I came up with fact or fiction because of everything I have been reading, learning that most of what I hear on the NEWS is fiction. It has me wondering about much. Yes, I guess I am naive in a few ways. Or rather - I was un-educated/ignorant on the topic of Cannabis. Now, I am no where near an expert- LOL - BUT I have learned enough to realize that there is much more to this than a plant. If you watch media when ever they talk about cannabis users they show images of "hippies, lazy kids, -your stereotypical stoners " I personally know so many different people who ALL smoke cannabis. They come in every walk of life. Rich, poor -educated, young, old ... * as a matter of fact I recently read in Europe mostly- it is the educated who smoke Cannabis and children of parents who are successful- who smoke cannabis. I think because they grew up treating it like the harmless plant that it is and realize that is IT definitaly ONE of the safest recreational drugs available. I know professionals, soccer moms, police officers, hard working hubby's (NOT mine- he is not a fan of cannabis and prefers a pill when he is ill.. his choice - I'm working on him) ;-)
What I am trying to say IS there is NOT one person that you can use to portray someone who smokes Cannabis.
DO NOT judge a book by it's cover.
So funny -(NO, NOT REALLY) how they always seem to show the same sort of person when the topic of Marijuana is covered. Quite frankly, I for one am growing tired of the misleading and insulting images used. Insulting because It is my son's medicine and he is no 'stoner'. Do they portray people who use morphine like this? No they portray them as sick patients who deserve compassion. If Cannabis is your medicine then you too deserve the same respect. I am PROUD my son uses Cannabis for his pain. LOUD & Proud people.
YOU deserve the right to be healthy and happy!!!
