THC

October 25, 2007

Well, I know some people out there have some… “bad” habits. They do drugs for money or they just like to smoke it. Even though it’s illegal almost everywhere, the “purple” keeps burning. Yes, I’m talking about weed, Mary Jane… marijuana.

The Government denies the benefits of dope due to its “side effects”. There are a lot of strong arguments and deep studies that show us clearly the positive effects of weed’s active ingredient, {en:tetrahydrocannabinol}, THC for short.

The active compound in marijuana, THC, can slow the growth of lung tumors and reduce the spread of the cancer in mice, a preliminary study reveals. [More]

I’m not a fan of dope, but I see a major problem here. Marijuana is one of the main sources for natural THC, but still, the Governments deny it. I do agree that dope has some side effects, being addictive. So what? Almost every single medicine is addictive if taken in large quantities and for a long time. I don’t get it. Is there a catch or something?

Some YouTuber says:

Marijuana has been used in farming, culture, religious (christian, jewish, muslim etc), medical, food and fuel for 8000 years. Not only it has cancer and tumor fighting capiblity it also is probably the best source of biofuel on the planet. Hemp plants can also help replenish damage topsoil, it can survice drought and floods. And ive not even mentioned how it got criminalised. Do some research on it before going on some holy crusade against it…

And another one…

The corporations don’t want people using drugs that they can’t control the price of. Since the corporations run the government, marijuana will never be legalized. It is a shame that marijuana brings comfort to so many people but they aren’t allowed to use it legally. This is definitely a fight worth fighting.
