It's hard when you try to talk to people who associate weed with just getting high or they think people are drug addicts for taking it, it's just ironic how they could call you a drug addict and then they are on 10 differrent pills referred by their doctor...
Weed has been used for ages as medicine in many parts of the world and with it having so many benefits no wonder big pharma and the government make so much propaganda and give it a bad image.

Very true. For most illegal drugs there is a legal equivalent made by the pharmaceutical companies. They lobby to keep everything illegal because they don't want the competition. I don't necessarily think all drugs are good but no one should go to jail for using them and most do have some legitimate uses like cannabis and psychedelics are obvious examples but even the drugs we think of as "bad" might have a use in a different context. The example I like to give is having a tooth pulled. If my choice is nothing for the pain or rubbing some cocaine on my gums I would choose the cocaine even though I don't think using it as a party drug is super cool. I don't necessarily agree with this argument but I have heard a very compelling case which asserts that heroin is a superior pain killer to morphine for medical applications because its intoxication is less debilitating. I don't have the knowledge to properly assess that argument but it makes one wonder how many illegal drugs might out preform the legal ones at one thing or another.
Thanks for reading.
They just want to make money and keep patients coming back, it's quite sad to be honest but that's life , we obviously don't have medical knowledge but more people are starting to realize that cannabis and other drugs that are illegal have medicinal effects.
You have some great posts looking forward to reading more👍
