Cannabis is the most commonly used illicit drug worldwide and the pattern of usage has been steadily increasing over the past 40 years. This is why the Beckley Foundation has initiated an extensive research program investigating the effects users find beneficial, the efficacy of cannabis in medical use, and the opposite effects of the most significant compounds found in cannabis, THC and cannabidiol (CBD)

The concept of what is illicit is is only in the eyes of Governments and imperialists that have the desire to control every person and every dollar. This illicit misconception was most probably started by the US Government’s [United Nations] to control the world using ‘drugs’ as an excuse and leverage.
To the person that smokes pot, it is not an illicit ‘drug’… it’s just weed, a normal part of every day life. A cup of coffee, a slice of bread, a breath of fresh air….
We do not understand why anyone could even think that Cannabis is bad in any way..
Who are these people that say it’s bad?

on selection of stress reducing varients.
