I mentioned the aura readers just because someone else did to put down cannabis and I wanted to say these people see lots of things and you actually shouldn't go by that either way.
I wanted to point out that our society is bipolar regarding drugs. Antidepressants help some people, but also have many physical side effects plus the well known clouding over of the personality and emotions for many people, plus a study I saw last week saying that certain antidepressants in fact didn't have any benefit at all, plus the overprescription of antidepressants to children and to low depression patients who could be treated other ways, YET despite all this we still find a way to get antidepressants to people who need them... but mention cannabis and immediately scenes from reefer madness come to mind and teh possibility that some people will have negative effects means hundreds of thousands of americans are in jail. I'd like to see more equality in how we view pharmaceutical versus non pharmaceutical drugs.
