Cannabis: 3 Reasons to Federally Legalize.
If there was something that could help you alleviate your pain, would you use it? What if it was illegal? What if you discovered an old remedy that your ancestors used for pain and healing. Would you use it? What if it was illegal? Cannabis can help you medically but it is not legal everywhere.
Our medicinal methods in the west are driven by the programming of the elite of society and the large pharmaceutical companies. They do not want anything that will alleviate, help and cure your symptoms integrated into the medical world. Instead, they want you to continue to pay more for pills that will mask your symptoms while creating new ones.
Cannabis was medicinally used by many ancient civilizations including the Chinese, Roman and Greeks to name a few.
In the 1700's British Colonies, cannabis was used in textiles and making cloth and rope among other things. In the 1800s cannabis was used medicinally in the West to help with stomach disorders, pain, and nausea relief to name a few. Even Queen Victoria used it to help with her menstrual pain.
So why a big change? The beginning of the utilization of the church and the matrix of the elite to help program the minds of the people. After losing the battle to vilify alcohol with the repeal of the prohibition laws, and in my opinion coming out of the depression, the elite, the business leaders, and the church combined together to target something else. Cannabis.
Cannabis was slowly being outlawed in some states and countries in the decade of the 1910's. In 1930 the word Marijuana started to be used more often to describe cannabis. Over the next several years more and more legislation was enacted to make cannabis illegal. Most of this legislation was pushed by the systems that control society including government leaders, the United Nations and big corporations wanting to make large profits to make the rich richer.
Recently many states have had elections on the legalization of cannabis, medicinally and recreationally. Voters have overwhelmingly passed the legislation to legalize, but many states are still refusing to give the citizens the relief opportunities they need. Many state governments refuse to listen to the voices of the people. I live in one of those states. This leads me to my first reason to legalize federally.
We are supposed to be the "United" States. Today, there is barely anything we are united about. I can go to the state next to me and cannabis is legal. In fact, I can go to the Cherokee reservation in my own state and cannabis is legal. We have an inconsistent set of laws and confusion over who thinks they are right. This would easily be fixed with the Federal legalization of cannabis.
My second reason is the legality of alcohol and tobacco. After the prohibition, alcohol was made legal by the 21st amendment to the United States constitution. Today alcohol is sold in retail stores, easily available to the public to purchase. When people need to have a party or just "unwind" from a long work week, alcohol is legal and easily available. Studies show alcohol is more harmful and more deadly than cannabis. But it's legal. People in leadership will vilify cannabis all day long in government institutions, then will end the day with a shot at a bar. The church leaders will talk about cannabis being a drug instead of a plant, then will justify serving wine because it was in the Bible. So was cannabis. People can get wasted from alcohol consumption while those who are physically and mentally ill are denied access to the healing power of cannabis because it is illegal.
That leads me into the third reason. Cannabis needs to be made legal to help treat the physically and mentally sick. I do not need to research, or look at studies to prove this accurate. I am a witness to it. My soulmate has fibromyalgia, and every procedure a doctor has tried to do and every pill a doctor has tried to push on her has not helped her. It doesn't help with her pain. It doesn't help her eat. It doesn't help her sleep. It doesn't help her brain fog. It doesn't help her depression or anxiety. You know what does? Cannabis. With cannabis her pain is alleviated. With cannabis she can eat. With cannabis she can fall asleep. With cannabis she can focus on her thoughts and the brain fog goes away. With cannabis, her anxiety and depression goes away. She doesn't need pharmaceuticals, she needs cannabis. But, it's illegal.
The same item that other American citizens have access to is denied to her because the state she lives in refuses to listen to the voice of the people. Why should an American citizen be denied access to the healing properties of cannabis that other American citizens have access too?
Please don't tell me to move to a different state. Why should an American citizen who is promised "freedom" have to move from their home, their favorite place to be, that is therapeutic, to obtain something that other American citizens have access to? Our system of government is broken.
The federal legalization of cannabis provides the freedom of all Americans to have legal access to the healing properties the plant has to offer.
I need your help. If you are for the legalization of cannabis, mobilize and speak out. Call your senators and congressmen and urge them to federally legalize cannabis. If you are against cannabis, I ask that you go back and look at the issue again. Study it. I am sure you will see that it is a healing plant and not a drug as you have been programmed to believe. Do not deny the freedom to some while enabling the increased power of others.
Please stand with me and journey with me to federally legalize cannabis.
