THC in cannabis is a drug...it is the substance upon which consuming causes the effects of inebriation...cannabis is a plant within the plant is delta 9 thc...a drug...as such nicotine in tobacco is a drug...but tobacco itself is a crop or a plant.
when i read that they were attempting to clean up and make bad weed disappear and the next thing you knew was all the bud was sandy or moldy with some sorta poisonous mold I've never seen before my conspiracy theory brain kicked in, as it does too often.
cigs are laced with chems to boost addiction and speed up death..in my opinion, like population control..
marijuana legalization would be a partnership with cig companies and nothing would be pure and the quality levels would have a ceiling...
it's potentially safer being a black market without the aforementioned mold inception and the filth hands of corp. and govt. grasping the market making money, becoming rich beyond rich while they weed us out, no pun intended.
i think if marijuana was legalized, the black market we know of would remain and be more popular than otc marijuana.
