Is Cannabis From Outer Space? Laughable Misinformation on Cannabis.

in #weedcash5 years ago

Is cannabis from another world? Are little green men smoking it on a world far away? Did cannabis pollen drift to Earth from an asteroid. These ideas are all patently false, and are misinformation akin to "reefer madness" hysteria of the 1940's and 1950's.

Cannabis evolved in the high plateaus of Tibet. Science fiction claims involving extraterrestrial origins are fun, but ultimately take attention away from legalization efforts.

The rumors, myths and urban legends about Worlds covered in cannabis or alien DNA descending on Earth are science fiction. We have 5000-years of history regarding cannabis and hemp cultivation and use in medicinal, industrial, ceremonial and recreational usage. This misinformation may threaten legalization and science efforts. Let's keep it offical.

Marijuana enhances our mind in a way that enables us to take a different perspective from 'high up', to see and evaluate our own lives and the lives of others in a privileged way. Maybe this euphoric and elevating feeling of the ability to step outside
the box and to look at life’s patterns from this high perspective is the inspiration behind the slang term “high” itself

I personally believe human history goes much further back than mainstream science would like to admit. Accepted science is full of misinformation and blatant lies. The true origins of humanity and cannabis are nowhere to be found in mainstream science. My dad, who studied ancient civilizations, believed that we came here to earth from space and brought cannabis with us. Maybe you think that’s crazy, I think it’s just as likely as anything else. ✌️

I can definitely agree that I don't know everything and concede this could be the case. My beef is with mainstream and pseudoscientific news really running with this over medicinal science. I agree it could be that we and cannabis came from space. Who knows?

I have always thought that at least the Chinese came from another planet... So you could have a point there! :-)
