Can you elaborate on this some? Do you mean that the effects of the drug itself caused you to have this realization, or that understanding the drug and what it does to people made you realize this?THC taught me that adults, or those in power, lie. They lie to accomplish specific goals, and further specific agendas that have nothing to do with the welfare of anything but a few wallets/bank accounts.
I think he means that he finds pot way less dangerous than alcohol, yet alcohol is legal due to factors like the alcohol lobby and giant companies spending money on political campaigns etc, and pot is illegal and there's a lot of government propaganda about how pot will ruin your life, etc. You're incredibly more likely to kill or seriously injure someone drunk than stoned.
OK this is largely how I interpreted the response as well, but I wanted to make sure. I've dabbled in a handful of drugs, and pot is still a part of my life, but I wanted to understand this perspective. It sounds relatable to me.
Both. After trying it for the first time, combined with my previous academic knowledge of its pharmacology, the racist/capitalist reasons it was originally made illegal, and the politidal forces (Private prison lobby) that are fighting to keep it illegal, I realized the latter. Subjectively, when under the influence, there are a lot of lessons learned.
I understand. I would describe my experiences similarly. I wanted to say that, while I think both are true, I've learned more simply by partaking in the drug, the culture, etc, than I have while high. That's not to say that I haven't had important and useful experiences or thoughts because of Marijuana.
