seems to me our present politicians are in this group. yet there is NO CHANGE!
thus, I 'm wondering if the present restrictions on cannabis are because politicians who once smoked are REALLY FRIGHTENED anyone might find out and it will blow their 'respectable' cover?
and in regard to epiphanies and such ... seems to me cannabis allows a certain silencing of thought ... and that lateral thinking sometimes fills the silence.
I mean, have you noticed that there has to be silence before there is understanding?
or put another way: mental silence is necessary for understanding to blossom ... and cannabis contributes to silencing one's usual train of thoughts ...
anyway, that's how my process seems to work.
cheers ...
With 18 States and DC now allowing medical marijuana and 2 allowing recreational marijuana I'd have to disagree that nothing is changing. Maybe not as fast as we might like but it's changing. Besides, that flood is just now starting give it another 10 years and we'll see.
