End Cannabis Prohibition

When you start to see the illegal ice drug network to expose it, I found also the healing benefits of the drugs Cannabis, Cocaine, Heroin were in medicines in the 1800's and early 1900's.

What happened?

Power of Money.

Fred wrote  Cannabis is a multi billion dollar market in Australia, bigger than many leading industries yet we seem happy to pretend it doesn't exist. Politicians say that there is not enough evidence about the harm profile of cannabis yet millions of Australians have been using it regularly for decades.

"Aussies spend roughly $3.2 billion per year on pot, even though it is illegal to possess the drug across the country." - Author

In nominal terms, the Rand Corporation *estimates* that Aussies spend roughly $3.2 billion per year on pot, even though it is illegal to possess the drug across the country. Penalties for marijuana use vary from state to state, with some jurisdictions issuing fines for those caught with small amounts, while getting caught in others might lead to mandatory treatment.


 The list of diseases treated may seem familiar. That was 145 years ago.
CIGARETTES OF CANNABIS INDICA.
Medical Times and Gazette. Medical News; Oct 1870; 28, 334;
"The cigarettes of Cannabis Indica, made by Gremault, of Paris, have been found most efficient in the treatment of affections of the organs of respiration and circulation, no less than in affections of the central and peripheral nervous system. The unpleasant effects which so often follow the internal and subcutaneous use of opium and of Cannabis Indica are not produced by the cigarette. There use is recommended (1) in spinal neuroses, and epilepsy; (2) in neurosis of the sensory nerves, neuralgia of the teeth, branches of the fifth pair, the sciatic nerves; (3) neuroses of the motor nerves, spasm of the throat air passages; (4) affections of the sympathetic nerves, hysteria, and other diseases not attended with plethora, and congestion of the head, heart, or lungs. They are especially useful in asthma, peruses, spasm of the stomach and intestinal canal, nervous palpitation of the heart, and exert a quieting influence over the whole nervous system."
