Who Said What about Cannabis!

Many famous people uttered famous statements about cannabis. Some of them have become symbols of the fight against cannabis criminalization. Others, however, are not only beautiful, they are also very surprising.

For instance,

Do you know what Nixon said about cannabis?
What about Jimmy Carter?

I bet you didn’t know that even the Bible talks about it between the lines. Listen to me: go to http://greenhouseseeds.nl/, buy some good weed, then sit and follow me. This is a journey through words and history:

——

“The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world.”

Carl Sagan
——-

“Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn’t the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit . . . unnatural?”

Bill Hicks

——-

“We all need something to help us unwind at the end of the day. You might have a glass of wine, or a joint, or a big delicious blob of heroin to silence your silly brainbox of its witterings but there has to be some form of punctuation, or life just seems utterly relentless.”

Russell Brand

——-

“Federal and state laws (should) be changed to no longer make it a crime to possess marijuana for private use.”

Richard M. Nixon
———-
Do you like them? Well, it’s not over yet. Here we go again:

———-

“Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this clearer than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use… Therefore, I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce [28g] of marijuana.”

Jimmy Carter
——-

“And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.”

Holy Bible: King James Version
——–

Yes, that was the bible. And now, for the grand finale, from Bob to infinity:

“Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.”

Bob Marley
———

“Is marijuana addictive? Yes, in the sense that most of the really pleasant things in life are worth endlessly repeating.”
