in a dispensary, I’ve seen it help a lotta people, even shrinking cancerous tumors away for some folks, so I believe in the medicine. Where my brain goes when I see all these fuckin Jews being at the helm of the movement.. and Israel being a leader in medical research into cannabis.. makes me wonder if they were only stifling any actual progress in the US. Or maybe cannabis is the devil lettuce and I’m in denial.. any thoughts on this one, goats?

It's another industry that can easily be corrupted. Like alcohol, enjoy a toke in moderation. There's solid proof THC and CBD help cure chronic pain, epilepsy in children and of course cancer in adults & children.
Look at the opiates that doctor's use for pain treatment during or after operations for sedation and pain relief. Obviously not going to shoot a patient up with heroin, but there are absolutely medicinal benefits found inside opiates, as there are in cannabis as well.
There are many that are stuck in their old ways of or won't even be open minded towards learning about any medicinal about cannabis because "Muh Reefer Madness".
They are the same idiots who trust doctors more than family, and take several medications to stay "normal", but give people shit for having a toke to help with their health issues.
Big pharma is a huge part of this whole mess imo. They have influenced generation after generation that cannabis is a bane to society, when it's only a bane to their profits from pills.
I know Class A CDL drivers, Surgeons, Lawyers, Chefs, Mechanics and just about any other type of person that enjoys a toke more than even a beer after their day.
Now about states without legalization... If you could get arrested in a state for drinking beer, you sure as hell wouldn't feel too safe talking to anyone about drinking because of fear. Well, same situation actually happens with a person who smokes pot where it's illegal. Only thing is where it's illegal, usually everyone that smokes keeps it on the DL.
Sad part is there are states that could really benefit from all the revenue being collected from the cannabis tax and hey likely won't see any of that revenue until it is federally legalized. States with cannabis legalized have also seen a dramatic decline in hard drug use, domestic violence and DUIs. Local Oregon sheriff's will tell you the same thing.
