12 Pros & Cons Of Marijuana Legalization

It’s been only almost six years since the first week of November 2012, when Colorado and Washington became the first two states in the Union to legalize recreational marijuana. It’s been only four-and-a-half years since December 2013/January 2014, when public sales of the wacky weed weren’t a criminal offense. Oh, how far we’ve come in such a short amount of time.

Now, nine states have laws on the books making recreational marijuana sales and use legal. A further twenty have legalized medical marijuana use, but have yet to address the recreational issue. So even though more than half of these United States have declared one form or the other of marijuana use legal, the federal government still views marijuana sales and use as on par with that of heroin or cocaine.

The states that have taken steps to legalize public pot sales can offer a whole list of benefits. The states—and the federal government—that haven’t decriminalized recreational and medical marijuana, are still holding tight to a list of disadvantages.

What are those pros and cons? Honest Marijuana has compiled the most common legalization of cannabis pros and cons here in one place for your edification.

What Is CBD?

CBD stands for cannabidiol. It’s one of a group of chemical compounds called cannabinoids. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is perhaps the best-known cannabinoid, but others include cannabigerol (CBG), cannabicyclol (CBL), and cannabicitran (CBT) just to name a few.

But we’re going to focus on CBD specifically because it is one of the key ingredients in cannabis and is revolutionizing modern medicine. Let’s look at a bit of deep science and see what makes CBD so special.

CBD, like THC, interacts primarily with the neurons in your brain. “What’s a neuron?” you ask. Good question. A neuron is a specialized cell found in your central nervous system (your brain and spinal column) that transmits nerve impulses.

These nerve impulses allow you to feel and think and breathe. In fact, your brain is composed of billions of neurons that all work together to make everything from your senses to your emotions possible.

Weed Tea History From Around The World

Weed tea is one of the world’s oldest medicines. In fact, there is a mountain of proof that cannabis has been used medicinally for thousands of years across huge geographical areas.

Four of the world’s oldest civilizations—China, Egypt, India, and the Caribbean—all used cannabis to treat illnesses and diseases. Let’s have a closer look at each culture and how weed was used.

China

Cannabis itself is found all over neolithic Chinese archaeological sites. That means it was already in use in one form or another between 10,000 and 2,000 B.C.!

The mythical Chinese sage emperor Shennong, who was said to have taught the Chinese agriculture and medicine nearly 5,000 years ago, is rumored to have first discovered the myriad textile, psychoactive, and health benefits of the hemp plant.

We say “rumored” because records from this time are sparse and unreliable. For all we know, the cannabis plant was a gift from the same aliens who built the pyramids and drew the lines at Nazca.

So though the origins of cannabis use are forever lost to the ravages of time, the concept of tea, or “cha,” is much more well-known. Here’s the generally-agreed-upon story: Tea was discovered by Emperor Shennong, who had his servants routinely boil his drinking water to make it safer to consume. A servant supposedly didn’t notice a leaf fall into the emperor’s boiling water, and Shennong himself allegedly didn’t notice that his water had turned brown until he discovered how refreshing the new drink was.

After that, Shennong became obsessed with tea. He eventually grew to be known for studying the properties of many plants, boiling them into teas, and experimenting with them on himself. Shennong’s cannabis tea was likely made from a combination of leaves and buds and recommended in the Pen Ts’ao Ching pharmacopeia for more than 100 afflictions, such as gout, rheumatism, malaria, and absentmindedness.

Unfortunately, Shennong died from eating the flower of a yellow weed that ruptured his intestines before he had time to swallow an antidotal tea. Despite this rather miserable death, Shennong is revered and worshiped as a medicine king in China for having sacrificed his life for humanity.

Egypt

There are several ancient documents recording the fact that cannabis was used medicinally thousands of years ago in what is now Egypt. A document known as the Ebers Papyrus, written around 1500 BCE, describes cannabis being used as a suppository to treat hemorrhoids. That’s not our favorite way to consume cannabis but, hey, whatever floats your boat. No judgment here.

Medical cannabis is mentioned in several other ancient Egyptian documents, including the Ramesseum III Papyrus (from c. 1700 BC), the Berlin Papyrus (c. 1300 BC) and the Chester Beatty Medical Papyrus (c. 1300 BC). These records all prove that cannabis was used as a medical treatment for various maladies, from glaucoma and inflammation to reducing the swelling of an inflamed uterus.

There have also been ancient remains covered in cannabis pollen found in Egypt. The mummy of Ramesses II was found covered in cannabis pollen, indicating he was buried with marijuana in the tomb. Experts believe this is evidence that cannabis was used to treat pain and was viewed as a medicine, rather than as a drug.

India

bhang tea

India, like China and Egypt, has a long and storied relationship with cannabis and cannabis products. In fact, cannabis is a sacred plant for Hindus, so cannabis products are held in high regard. Weed tea is no exception.

In India, this homebrew is known as Bhang. It’s is a strong psychoactive Ancient Indian weed tea made from crushed cannabis buds, leaves, milk, ghee butter, and typically spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves and a bit of sugar or honey — although there are many recipes.

Bhang was first used around 1000 BC and is still the official drink of the spring Holi Festival of Colors in India. Bhang is described as providing relief for anxiety in the Atharvaveda, and it is widely used in North India for fever, dysentery, sunstroke, phlegm, digestion problems, depressed appetite, and even for numerous speaking imperfections.

Sadus still use Bhang as part of their rituals in imitation of the god Shiva “Lord of Bhang” while meditating and practicing yoga to achieve transcendental states.

The Caribbean

Rastafarians use cannabis spiritually by smoking it as “herb” in joints and passing it in a circle while discussing and meditating on moral quandaries. But the cannabis use doesn’t stop there.

Many families throughout Jamaica and the islands use cannabis medicinally in the form of ganja tea. Ganja tea is commonly made from young plants that aren’t fully ripened for harvest. This usually makes it less potent than smoked herb.

Anthropologist Dr. Melanie Creagan Dreher’s study of rural working-class families in Jamaica also revealed cultural differences between smoking herb and drinking minimally-psychoactive ganja tea. All of the mothers in her study gave their children ganja tea to drink — often two to three times a week and sometimes daily — in order to help keep their kids healthy for the backbreaking farm work and school work they were subjected to.

This was in spite of warnings from teachers and school officials, and it just adds to the truth found in the old adage that mother knows best!

1. Never Have I Ever

Gather everyone together and make sure there’s enough ganja to go around. Roll a few joints, pack a few bongs, or have some blunts standing at the ready. Pick a person to go first. That person makes a simple statement starting with “Never have I ever…” followed by some action.

So, for example, someone might say, “Never have I ever been chased by a bear.” Anyone who has done or experienced that action takes a toke. The next person in the group (clockwise, counter-clockwise, zig zag around the room, whatever) makes a statement and the play goes on from there.
