Jduffy i would put money on the fact i have more personal experience then you.
So let's ask if i have experience before assuming i am some kid.
You have no idea at all about this plant and are spouting misinformation, the male plant is not used to smoke because the male plant is hemp, used for food, clothes a green energy source etc. i eat hemp daily it has the perfect balance of omega 3-6 to sustain human life and is one of the best sources of food on the planet. It is one of the strongest fibres better then cotton, canvas even comes from the dutch for cannabis as it was used to make art canvases, ship ropes are normally made from the male plant aka industrial hemp. Male plant contains no resin therefore no THC/CBD
This is the myth, that what they do in morroco and pakistan is 'natural' and what we do is somehow not. Their hash often has levels of THC that are as high if not higher then 'skunk' as a resin can contain up to 100% THC where as a plant maxes out at around 30%. This arrogance about western practices perfecting strength beyond those people that practically specialize in making strong products, only difference is the levels of CBDs is increased in hash due to the process of making it (therefore less mentally unstable, hence why it is better IMO)
Are you joking? the cannaboids are not the only part that get you high hence why a women has been injected with pure THC laughed her nuts off for houses but when she received the second dose she was filled with paranoia etc. as tolerance built and there were no CBDs to balance her experience.(obviously you must take into account how strong it would be to have pure THC)
They smoke bud in jamaica so surely everyone will go crazy? NO because they grow with time and care with strains they have grown for years with good amounts of CBDs to balance the THC. Of course some western growers do this, but much is commercial and chases THC without much care for the CBDs, i believe the longer the resin glands are left to grow and cure also allows more CBDs tor replace THC.
CBDs main health benefit is the anti-psychotis properties that balance the THC so that smokers don't go loopy from occasional use, the reason you have mental problems is from abuse. smoking too regularly and no doubt skunk with high levels of THC compared to the CBDs.
THC is the molecule that causes cancer, and has the effect that gets you high the CBDs also get you a bit high but more the 'couch lock' type effect feels more narcotic and heavy,
Try some nice dark hash with plenty of CBDs, and you wouldn't be effected mentally in the same way.
Don't criticise me when you clearly do not know enough about the herb you abused and you definitely don't have as much personal experience as some here.
My comment about medicine was a sweeping one about the fact western medicine decided if you can see test something it is fine, but things like energy and the electro magnetic connection between the heart and brain is ignored, we have no energy, yet we think as sentient beings. Trying to come to terms fully with this means medicine labels you as wrong or crazy simply because it has not caught up. Did you know the heart sends 20 times more electric signals to the brain then vice versa, why if we are just physical robots? because there are two parts to every person it seems descartes (in my opinion) was right with his dualistic approach to people and it seems the pineal gland may actually be the seat of this connection as he stated, only science may or may not ever confirm this, but i won't be waiting around, ancient eastern medicine/philosophy has known much about our energy for years,
But please keep this thread about legalization, it seems you should go have a smoke and research a bit more if you want to criticise anything i have said.
Legalise and the problems with crime/cost and mental problems (due to lack of CBDs) all go away, look at canada where it is practically legal, very few problems over there.
