1142: Cannabis Redux | Skeptical Sunday

Well, there are actually nowadays there are some that will tell you that it's a shame that you're not high. As you said, cannabis today is purported to have many attributes that are good for you. This, of course, is in stark contrast to just 15 short years ago when we were told that our brains on drugs were not unlike fried eggs in a frying pan.

Aha. Yes. But the problem being that for the last 53 years, we have classified cannabis as a schedule one narcotic. That's the same as heroin, meth, coke, all the bigs of the drug world. Now, the Biden administration did finally reclassify cannabis as Schedule 3, which means it incurs much lower penalties for possession and use. For example, Tylenol with codeine is Schedule 3.

So I don't know anyone doing hard time over possession of Tylenol with codeine, so clearly this is an improvement. But it's actually a long road before cannabis is officially reclassified.

I'm going to just say no to that notion, actually, because cannabis historically always had an excellent reputation. And it's been around for like a really long time. The first recorded use of cannabis was in 2737 BCE, or as historians say, a long ass time ago.

Yeah, and legend has it that Emperor Shang Nang of China, believed to have ruled around 5,000 years ago, so you nailed it, prescribed cannabis tea.

In fact, Hindus believed that the god Shiva brought cannabis to Earth and not just for humans to use. Turns out the god Shiva was also a big fan of this plant.
