Use is NOT Abuse
The use of a substance is not of itself abuse; in the physical reality and by definition, to show abuse requires that the use of a substance maltreats the user in some way.
Cannabis is not only safe, but is actually beneficial to health
including long term use.
Its kind of like claiming someone is praying to much.
Prohibitionists have made it difficult for the non-specialist to
appreciate that any 'recreational' substance exists which can be
entirely without harmful effect, yet this is the definitive
categorisation within which Cannabis correctly fits.
Those who smoke Cannabis live on average
TWO YEARS LONGER then someone who does not smoke Cannabis, while those
who drink alcohol and smoke tobacco live on average 8 to 24 years LESS.
See the U.S. Jamaican, U.S. Costa Rican and LaGuardia long term studies
for the empirical facts.
Remember, if there was any
REAL danger, the government would be able to show it to you empirically
(not hypothetically or by using their own, grant-paid 'scientists'
(read prostitutes)). The fact that they cannot show you the harm
empirically means they are deliberately lying to remove your
freedoms
which is a crime against humanity that the government must be held
accountable for. We can never negotiate with the government until those
who implemented and enforced these tyrannical laws are brought to
justice.
