marijuana as an essential item

How Essential is Weed Really? Pretty Damn Essential!

I really try not to mention the current pandemic – however, it’s pretty difficult with virtually EVERYTHING tainted with “the pandemic that shalt not be named”. The only reason I am forced to even reference it is because during all of the mayhem – cannabis dispensaries and delivery services were deemed “essential” and are allowed to remain open when plenty of other businesses were forced to close up shop – at least for the time being.

Nonetheless – this marks a “historic point in time” for US Cannabis as the government were unofficially forced to declare cannabis an “essential”. They couldn’t call it a commodity nor a vice – because the demographic of consumers are so diverse that any classification other than essential would have created political upheaval.

It’s important to REMEMBER THIS MOMENT! Don’t let it slip back into the collective subconscious where politicians will drag out legalization until the next major event.

Nonetheless – politicians were forced to face the facts that cannabis is an essential and should be a HUMAN RIGHT. Every cannabis law that prohibits a human being from consuming a plant that provides cannabinoids to help balance a human’s own “endocannabinoid system” – should be considered a crime against humanity. Similar to how we cannot have “pro slavery laws” on the books – neither should we have “prohibition laws” on the books since they follow the same principles as slavery – or in other words, “you do not own your body!”

Here’s why cannabis is a human right and not just some consumable like beer.

Cannabis is a medicine

Whether you like it or not – the fact of the matter is that cannabs is an FDA approved medicine, even though they don’t really want to admit it. Of course, the only compound currently “approved” by the FDA is CBD under the medication “epidiolex” – but the fact of the matter is that they have known about the curative properties of cannabis for decades.

Don’t believe me?

The FDA has approved Marinol in 1985. Marinol – for those who don’t know, is a synthetic version of THC which is based in sesame oil. It is prescribed for treating nausea, vomiting and appetite stimulation. In other words – they have had available data on cannabis and cannabinoids since 1985 [at least]. The question I have – what have they been doing for 35 years with your tax dollars?

They have been playing the political game with the DEA, and not working on providing you with medical information about drugs. The fact of the matter is that the FDA knows that cannabis is medicine, and at times when things are shut down – it’s better to have access to medicine. In this case – cannabis.

Cannabis is a pacifier

Another important aspect of cannabis relates to the “dreaded euphoria” that lawmakers fear so much. Currently, that euphoria is the great pacifier. In China – after the “pandemic that shalt not be spoken” de-escalated, and people were allowed to go back to business as usual – a staggering amount of divorce petitions flooded the home offices.

People were in each other’s faces – smelling each other’s dirty laundry and unpacking their emotional baggage for everyone to see.

Cannabis is one of those substances that will allow people to relax, even in uncomfortable situations like the one we are living through. The other day I wrote an article about “how cannabis keeps you sane in a mad world” and it’s true. Cannabis allows people to take a moment and see things from a different perspective.

When you’re going through global events like the ones we are living through – sparking a bowl definitely takes the edge off. If you are having emotional spouts with family members – due to a prolonged proximity exposure – smoking a bowl can help people be a bit more understanding.

I’m certain that cannabis has helped de-escalate several conflicts over the past few weeks and will continue to do so for the next few weeks to come. Hopefully, with all this forced reflection – people can come to the realization that cannabis is indeed an ESSENTIAL.

When people consume cannabis “recreationally” they are technically still consuming “medical cannabis”. This is true especially since cannabis helps diminish stress, anxiety and depression.

It’s time to wake up

Hopefully – we will all band together once this madness ends and demand that cannabis be removed from the CSA. I’m not talking about legalization – I’m talking about recognizing that it is a human right and that all of this “drug prohibition” nonsense, has done absolutely nothing to make us safer.

If anything – we can see that cannabis is more than just a whim of stoners trying to get high. It’s something that is providing an essential service in keeping everyone cool during the apocalypse. Hell – most stoners I know are as cool as cucumbers.

How about you? How essential is weed for your forced reflection?
