4/20: The Day of Cannabis

Yesterday, quite by chance, I watched in connection with this the truly strangest film ever. It was a movie intended to make a statement about cannabis, and it actually prompted me to research a specific topic. For the opening credits reveal exactly what this cannabis film is all about.

It was released in 1936.

This ties in perfectly with the "376-DNA Theory," which in this pivotal "node year" demonstrates that cannabis has been an integral part of our society and era for the last 20 years.
The theory posits that during these specific "emotional blocks" of time, cannabis enjoys immense popularity. However, immediately following these "node years," society invariably transforms into a collective of cannabis haters. These idiots who today seek to dictate how we should live attempt to exert their control even during these emotional periods, but they ultimately fail.
They are attempting to dominate the cannabis industry by trotting out washed-up celebrities. Naturally, they only promote the "heavy-hitter" strains the ones that leave you glued to the couch... I wonder what exactly we're supposed to be doing there?

No one talks about Sativa; even the pharmacies have specialized almost exclusively in the heavy-hitting strains Hybrids and Indicas.
Indica acts primarily as a body-centric medicine or a recreational relaxant useful for things like sex, for instance. But for daily consumption, it simply leaves you feeling tired and sleepy precisely the effect that seems to be favored when it comes to cannabis.

Bloomwell is at the very forefront of this trend, offering up dirt-cheap, heavy hitting stuff. Meanwhile, Sativa strains have become increasingly scarce and expensive?! True, Sativa takes a bit longer to grow but that is hardly a valid reason why there are almost no 100% Sativa strains left, and why the 70/30 blends are also rapidly disappearing.

Sativa sparks new ideas and creativity within us something that, I am quite certain, strikes fear into the hearts of many corporate bigwigs. Just imagine the terror they must feel at the thought of someone else coming along and doing their job better than they do! Or starting a rival company that poses a serious threat stealing a slice of their pie, or worse. It all boils down to one thing: keeping the existing business machine running, no matter how absurd or stupid the process becomes.
Yet, change and adaptation are the true hallmarks of intelligence. But when these generative ideas are interpreted as "left wing ideology" well, then everyone plays along. Whether you’re a celebrity or a local pharmacy.

But now, back to the film...
It was sheer madness; I have never seen anything dumber.
They were drinking like lunatics, and the people who initially looked like secret agents turned out to be the dealers who "inconspicuously" infiltrated the party crowd.
These dealers then got the women hooked on cannabis. The women laughed like maniacs the entire time, and by the end, the dealers were selling the stuff to women who felt they *had* to get a fix and fast.

I have never seen a more absurd attempt to demonize cannabis.
On top of that, they are smoking and drinking in almost every single scene.
Still, it was interesting to see how they "switched gears" mentally back in those days.
Cannabis is and will remain an integral part of our society.
We just need to learn how to use it responsibly.
