   #cannabis -- The cannabis community, especially the former/current legalization campaigners and activists, and especially the medical marijuana users find the idea of "reefer madness" and the stupid and lazy stoner stereotype extremely offensive.
   We are responsible adults with careers, families, and responsibilities and we contribute to society.
   THESE STEREOTYPES ARE USED AGAINST US ALL THE TIME.
   It allows everyone to dismiss, ignore, and ridicule us. It prevents change to cannabis laws.

     Carl Sagan was a user and advocate of marijuana. Under the pseudonym "Mr. X", he contributed an essay about smoking cannabis to the 1971 book Marihuana Reconsidered. The essay explained that marijuana use had helped to inspire some of Sagan's works and enhance sensual and intellectual experiences.

     @jeffowski it's just as if not more offensive to struggling people to implicate that non-functioning people would be bad or worth less than other human beings. Makes ma wonder if "Church of Jeff" is an alias for "Church of Ayn Rand"

     @Magooish -- I'm a sufferer of extreme depression and anxiety. I went off all my meds in 2013 so that I could reset and found that cannabis worked great. It's been eleven years and am a constant consumer with no "High" at all.

     @jeffowski one of my favorite people in the universe is an every day almost constant weed user. He’s brilliant. He’s funny. He accesses parts of his brain I’d never be able to do myself.
     The weed keeps that access manageable. It helps him focus and cuts out the anxiety that comes with his brilliance. He’s beyond productive, he’s genius.

     @jeffowski I'm pissed the "cannabis" community is stuck in the "get high" category, when HEMP is fucking so superfuckinguseful. it's criminal that we don't industrialize hemp.

     @mousey --

     I'm trying to figure out how to get at all the "disposed" cannabis plants after harvesting so that I can make full hemp rope for BDSM Bondage rope, which is all imported from outside the United States currently.

     @jeffowski bruh, I'm not arguing that.

     what I'm arguing is.. the cannabis *community* only focuses on the getting high part. every HempFest I've ever been to has been about getting high, and related paraphenalia.

     I am YET to go to ANY cannabis conference that is about:
     - industrial or consumer textiles
     - fuels
     - feed
     - oils
     - paper products
     - cardboard products
     - medicines (other than CBD)
     - soaps, lotions, makeup
     - building/construction materials
     - paints or inks
     - coatings

     and so on.
