Hummm...

The thought spontaneously occured to me, reading this title, that the original Star Trek series of Gene Roddenberry actually depicted alcohol as something of great value using silent body language in its "The Trouble with Tribbles" episode. Then in Star Trek TNG that same author gave moral lessons over "drugs" and "addiction".

Now, since there's mention of Public Institutions and their installed gurus perpetuating such unbalanced approach to consumption habits and "disorder" profiles, i dare ask this simple question: what if the "harm" of cannabis (e.g. "dope" i know-1st hand), to begin with, actually results from mis-guided 3rd-party interference denying a most basic human need to experiment and learn by trial & error??

What if cannabis appreciation requires "filters" to be acquired exactly during this period when doctos & friend$ warn us that it destroys the brain below 25-yr old or so?... What if the effect of a succession of socio-toxic laws ultimately ended up with a generalized 1st-time exposure to extreme vilification, eventually transmitted to more young people and hence turning them into self-vilification agents! What if the "Harm" is nothing but a void of alternatives to systematic dose abuse, never leaving any room for healthier ways except total perpetual abstainance?...

My reasoning is that music must be learned through trial & error before people can start leading orchestras, etc. Nobody can hope to change into a maestro if they never cared for music before 25 i think, it's when the mind still has its "plasticity" that new skills get learned best, so if that's also true of cannabis (and possibly other substances) then the real effect of prohibitionist ideologies made law is to deprive future adults from a durable protection against vilified habits, provided healthy models were available when needed most in the 1st place and that's about initiation i believe. Which all too often is bound to be clandestine IMO.

So, what if adults in panick actually cause more permanent prejudice by disproportionate trauma, while alcohol is being deified on cable TV?...

But i don't suppose that's even on the table, to just mention such matters might as well get perceived as a crime. It wouldn't be surprizing in days when governments want to cease control of the internet while shaming anti-cannabis adds paid by public money are dispatched throughout the nation, right before a 15 minutes "connoisseurs" editorial on craft beer and so on!

Good day, have fun!!
