Celebrities, United Nations Organization And The Cannabis Syndrome!
Enough is certainly enough. The controversy, the billions, illegalities, drug wars and patients crying out for succor, everything makes it inevitable that legal cannabis is bound to come, globally perhaps if World Organizations endorse it. And why not? What further proof is required regarding its medical effectiveness with pharmaceutical companies readying cannabis based products for diseases that may hit the markets soon, if not already. Meanwhile, we would have to rely on medical dispensaries, prescriptions and legal growers, depending upon the laws in force where you happen to reside. So, take care, before you opt for cannabis; confirm what laws are in force to avoid harsh brushes with the law.
Drug culture and the celebrities
Things have changed since the times of Timothy Leary! Yet Richard Branson, of Virgin fame, recently visited a substance abuse treatment facility in Denver, Colorado, that is funded by cannabis dollars. The shift away from criminal to reformative and rehabilitation policies is now getting stronger than ever. Many teenagers smoke pot while the legal age is 21. Should they be treated as criminal cases? Certainly not.
What the United Nations may decide
It used to be that way with a slogan of a drug free world! What about health, human rights, the economic potential and criminal justice reforms. We would have to wait until next month to know what the UNO thinks. In the interests of all concerned, liberal policies would do a world of good and put the drug mafia out of business. Just imagine the drug related deaths in Mexico between rival gangs!
Canada needs to catch up with a majority of American states
Somebody is offering one million pot seeds free in Canada! The North American nation is now busy rewriting pot laws. What were the laws like thus far? Licensed medical pot has been allowed, but patients do not have the right to grow their own stuff. They had to buy it from licensed producers. But that law has been put on hold by a court while the laws are reformed. Rewriting laws may take a while, but hopefully things will happen soon to put an end to patent woes.
The Kansas case of Crohn’s disease
Hard to believe maybe, but the son talked about cannabis use at home by his mother in school. Police took the son away. Now the woman has filed a suit defending her right to use cannabis to treat herself. Several incidents show the difficult extent the laws have reached and the need for change, but that is hard to come by. Things take too much time while people languish in prison or suffer by the thousand with diseases like epilepsy, bound by national or state laws that have tied their wings.
