The Cannabis plant has been a strong ally and teacher in my life. I know for a fact that I wouldn't be where I am today had I not taken that first toke. I've seen a thousand strange things and experienced layer upon layer of growth and understanding all because of a plant. Time after time I've seen this plant work wonders. Two gangs sitting down to smoke a bowl in the name of a truce, loggers in Northern Canada sitting down with treefolk having a good time and just plain comradery and agreeing not to cut a certain section of the forrest (yeah, that's a miracle), turning a short ride into a long one on a hitchhike and watching somebody drop society like a bad batch of milk because they got 'high', I can't even remember all the minutae of the experiences surrounding this teacher. She's been around us for a few thousand years, raised revolutions, driven people to explore, given humanity a breath of hope and an undeniable peace of mind at times. She moves in places I could never go, nor even understand, she gives us a taste of true freedom and lets us go down that road. Then there's the male. First off , personally, thank you man plant for giving me money on the road when I was eating out of garbage cans, sleeping in heat grates, and trying to get the fug out of town because they wanted to throw me in jail. You made many a fine piece of jewelry and the people dig you for it. Thank you for providing me with a piece of rope that lasted three years and helped me set up numerous shelters from rain, from snow, even from the blazing heat. You helped to protect me and even clothe me (most stylishly). Hemp oil, hemp clothes, hemp nutrients,hemp ropes,...HEMP. If the male was walking and talking, he'd be one resourceful bad ass. I'm tired of playing small. I'm tired of not giving true props where they're due. I'm tired of the bullshit. It's time we raised that flag up again. Raise up and show our colors. yeah, I'm high.... and I'm HAPPY about it, matter of fact I'm downright elated that we have this gift from nature. Let's use it. What's your two cents? What has cannabis done for you? What thank-you's do you have?
I'm a military brat so I've moved tons and lsot friends and gained friends but one friend of always had is marijuana. She comforts me when I'm down and Makes me estatic when I'm happy. Mary J has been there for me when ive been depressed and Mary J has been there to help me celebrate the good times, the high times. I've alwys been scrawny but thanks to Mary J and the munchies I'm starting gain wieght that I can make into muscle Thanks marijuana!
I don't know of any instances in particular where I've seen Marijuana cause camaraderie among former enemies, but it certainly helps me relax after a long day of working under the control of a moron who dropped out of school in the 10th grade. I don't really have that problem anymore, but Marijuana was there for me when I was stressed out and did have a shit job, working for some moron. I don't know of any revolutions being started because of Marijuana, really, but I'll take your word for it. lol I never used Marijuana when I was depressed because I don't like the idea of self-medication. Repression is not the way to go about dealing with your problems. Really pretty much all Marijuana has done for me was give me a good high when I felt like being stoned, but hey, that's all I asked of the plant. And ofcourse, Marijuana helped me unleash my full potential as a human being. Now if only I could buy a vaporizer, I would eliminate the respiratory disease issue. And it would be a win-win.
Pear Tree, that was beautiful. Well said. I thank this wonderful plant for helping me realize who and what I am (and it is still helping me do so), and for moving me along my spiritual path, for which it has proven a very useful tool. I thank it for the many insights and for the many relaxing nights I've spent with it. I thank it for helping me understand what good music really is and can be, for helping me see the essence of a painting or a story, for helping me see the intent behind it and the story it tells. Thank you, Cannabis plant, you are truly an amazing herb.

My life was empty, forever on a down Until you took me, showed me around My life is free now, my life is clear I love you sweet leaf, though you can't hear Come on now, try it out Straight people don't know, what you're about They put you down, and shut you out You gave to me, a new belief And soon the world, will love you sweet leaf.
