Wow! I learned A LOT today!
I never knew, until right now, that manufacturers can now alter and regulate the amounts of "THC" & "CBD" in Marijuana. In result, a new strain of Cannabis is created. For medical purposes, the benefit comes from lowering ⬇ the "THC". (The component that causes the "high", hallucinated state) The "CBD" component relaxes areas of the brain, therefore giving relief to patients who suffer from strokes, epilepsy, diaphragm disorders, etc. Mind you, there are only a mere 483 compounds in the plant. Wow!
In this documentary, a 5 YEAR OLD CHILD with a crippling seizure disorder would have DIED without this form of medicinal Marijuana. It was there last and final hope. Her Mother paid $800 for a very small dose!!! Incredible.
I don't want to start a big debate or argument here, but I will say a few things: I am PRO Medical Marijuana for people, even children, with serious medical conditions. As far as making it legal for recreational use only, I'm sorry, but you don't have my vote. I won't lie. I have tried it a few times in my life. It's fun. It's relaxing. But I do not believe it should be consumed daily as a 4th meal! I can see our future generation become extremely lazy, dependent on a substance, work less hard, expect more for nothing, and WHO KNOWS how the human brain will begin to evolve. I could go on and on. My gut feeling just doesn't think it's a smart move America should make right now. I believe there are FAR MORE serious concerns & issues our Country should be worried about and focused on.
