Uruguay Senate To Vote On Legalizing Sale Of Marijuana

The legalization of cannabis is something that shouldn't even be necessary. The fact that we've viewed such a thing as possible only served to legitimize government's supposed right to take such an action without our consent. The fact that we've allowed this to go on for so long is what makes their ability to do so, continue to seem legitimate, when nothing could be further from the truth.

We are now learning exactly why they've kept cannabis illegal all these years. As one major debilitating disease after another is conquered from its use. Cancers, diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, Peripheral Neuropathy, high blood pressure, the list goes on and on and is growing almost every month.

It should be clear to even the most detached and oblivious among us, that this was no coincidence. The fact that cannabis serves as a direct threat to many major industries' very survival (energy, plastic, medicine, pharmaceuticals, just to name a few) is the reason our government to this day on the one hand holds that cannabis has no medicinal value and has even listed it as a Schedule I prohibited and addictive drug like heroin and cocaine -- while simultaneously holding the patent for a synthetic form of CBD (cannabidiol) used in the treatment and possible cure of Peripheral Neuropathy (at the least). This is neither acknowledge nor has the question ever been raised in any court of law that I'm aware of as a conflict of interest for the government to suppress and benefit for the same thing at the same time. Think of the savings alone from defunding the likes of the DEA, the Department of Justice and the Federal Prison System.

Another innocuous feature of cannabis is its ability to clean up our mistakes. Cannabis can be used in highly radioactive environment to help capture and sequester radioactive isotopes. Like at Fukushima. It cleans up oils and other chemical spills to help restore the habitability of these eco-systems. It can grow in the poorest of soils, leaving them enriched and fertile in its wake.

Cannabis was the petroleum of the Century of Discovery (or The Century of Genocide and Theft, if you prefer the truth). Without cannabis there would have been no sails no ropes to control those sails. It was food and medicine and clothing. It made the current world possible and then it was abandoned and declared persona non grata.

But it is now time to restore this plant to its former glory and place it back at the pinnacle of humanity's focus and desire to feed, help, serve and comfort each and everyone one of us. With cannabis many wrongs can be righted. Many illnesses averted or stopped in its tracks. We must let cannabis and ourselves be free.
