RE: Marijuana is a Medicine, Stop Calling it a Drug

in #marijuana7 years ago

While I agree with this in theory(free up the herb,) as someone in a rec state, who actually helped make that happen, avoiding calling cannabis a drug isn’t a problem. It is a drug. This is a fact. So are the drugs that stop heart attacks and strokes and save people’s lives, along with cancer drugs. The real problem is use of the word “marijuana.” I personally found that I get taken much more seriously when I call it either “medical cannabis,” “recreational cannabis,” or if no need for context, just “cannabis.” I’m guessing you know the history of the word “Marijuana”(if not google it. It’s not hard to find.) It’s another part of the propaganda, that people continue to propagate every time they use the word.
