“Cannabis is a threat to national security. It causes its users to become intelligent, healthy, compassionate and creative persons. These traits are not valued by our system, nor are they needed. Cannabis use threatens our exploitive system. A cannabis user has the audacity to question authority.” — subvertc on /r/trees.
A beautifully worded statement by a friend of mine whom I’ve never met in person.
“It causes its users to become intelligent, healthy, compassionate and creative persons.”
As someone who has smoked since age 16 and never stopped, who is employed, college educated, and with a family, this kind of thing is BS. Disappointing that so many redditors are eating up this line of garbage. The mind expansion angle is false and its part of what tanked the hippies’ movement. Don’t confuse euphoria with revelation, damn noobs.
Agreed on it not being the most “mind expanding”, but it has been shown under magnetic resonance imaging that it actually increases brain activity… So it’s not that far out of the question, depends on the person really.
You sounds bitter as hell. Someone over-promise something to you?
Maybe “helps” would have been more accurate than “causes”.
