The entire history of medical cannabis has been through the lens of government corruption
I can clearly remember getting busted by my Uncle Ed while smoking a joint. It was the night after Thanksgiving in addition to the whole extended family was gathered in my Grandfatherrents ranch house. I had snuck into the backyard to smoke a little weed, not knowing Uncle Ed was out there smoking a cigar. He offered myself and others a immense lecture about how dangerous in addition to addictive pot was, all the while he was smoking tobacco in addition to drinking liquor. Both of these substances are highly addictive, while medical cannabis is not… so why is medical cannabis even considered a harmful drug in the first place? The answer lies in capitalism, greed, in addition to corruption! Medical cannabis in addition to hemp were considered to be absolutely dangerous to the tobacco industry. Medical cannabis was a cheaper crop to produce than tobacco, in addition to offered a great many more benefits. The tobacco industry knew that medical cannabis might supplant tobacco as the cash crop for the South, so they bribed government officials in addition to had it declared illegal. The entire history of medical cannabis has been through the lens of government corruption. Medical cannabis was never absolutely considered dangerous, this was a political move to help grow profits for the tobacco industry, but decades after the fact, many people just like my Uncle Ed still consider medical marijuana to be dangerous in addition to addictive, all because of this government conspiracy. Even though medical cannabis is starting to be legalized across the country, I suppose it is “too little, too late” because those medical cannabis laws have ruined the lives of millions of people.
