Should the federal government legalize marijuana in the US?
Drugs have been a topic of debate for many years . They were used in the past for medical and spiritual purposes, but why did they become demonized and illegal? Even cocaine was one of the main ingredients in the popular Coca-cola drink, and morphine was used in World War II among soldiers for medical purposes. Jennifer Lawler writes that the word drugs means different things for medical professionals, which consists of medications used to treat diseases, while for police officers drugs are illegal substances that alter a person’s moods and personality (9).

Hi. I’m Mary, and I’m a stoner. It really took me years to admit that I was not just a smoker. I had graduated to pothead when I really had given my last F*@!. I am also a mom and have a professional career. I am private about my title of Marijuana Connoisseur, and only select people get to know.
My Secret Garden
Chapter 2 - Strangers in Public Places A crooked-headed cat sat under Jaye’s chair. Jaye sat with her coffee cup, writing tablet, pens and pencils, watching the leaves swirl around the yard. A storm was passing by the peninsula, headed for the northeast. New York and New Jersey were in for some rough weather - rain, waves, wind and snow. It looked as though West Virginia and parts north were going to see an early snowfall.
Jacqueline GabriellePublished 3 years ago in PotentWhy I'm so Interested in Cannabis
I’m not going to lie, I wasn’t always into cannabis. It was mostly because my straight laced parents made it out to be such a taboo substance. When I had tried it from time to time in my hometown, I would get very paranoid that I was going to get caught and arrested and I would have a terrible time. I know that most of the paranoia stemmed from my anxiety but it was also true that I didn’t know what strain I was smoking. In fact, I didn’t even know strains existed until I moved to the west coast.

I’ve never done any illicit drugs, although I’ve come close. Once when I was nineteen, a girlfriend begged me to smoke with her, and so I put my mouth around a strawberry flavored joint, ready to experience any sort of high. But I couldn’t bring myself to light the damn thing. My girlfriend was disappointed—she was not one of those people who liked getting high alone. My doubt made her doubt me, or something like that.

Cannabis is just a flower. Yet our stars nature it showers. For the meek it does empower! It has many ways to be used. A light so sacred don’t abuse. It knows the truth of what we choose. This sacred herb does love to teach. Into our hearts it tends to reach. Sol’s true, pure souls can hear its speech. When we listen there’s much we learn. For its aroma we do yearn. Toward the true spirit we do turn. Cannabis is not just a plant. Those who think so are just ants. Some love to listen, some do rant. We don't take cannabis lightly! Sol does know his plants thoroughly. Each one has personality.

Many people do not realize that Canada has a very unique culture compared to the United States. One of the many differences is that Canada has a "liberalization" approach when it comes to cannabis use, unlike the United States, which has a restrictive and prohibitionist stance on the drug. The idea behind legalized cannabis dispensary in Vancouver , Canadian provinces and territories is to reduce crime related to cannabis use. Additionally, Canadian provinces have also taken steps to legalize possession of small amounts of cannabis for personal use.

Okay Mary Jane, Cannabis, Weed, Pot, and by the many more name's this plant goes by and has been a part of my life since a freshmen in high school.

Just like everyone else, 2020 was a tough year for me. I went from losing my job, to losing my girl, to almost losing my hair. Okay, I was going bald, but I was going to have to cut my locs and start the process over. I wasn’t ready for the stress. And last but not least Covid-19.
Timothy MosesPublished 3 years ago in PotentI Just 'Juana Smoke
I was always a good kid I never smoked, drank, partied, did drugs, snuck out. I was always at home at a good time, always went to school, and had very few friends who also caused no trouble. My parents "raised me right" according to themselves.

I admit it sounds scandalous, but debauchery isn’t the right word for it. It’s just fun. I was aboard one of three luxury stoner-fied tour buses that left Cheba Hut sandwich shop in downtown Denver one lovely morning a few years ago. We embarked on a four hour and twenty minute tour (yes, 4:20).
David HeitzPublished 3 years ago in PotentThe Hemp Industry (Still) Has an Image Problem
I volunteered at a hemp industry conference a couple of years ago and noticed a deep divide between some of the people there. In Vermont, there were are around 900 hemp farms registered in 2019 (that number went down in 2020). The industry was in the middle of its bubble and getting a lot of attention from people who viewed it as a possible way to make some quick cash.
