I agree with a lot of what you say GreenDestiny. I don't however agree that cannabis is needed in the same way Vitamins are needed. If someone never had any vitamins they would get sick and die. If someone never had cannabis they could live a healthy life.
I believe the Herb to be a sacred sacrament, medicine, and tool. I also believe it is not for everyone. Vitamins are for everyone.
Another example is that young children that so beautifully live in the moment, speak exactly whats on their mind, cry, scream, laugh, and smile with no inhibitions, they do not NEED cannabis. Their bodies are complete without it.
Just because the body may produce cannabinoids does not mean that it needs extra added to it.
The brain also produces dimethyltriptamines, but we do not NEED DMT to survive.
It can be used to improve lives through medicinal usage, spiritual usage, and others, but i believe that humans are born with all the stress reducing, love inducing abilities right ourselves.
Sometimes its a lot easier to puff a spliff than to do and hour of yoga followed by an hour of meditation...or something like that.
