Things I have discovered about #cannabis.

A thread:
I'll be going back and forth copying links and adding tweets. This thread will expand over time. Please check back for additional information.
The first uses I discovered for cannabis were as a catalyst for my gnosis and a tool of self exploration, as detailed in this thread.

After two years of regular use I suddenly discovered I could write music. It was not a skill I possessed prior. I'm not writing symphonies, just bass lines like the ones that got me into playing.

For nearly two decades I had a terrible fungal infection in my feet. Oral and topical medication for years had little to no effect. Huge callouses, nails falling off, numbness, I had no idea how to get rid of it.
On a hunch, I decarboxylated some cannabis in coconut oil and began soaking my feet in it. Within days the numbness disappeared. It took many months of treatment but eventually all the infection was gone, nails grew back, callouses normal.
Late last year I had a sleeping disorder and stomach issues from medication I had come off. I was using metamucil and probiotics and dealing with the sleeping problems. I thought I'd just have to deal with it.
The borders opened up and I did a cannabis run after many months off it. I partook and went to bed.

The sleeping problems vanished as did the stomach problems, overnight. They've not been issues since.
These are just the things I've discovered, sample size n=1. Anti carcinogenic. Anti seizure. Appetite enhancer. Pain reliever. The list is long.

#EndTheGodDamnedDrugWar

The criminalization of this wonder drug is a crime against the species.

It's time to end the drug war. It's time to remove the prohibition from one of the most beneficial plants in existence.

Please retweet and share. Thanks for reading.

My gnosis.

A thread:
This is the story of my gnosis. It is available from the link in my bio, but I'd like to detail it a bit more here.

It was mid 1999. At this point I was effectively atheist. Technically agnostic, but I didn't sweat it. I was unconcerned about God.
I had spent my youth extricating myself from evangelical Christianity. I viewed all religions as the same. I'd taken the best of Christianity, discarded the rest and was just living my life unconcerned with such matters.

#Morality is subjective and relative. What is good for one is evil for another. A yardstick is required.

Some would use their holy books in that capacity. That is a terrible idea. Such texts are replete with moral and logical errors.

A thread:
The yardstick must be fair for all. To this end, the Golden Rule is the best yardstick. Treat others the way you would be treated. Place others ahead of yourself and your beliefs. Give the respect to others you would expect.
The antithesis of this, selfishness at the expense of others, is the definition of moral crime. It is the root of all evil. The basis of every evil committed by humanity.

An important, deliberate omission:

...and the second is like unto the first...

Equivalency.

Loving your neighbour as yourself is like loving God.

Not loving your neighbour as yourself is like not loving God.

You cannot love God and not love your neighbour as yourself.
A brilliant summary of what the Christianity Equation means for Christians.

Some points to consider.

Jesus was asked for one answer, yet he gave two. And he drew equivalency between them.

He was speaking to those with eyes to see and ears to hear. He knew the religious leaders wouldn't get it.

So, get what?

I broke the bible.

I call it "The Christianity Equation". Two sayings of Jesus that when put together negate belief in anything else the bible has to say.

A thread:
Jesus was asked his opinion of what is the highest law. He gave two answers:

Love your God with all your heart and love your neighbour as yourself.

The highest law, above all others.

Sin is therefore defined as not loving your neighbour as yourself.
Talking about sin Jesus said that if your eye causes you to sin pluck it out and if your hand causes you to sin cut it off.

Metaphor: if something of great personal importance causes you to sin be rid of it.
