Do you understand why this plant (hemp) and its cousin 'marijuana' were made illegal in the first place? It was nothing to do with it being a dangerous plant....it was more dangerous to the pharmaceutical industry's bottom line. Hemp also threatened the petrochemical industry. You can make just about anything from hemp...fabric, plastic, rope, bio-fuel, medicine and health foods. If the world was full of hemp plastic, then the marine creatures could eat it safely and in our landfill it would be naturally bio-degradable, non polluting.
Cannabinoids are naturally occurring substances in these plants that work with the body so there are no dangerous side effects. It is not addictive and there is no record of anyone ever dying from an overdose of cannabis. It is way less dangerous than alcohol or tobacco, but these are not illegal and cost so many people their health and their lives.
This plant was demonized by evil men because it had been used effectively in medicine for thousands of years. Only when patent medicines were put on the market was public perception about this wonder 'drug' manipulated so as to make it into the most dangerous plant in existence in their minds. They convinced governments to ban it, so that now, when so many people have discovered its benefits, they are are still trying to keep it out of the hands of the public. It is shameful! And those in the legal profession need to get themselves educated because the public is, and their actions in prosecuting people for using or possessing this plant as a God-given medicine is disgraceful. It helps kids with intractable epilepsy....it cures some cancers in humans and animals and makes the side effects of chemotherapy tolerable....it treats neurological disorders like Parkinson's Disease and a range of other illnesses with no unwanted side effects.
It can be used to get addicts off other drugs because it is not addictive.
It treats PTSD like nothing else....so, why are they holding it back? Because they want to cash in it so that they can make their own 'altered' chemical version of it and charge people a fortune for the "medicine". It won't work of course because this is a 'whole plant' medicine. All of the components work together to produce the results. This is driven purely by greed.
All the research they need has already been done. Israel is leading the way. The public is waking up. Its been there all along and literally millions of people have suffered and died to make drug companies rich. Everyone should be able to grow this medicine in their own garden. It isn't to get them "high" but to make them well.....something many in the orthodox medical system don't want.
