Yes, my mom is an herb freak. But I am too. I love it when someone is sick and I can make them feel better through herbs and natural remedies. It's awesome when you can do that.
Everything I've learned about herbs has come from my mom- or at least she has given me the permission and revenues to do so and is not opposed to me experimenting on myself and the kids with different herbs.
But how do you do this when some herbs are illegal? When do you decide that helping someone is more important than not breaking the law? There are some people that would say to obey the law no matter what, and that's fine. I understand their view- after all, Jesus did say to obey the government.
And then there are people like me, who say that if God created it and it's growing on this earth, then we have no right to make it illegal and keep people from a healthy cure. God created it for a reason- and there are so many uses for it that can save lives.
By this time you know I'm talking about Marijuana- or weed, or pot, or MaryJane, or whatever the hell you want to call it.
The government has made us believe so many bad things about it (most of which are true, I will admit) but they are only showing us the bad side, they don't let us see the good healthy side.
How many of us know:
- weed will help with, if not totally cure, asthma. It clears your lungs (misspelled that to say lunch- can you tell I'm hungry?), and helps you breathe better.
-It also makes you think more clearly (If taken in moderate amounts, not if you inhale unhealthy amounts).
-It has been proven to hunt out cancerous cells and kill them- or at least, if not cure you, to work better than chemo and radiation.
-It's also relaxing, much like wine is, only more healthy and more relaxing. It's the perfect finish to a hectic week or even day. This also will lead to a better rest.
-If you are nervous and cannot eat, or your appetite in general is just going down the drain and you're sick and can't eat, take a few hits. Your appetite will come back, without you being high.
-It will cure headaches, stomach aches, and colds.
There are so many uses for it, and yet the government has us convinced that the only things it does is make you a bum, your teeth rot out, and act stupid.
Which, it can, if you don't do it right. But society also has put a lot of stereotypes on it and therefore that's how we see it. The government doesn't like it because it can't really make money off of it. Sure, I mean, if the government is gonna sell it like they sell other medicine, then yes, they can tax it.
But are you really gonna trust an herb that has been messed with by the government? No. Because they will process it and take all the 'healthy' out of it, just like they do raw milk, and you'll get nothing out of it. The government realizes that this will happen, and so they don't make it legal because they know that you're gonna start growing it yourself and then they can't make money on that. Exactly like they've done with raw milk.
SO yeah, it kinda isn't fun being an herb-freak but not being allowed to use one of the most important medicines. Like if you took anesthesia from an anesthesiologist. He wouldn't really have a job! You take pot away from an herb-freak, and you take away the most powerful tool we have.
You can draw your own conclusions from this post. I'm just saying, if it weren't illegal, a lot more people would be/could be a lot healthier.
Thanks to my bro (you know who you are man) and my best friend (yeah, you know who you are too) for teaching me about the uses of herbs and weed.
