Cannabis induced Psychoses and the war on drugs

[Ferre]

Here's my take on all the media hype around 'cannabis induced psychosis' that has been going on lately. It's deliberate fear mongering and oldfashion demonizing which has somehow received new impulses from the powers-that-be and I think it's time to put things in perspective.

when I would describe an my experiences when I use high amounts of THC to a schrink they would have no problem at all to label the experiences I describe as symptoms of psychosis or other mental 'disorders'.

What is regarded as a real interesting experience exploring one's own mind by one person can be a frightening experience for another.

In my own 30+ years of experience with many different people who take entheogens for the first time I found out that it takes a free mind and a personality that doesn't carry too much luggage in the shape of indoctrinated frustrations and fears and the like to be able to enjoy the journey into one's own mind. People with fears and frustrations sometimes find those fears and frustrations amplefied and this can scare the hell out of them, while in fact it's their own thoughts and personality they really fear, those entheogens only open their eyes for themselves, which somehow for a part of our population is something they can't handle very well.

Here is a list of entheogens;

Each one of them has been used in spiritual/religious rituals since thousands of years by various cultures and are regarded as sacred plants by those cultures, each one of those has been targeted by the Abrahamic scripture followers ever since those scriptures and its followers exist and users of sacred plants have been killed and their possesions stolen, each one of those sacred plants is on the 'illegal substances list' and prohibition laws written and enforced by the followers of those same abrahamic scriptures in this day and age, in the old days, when the witch hunt began, the people were told that those who used the sacred plants became 'mad' and 'evil' and they were killed. Today, the public is told that those who use the sacred plants become 'psychotic' and 'criminals'.

It's a racist war againt non abrahamic cultures, it allways was and still is, and the general public is just too blind and poorly informed on historical and cultural anthropology to see what's really going on.

People think the inquisition and witch hunt on non Abrahamic believers ended in the middle ages, nothing is further away from the truth, people like me are hunted down all over the world as we speak, their properties are being stolen and their lives are being ruined while their children have to grow up in 'politically correct' invironments where they learn how to 'pray for their parents'.

If people only knew....

prntrkmt - Islam was enslaving Africa already before any Europeans started buying slaves from them. Which Popes enganged into this kind of reciprocity with the Muslim slave traders? And why should protecting the Holy Land from enslavenment have been helped by introducing slavery into Europe? Your allegations do not make sense, are there any sources that can confirm them?

Ferre - You´ll find a good explanation on the issue of fear in The High and Higher Still:
