Uh, that just contradicts what you just said in the rest of your post?

We have to get rid of superstitions that see opportunity (you said you see opportunities) instead of "spirits" (you said you don't see spirits in the plants)?

Yes, I'm a logic nazi, and proud of it.

Good point. I wouldn't be surprised.

No. You're right, good call! LOL

I did butcher what I was trying to say. I meant to say,
"But first... we have to get rid of false perceptions and superstitions that see "spirits" instead of opportunity for advancement."

Re: Can a plant be a "spirit"?

I found these videos to be interesting (though the claim that Jesus might have used it outside of it being a part of a healing ointment, I'd disagree with):

Re: Can a plant be a "spirit"?

Here's a list of the ailments, from the state of Ohio, whose symptoms that can be treated with marijuana:


Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS/HIV)

Alzheimer’s disease

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

Cancer

Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE, the degenerative disease most commonly found in football players and other athletes in contact sports)

Crohn’s disease

Epilepsy or another seizure disorder

Fibromyalgia

Glaucoma

Hepatitis C

Inflammatory bowel disease

Multiple sclerosis

Pain (either chronic and severe pain or intractable pain)

Parkinson’s disease

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

Sickle cell anemia

Spinal cord disease or injury

Tourette’s syndrome

Traumatic brain injury (TBI)

Ulcerative colitis
Various laboratories are discovering benefits relating to other conditions almost every month. Take in mind, this herb, used by ancient cultures in so many ways, can be grown...at home, even in one's back yard. Is it any wonder that the pharmaceutical companies heavily lobby to keep this God given herb listed as a controlled substance?
