"I'm driving, girl! Your second-hand smoke is gonna get me high and we won't ever make it back home." If you have ever been the designated driver on America's after-hour roadways that line hits home for you. ACCORDING TO AGRIBUSINESS' BIG MEDIA... "the difference between cannabis and marijuana, is that cannabis is the genus while marijuana is the species. Both hemp and marijuana plants belong to the cannabis genus. In other words, all marijuana is cannabis, but not all cannabis is marijuana.

WHILE SCIENCE RESEARCH INVESTIGATES MANY ESSENTIALS OF FLORA, repeatedly in the light include are those with psychoactive side effects. Sidestepping locoweed, which is also being studied for its positive attributes, "We" tend to need something to alter our perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, or behavior to induce via imbibed chemical substances that change our mental state by affecting the way our brain and nervous system work. We want to be "different in mind." We want to escape the pain, stress, and frustrations of life; and the dizzying effect of living life if only to accomplish a health trick short of fainting. More recent studies have brought the cash crop business of CBD sales and use into America's mainstream with governmental support.

OUTLINE REFLECTING OUR PAST career of dealers leaning from windows pushing packets of "nickel bag and dime bag" smokes to a willing buyer and the "dealer" being rushed in on, knocked down, and cuffed before his or her eventual stance in a line-up on their way to jail or prison.. depending upon the level of involvement in the "drug deal" has gone under now that the American government has taken on the GODFATHER status in the deal. Government rolls in their "cut" of the top of the drug deal... on down to the user as is "apropro."

The American high

Fighting our enemies... ourselves. It is a hard battlefield to play or win on when we do not criticize ourselves on the same demerit held over the heads of others doing the same act effect. The effect of hanging ourselves out to dry is an embraced ordeal while the duplicate mannerism put upon us by another entity draws venomous response to the height of his death, imprisonment, or verbal public debasing. Brought to knee level in the conflagration arising around marijuana, we now free every criminal blamed for "doing us damage via drug activity." Now that they are set free for creating the "blindsight," who is the enemy but us? We want to use the drug they tricked us into... right?

Noriega, an authoritarian ruler who amassed a personal fortune through drug trafficking operations, he had long-standing ties to United States intelligence agencies before the U.S. invasion of Panama removed him from power. In 1988, Noriega was indicted by federal grand juries in Miami and Tampa on charges of racketeering, drug smuggling, and money laundering. The U.S. launched an invasion of Panama following failed negotiations seeking his resignation, and Noriega's annulment of the 1989 Panamanian general election. Noriega was captured and flown to the U.S., where he was tried on the Miami indictment, convicted on most of the charges, and sentenced to 40 years in prison, ultimately serving 17 years after a reduction in his sentence for good behavior, extradite to France then back to Panama for trials. Diagnosed with a brain tumor in March 2017, Noriega suffered complications during surgery and died two months later. Despite all efforts of diminishing drug availability to American by outside influences such as Noriega, high drug use and importation remains. The use of mules... "More than 100 older Americans have been arrested abroad in the last 16 months because of scams used by international drug traffickers to turn unsuspecting seniors into drug mules" ...persons who personally smuggle contraband inside their body or among personal effects... some willingly, others by force... across a border for a smuggling organization has become another uncontrollable practice subject to drug freedoms in America and abroad. The organizers employ mules to reduce the risk of getting caught themselves. Offering to cover all expenses, traffickers arrange the travel plans, which usually entail a layover in a foreign country. Here, the seniors are given packages or suitcases that they are asked to take to their final destination, another foreign country, or are implanted with drug stashes via various body cavities.

American Drug Dealers are typically faulted for the more harsh drugs put into the narcotics scene... cocaine and on a bottom feeder level, crack; both well above the marijuana and CBD fields.

OUR OSTRICH MENTALITY demand that we, as a nation and perhaps as humankind, seek the best means for pleasure during our individual lifetime. For so many, that means inebriation of the day-to-day... hour-to-hour observance of life. Our best effort continues to be hiding in and under the camouflage of reality; to hide from man's creation of all things "necessary" in today's lifetimes and lifestyles whether set in the role of the user or the giver of satiation. We dodge the effects of living life by using drugs of every type and category despite the broadcast warning of SIDE EFFECT or ADVERSE EFFECTS. The better drug to accomplish the hidden existence desired? Let it be the natural or GOD GIVEN RESOLVE. Herbal.

PERMISSION from the gods of government... It's time to stop pretending the war on drugs ever worked. And a bill from a few Democratic members in the United States Senate is a step toward that. They are intent on full decriminalization of smoking and selling marijuana.

DO IT YOURSELF MIND OPERATION with the blessing of our own government? Now, you can do it... I don't but you can "Do it your damsef."
