"privatise our sexuality"
If that isn't a masturbation euphemism, it is now.

And no-one is "suppressing the knowledge of holistic medicine", it's just that "holistic medicine" is bullshit. Note: that does not mean that cannabis is not a useful pain relief.

"How you read this report is going to be clouded by how you feel about pot in general." Bingo.

No no new science here, though. No new studies. Just re-re-reviewing existing literature.

"We know almost nothing about the medicinal effects of smoked marijuana."

If that's true... then how much do "we" know about the effects of raw cannabis, complete with it's non-psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinolic acid? The large scale, peer reviewed method works far, far to slowly to be of any real use. It is too dependent upon those with enough financial funding to be considered an authority. If "we" finally perform the "right" study on cannabis, will that magically undo nearly 100 years of unjustified criminalization, untold millions of needless deaths, and pain and suffering?

Yes, I don't really smoke anymore but it's a fascinating plant! Most evolved plant on the planet. I worked on a remote, off-the-grid, non-profit cannabis farm in the Santa Cruz mountains last year, was a total blast. I loved feeding the little babies and watching them grow so quickly.

I'll stick with just the cannabis and skip the beer entirely then.

Hops (Humulus lupulus) are also closely related to the cannabis plant.

Ok, so I could not believe this was serious and had to do some research.

Hilariously, it is 100% real and was created by NSW goverment folks in Aussieland as anti-weed propaganda. It has gone viral, but it's suffered some setbacks:

1. The actual scientists that were supposed to back up the NSW psa ads, after seeing the actual ads, completely removed support for them.

2. The website actually was linking to stonersloth.com if you didn't type the URL exactly right. What is that website, you ask? Only an online cannabis store...

3. Mike Baird, the NSW Premier, was unaware of the ads. After seeing them, he posted "Just saw the #stonersloth ads, not sure where [they] found Chewbacca's siblings, but those videos are...quite something." Not a rousing sign of support from your boss, really.

Welcome To The First Church Of Cannabis has been added as a related post - related requested by PlayhousePals on that post.

No, because prohibition doesn't work.

Not for Alcohol.
Not for Cannabis.
Not for Guns either.

Should there be way fewer guns in general? Of course.

Should the process to obtain a gun legally be difficult? Of course.

Should LEOs be issued sidearms? FUCK NO.


Wanna hunt? Wanna shoot for recreation? Fine.

Just do it in a safe place.
Be properly trained.

Because:
"The only thing that stops a GOOD GUY with a gun"..

Is literally anyone else who wants a gun because they are ridiculous easy to get a hold of.

Funny you say that, because in the medical marijuana clubs here, they DO list the amount of cannabis, even separate levels of THC vs CBN, in the edibles. They also list the THC and CBN of the marijuana itself.
