I can understand why there are so many wary of cannabis, but there are a lot of misinformed opinions here.
For one, smoking cannabis is not the medically-approved form of ingestion for anything except glaucoma, depression, and some forms of PTSD. Oils are used for pain management, seizures, cancers, and most everything else. Many of these oils do not get you high.
The Nixon administration actually did thorough research on cannabis, while he was trying to prove it was toxic, and threw out the results when it did not match his agenda.
"Pot" was not born in the 60's. It has been used as a medicine for thousands of years, and could even be found in certain forms in doctor's bags as recently as the 60's.
I encourage everyone to do some research on why cannabis was made a crime. It all had to do with money. Hemp was going to destroy the oil and paper industries, and cannabis was a huge threat to the pharmaceutical industry. Lobbyists. That is why cannabis is illegal.
Anyone want to know where the term "marijuana" came from, and why it is actually a somewhat racist term? It was always called cannabis, until Harry Anslinger decided that cannabis was a threat to his income, so he created hype that Mexicans coming into the country illegally were smoking a new drug (which wasn't at all new) called marijuana, and that doing so made them crazy. He called it the most violence causing drug in the history of mankind, and used people of color as its main "users".
Long story short, everyone should do a little research. People have been lied to in this country for a long time, and all for money.
