Cannabis Cultivation is your Birthright as a human…
As an earth born species, humans have existed alongside plants, animals, and the ecosystem as a whole for millions of years. We have evolved alongside the natural world, and with that evolution comes a sacred right to cultivate whatever plants we desire. Cannabis, like any other plant, has been used by humans for thousands of years for medicinal, spiritual, and recreational purposes.
Prohibiting anyone from growing cannabis or any other plant is a violation of our fundamental right as individuals and as part of Earth's ecosystem. The notion that a government or any other authority can dictate what we are and aren't allowed to cultivate is absurd. It is a direct attack on our relationship with the natural world and our ability to exercise our inherent freedoms.
Unfortunately, many legalization schemes still contain provisions that ban individuals from growing their own cannabis.
Recently, the Quebec Supreme Court upheld a ban on home grows, denying individuals the ability to exercise their fundamental right to cultivate their own cannabis. This is a prime example of how prohibition continues to limit our freedoms and restrict our relationship with nature.There are many other countries legalizing cannabis without granting the individual his or her right to cultivate.
And this is precisely what we’re writing about today - your rights!
It's time for us to recognize the absurdity of such laws and fight for our right to cultivate and use cannabis as we see fit. It is our inherent right as part of the natural world to cultivate and use plants, and any attempt to limit or prohibit this right is a direct violation of our basic freedoms. Hell, this goes for all substances too.
We must continue to push for the legalization and normalization of cannabis use, including the right to cultivate our own plants. By doing so, we can reclaim our connection to the natural world and assert our inherent right to live as free individuals. It's time for us to stand up for our rights and fight against the absurdity of prohibition.
Systems and Monopolies
The recent ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada upholding Quebec's ban on homegrown cannabis plants raises concerns about the government's use of "law" to "protect" people based on their perception of threat. The Quebec government argues that their ban on growing cannabis for personal use is aimed at protecting the health and safety of Quebecers. However, the federal law permits people to grow up to four cannabis plants at home, which raises questions about the inconsistency between federal and provincial laws.
The ruling suggests that the provincial law meshes well with the overall goals of the federal one, which include protecting the health and security of the public and steering users away from the black market. However, the notion that prohibiting personal cultivation of cannabis can protect public health is based on a faulty premise.
It’s based on the premise that “cannabis is dangerous”. A lie that’s been repeated for decades while the same entities that are meant to “protect us” continue to allow alcohol to be sold anywhere and at all times. They allowed tobacco to be sold and for a while promoted it.
The lies of prohibition sits at the root of the ruling. Protect society from cannabis, when in fact, most people who would cultivate would not want to sell their weed to children. People would grow their own.
The court's decision implies that Quebec's law aims to steer consumers to a controlled source of supply, which paved the way for the creation of the Société québécoise du cannabis (SQDC), the government agency that operates cannabis stores in the province.
Which it openly admitted it’s doing - trying to use the state to monopolize production. However, this has been the protocol in the province, but it serves as a great example on how these government systems work to maintain control over our earth-liberties.
Potential Benefits of Cannabis Cultivation
The topic of home cultivation of cannabis has been a point of contention in many countries around the world. Governments often seek to prohibit it, but there are several key benefits that are often overlooked.
One of the most significant benefits of home cultivation is its potential to limit black market activity. When cannabis is legal, but home cultivation is not, it forces consumers to purchase their cannabis from unregulated black markets.
This is especially true in places with high taxes such as California. This undermines the legal industry and fuels the black market.
The whole issue with legalization is to remove the power from the cartels, but if you keep it illegal with high taxes - people will continue to shop where they can get the greatest value for their money. Especially in a world where a full tank of gas is a sign of wealth.
Another overlooked benefit is the potential for home cultivation to create cost-effective medical options for people with low incomes
Medical cannabis can be a vital treatment option, but the cost of purchasing it from licensed producers can be prohibitive. Allowing individuals to grow their own cannabis for medical purposes can provide a low-cost alternative for those who may not be able to afford licensed products, ensuring that everyone has access to the medicine they need, regardless of their income.
In addition, home cultivation can promote an educated society.
By allowing individuals to grow their own cannabis, governments can help to increase awareness and understanding of the plant and its effects.
This can reduce the stigma surrounding cannabis use and promote responsible consumption practices. Moreover, home cultivation provides an opportunity for individuals to experiment with different strains and cultivation techniques, which can lead to a deeper understanding of the plant and its many uses.
Home cultivation can also promote sustainability.
Growing your own cannabis can reduce reliance on energy-intensive commercial cultivation operations, which can have significant environmental impacts. Especially in a world where “Climate Change” is such a heavily emphasized point.
Home cultivation provides an opportunity for individuals to experiment with organic and sustainable cultivation methods, which can reduce the environmental footprint of cannabis cultivation. They can grow seasonally, and sell at Farmers Markets, which still are taxable if they want to suck money out of the community.
Lastly, home cultivation promotes individual freedom and autonomy.
The right to grow one's own cannabis is a fundamental right, and denying individuals this right is a violation of their basic freedoms.
Imagine a society of individuals that understand delayed gratification because they crop out their own weed. A society of patient people, who take care of the earth which in turn takes care of them.
Growing cannabis is a pseudo-spiritual experience, ask anyone who grows.
You become “fond” of them, you understand the dynamic of nature itself. You connect.
You realize, that with enough freedom, you can grow your own food, take care of your own needs - you don’t even need government…oh…that’s why it’s illegal!
