It was called the \u2018Medical Marijuana and Veterans Health Care Services Initiative,\u2019 or more popularly known as \u2018Amendment 2.\u2019 And with that, Missouri became one of 33 states in this good ole US of A to legalize the growth, production, distribution and sale of marijuana and its products for medical use.<\/p>\n<p>Tax proceeds are estimated to be $20,000,000 annually. Not that I\u2019m a cynic (okay, I\u2019m a cynic) but it will be interesting to see how much of that actually goes to improve health care for veterans. Or how much just goes into replacing already existing vet care budgets, and then gets thrown into general revenue. Kinda like the scam with the lottery and education funding. But that\u2019s a story for another day. Now this whole issue is really Ancient History, in the sense that there is evidence of marijuana and hemp as far back as 500 BC in Asia being used for herbal remedies. Apparently some wise Mesopatamian realized that this could have \u2018higher\u2019 uses, with the isolation of the compound tetrahydrocannibinol, or THC, the psychoactive property of the plant. Maybe more easily referred to as \u2018This Hemp Cwazy\u2019. And so it spread across the world. It might have all started in the Americas with those importers of small pox, the British colonists.<\/p>\n<p>At any rate, hemp was a very useful product in the New World (new to them, at least), one of the strongest natural fibers in the world. Enough of that, however. What does Amendment 2 mean to you and me? It basically means that there will be 192 dispensaries state-wide, 48 in the St. Louis region, selling products available by prescription only, in various forms, from oils to pills to cookies and Gummy Bears and\u2026 well, you get the picture.<\/p>\n<p>Guardedly, I see this as a good thing for those who have great pain that conventional medicine cannot relieve without debilitating and addictive and sometimes deadly side effects. It has proven to be a competitive and very lucrative industry. Surely, it will be so in MO. But here\u2019s my fear.<\/p>\n<p>Consider that 33 states have this already. And that 11 have legalized recreational marijuana. (Sorry, that term cracks me up! Do we have recreational beer? Of course. I digress.) So how long will it be until The Show-Me State jumps into that column? So what, you may be saying. Just chill, dude. Weed, pot, ganja, dope, chronic, bud, mary jane, burrito, skunk and many other slang terms, it\u2019s all harmless, man. Not so sure, Kemosabe.<\/p>\n<p>The weed, et al, that is out there these days ain\u2019t your daddy\u2019s dope. Studies show that the current stuff is high-octane THC. Consider that in my day, it was at 4%&#8230; today\u2019s skunk\u2026 up to 37%. Lots of debate on whether marijuana is a \u2018gateway drug,\u2019 one that leads to the use and abuse of other more powerful drugs. On one hand, those that say \u2018yes\u2019 point to the generally accepted fact that most people don\u2019t start on heroin as their first experience. And that once this minor weed high is felt, the tendency is to move on up the ladder.<\/p>\n<p>Those who say \u2018no\u2019 caution that it may not be the THC itself that starts the progression, that is, chemical\/physical addiction, but rather the behavior composition of the individual who takes the risk of a joint and then become a seeker of other curiosities in the psychoactive menu. Maybe these individuals are less inhibited, run through life on the edge, have other emotional issues not related to drugs at all, thus seeking release and relief. So far, doesn\u2019t seem to be a clear-cut answer. More research, as they always say, is warranted.<\/p>\n<p>But like any other mood-altering substance, like say, oh, alcohol, there are dangers. Starting early and up to age 25, THC can mess with the brains development. Long term or daily use can alter that chemistry, at any age. Possible psychosis and paranoia can develop. And smoking it, the currently preferred input model\u2026 well, heck\u2026 It\u2019s Smokin!<\/p>\n<p>Heart disease, lung cancer, stroke. Yeah. Any good news here? Amazingly, a very new study just out that was done from 1993 to 2017 and included 27 states and over 1.4 million high school kids, says that states that have legal marijuana laws have seen a drop in teen use. Seems that the supply is being controlled by the legally operating dispensers. I guess they\u2019re saying to the street pushers, \u201cthis bud is NOT for you.\u201d Bummer. Next up, cannabis oil, and can it keep my knee from waking me up at night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gummy Bears For What Ails Ya\u2019 By Tom Anselm It happened in November of 2018.
