What I mean is Canada’s legalized it. Mexico’s legalized it, several states in the US have legalized it, but very few places elsewhere have legalized it outside North America.
Why is that? Why is it mainly just a North American thing?
Anyway I’ve heard that medically marijuana has really helped some people in great pain it’s just I really feel as though there needs to be far more oversight of the industry.
It’s far too easy to get a medical card. All you need is a state ID to apply for a card and you can just BS your way through and say you’ve tried all sorts of therapies and medications to treat depression and anxiety and they will take you at your word and you don’t have to prove a thing.
I mean my friend from Texas even outright told me he lied his way through and got the med card just so he could have cheaper and stronger quality marijuana available.
But I highly doubt he’s the only one who has done that.
Anyway, the medical stuff can be really strong to a point that’s just unsafe.
While there haven’t been any recorded deaths from marijuana, as I found out the hard way, that doesn’t mean you can’t overdose on it and experience high levels of pain for hours on end.
Hell I went to the ER and they even told me that medically there is no way for them to flush out marijuana from a person’s system if they take too much.
You just have to let time pass and experience the pain for however long that could be. Potentially over 24 hours as was my case.
But I find it ironic how when you go to buy tobacco products from the store there’s a million warning labels about all the health complications that might result from use but absolutely nothing of the sort exists with weed.
I mean as I described in my whole op-ed here, it’s possible to overdose on weed. Yet they don’t even have warning labels about it on their product.
And not just that but apparently the stuff they sell in stores nowadays is about 3x stronger than the stuff hippies were consuming in the 70s and 80s.
