Why legal marijuana makes sense : Comments

By David Leyonhjelm, published 25/6/2018

The ban on cannabis has dubious origins, having been the victim of a nearly century-long smear campaign launched by US anti-drug crusader Harry Anslinger in the dying days of alcohol prohibition.

As Freud points out in his book “the interpretation of dreams”, it's not the important point, what is remembered of a dream, it's what is forgotten, that holds the key to interpretation.

As with this totally unreliable author, the truth lies somewhere between dusk and dawn.

Indeed David.

And if the ban on anything is more illogical, it has to be the prohibition on thorium power.

And many terminal illnesses would cease to be terminal if they but had access to Miracle cures (proven western medicine) like bismuth 213.

Which the west has been able to make since the sixties! Or if you will, for over half a century!

Look, bismuth213, an alpha particle isotope that's attached to an antibody, is the highly accurate, fifty cal sniper rifle against cancer!

As seen in numerous European trials around 2006 efficacious against death sentence ovarian cancer, where reports included, no significant damage to surrounding healthy tissue and 400 times more effective than previously trialled, beta particle, (scattergun approach) oncology radiation.

Reportedly it has also been successfully trialled against death sentence cancers like myeloid leukaemia, allegedly incurable pancreatic cancer and some very nasty, inoperable brain cancers.

The latter taking more lives annually than the total road toll, even as incompetent, ILL-INFORMED pollies literally sit on their collective hands, David. And hardly a new or recent phenomenon!

However and to return to topic, if there was an age limit of 25 and older, most of the accompanying psychosis would be evident and hopefully treated before marijuana made it worse?

The effect of medical marijuana is already well known and should have been legal a long time ago as should be currently prohibited thorium power.

Because thorium is converted to U233, which is the single source of Bismuth 213. Thorium>U233>bismuth213! UNDERSTAND!?

Which is made elsewhere in an incredibly limited amount to make this comparatively common MIRACLE CURE isotope millionaire medicine.

And here the alleged medical fraternity ignorant to the point of arrogantly dismissing it as alternative or complementary medicine?

Listen, you'd destroy the huge profit curve of big pharma if we started to cure terminal (managed) illness!

And because this is so, I believe, preside over an unnecessary annual death toll that literally puts the road kill death toll in the shade by comparison!

What do we need to get you people to listen and act? A Noble prize?

Maryjane is both not as dangerous as people think and not as wonderful a medicine as advocates would have you believe.

However, there is no justification for banning it, as it is less harmful than either tobacco or alcohol.

SM

Many people have addled their brains with weed, my granddaughter being one of them. I agree with you on alcohol, the most dangerous of all because it is legal and socially acceptable.

Marijuana doesn't cause the psychosis ttbn, just amplifies what is already there. And just missing but essential brain chemistry.

And more than obvious following puberty and well before the brain is fully developed, around age 25.

So, prohibition, which has never ever worked, hasn't stopped the production or use of any illicit drug. The war on drugs is over 80 years old, no closer to stopping or preventing the sale or use of any of it!

In spite of trillions thrown at this problem and prison cells bulging with addicts and petty crims/drug users and pushers.

One would think that harsh penalties and or death sentences would have stopped the illicit trade! But to date, it has just driven it underground and cost more lives than the death toll from WW11!

Our law enforcement would be better occupied against real crime and real criminals!

A lot or the drug-related crime would just disappear if we but took a more rational approach like that used against legal addiction be it tobacco or alcohol! And by education that begins very early!

If the others were legal but taxed and regulated, we could finally crack down on crack or ice! And by icing the pushers and purveyors of this particular poison! Mandatory castration might succeed where other methods have failed?

Or a prefrontal lobotomy that reduces the individual to little more than a robot doing as he/she is told!

I mean there are far worse terrifying fates than death and might succeed where the death sentence has clearly failed.

If we but concentrated solely on ice and eradicated it and its pushers, we'd have a far more harmonious cooperative society, where education alone could eliminate all the other illicit drugs over time.

Without costing lives or a fortune of taxpayer's money! Which instead could be diverted to bulk up our minuscule defence budget!
