Mexico Legalizes Cannabis & Why Cannabis Can Single Handedly Save The World

in cannabis •  7 years ago  (edited)

I woke up this morning in Anarchapulco, Mexico, where I recorded my daily "walk-n-talk" with my five anarchist dogs. I'll be posting more of those soon here on Steemit.

I then hopped on a plane to Mexico City where I spent the afternoon with Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert recording interviews for their television show on RT as well as their podcast on Sputnik Radio.

At the same time we just put live my Anarchast episode with Erika Harris ( @erikaharris ) discussing how cannabis can save the world here:

The timing was perfect as just this week, Mexico announced it is legalizing cannabis.

This is a big change in the whole "War on Drug" crime that has been perpetuated on humanity for the last five decades.

While the US seems to be going backwards with Trump and Sessoms looking to increase the War on Drugs, Mexico has had enough of it all and gone ahead and legalized it.

This will have big ramifications for Mexico which is already doing incredibly well economically. If they can move forward and decriminalize all drugs then the CIA backed cartels in Mexico will be run out of business. And even though the drug trade in Mexico never affects foreign tourists, that stigma of drug violence in Mexico keeps millions away... and they may soon return.

But, far bigger than just the ramifications to Mexico are the ramifications of a worldwide legalized cannabis.

As Erika and I spoke about in our Anarchast it could destroy the pharmaceutical industry, medical and forestry industries just to name a few.

Make sure to watch the entire episode as the legalization of cannabis could change the world dramatically... and for the better.

And, in our Anarchast, we discuss how Americans in the "land of the free" who still don't have legalized marijuana across the country can easily take action to force the government bureaurats to free this healing and healthy plant.

In fact, according to Erika, humans are designed, by God/nature, to need cannabis in their diet for their health... something that has been taken away from most people's knowledge for the last century.

It's a must watch episode of Anarchast. Please share with anyone with health issues, particularly cancer, as cannabis cures most health related issues. And share with anyone who cares about the environment as legalized cannabis will stop deforestation.

That's why governments across the world have tried to keep it out of the public's hands for so long. Because they and their crony capitalist friends make lots of money making people sick and destroying the environment.

It's time we change that.

Great news from Mexico!

At about 26:45 minites into to the video you can see an UFO in the sky.

looks like a bird to me

Unidentified flying bird

Why can't I post my own reply?

You just did.

Thank you for all you @jeffberwick do. If I had not watched your interview with the two co founders of Steemit, I would never have known about Steemit. I literally owe you so much just for that, let alone the amazing work you do.

Keep doing great things

Lol exactly the same happened to me

hahah yessssss. great influence @jeffberwick has

same here. I could not believe it until I watched that video. Thank you @jeffberwick

ayyyy heck yeah keep getting people to steemit @jeffberwick

Good news! Another reason to move to Mexico! Will visit there soon to see how it is for living

Follow me!! :D

Smoke weed e'ryday!

"Alright, you're hired. But you're on probation. No wait, I'm on probation. I've gotta go see my probation officer, man. "

Leo was hilarious.

Gosh, beat me to it! Just uploaded on YouTube ;p

Is there room down there Jeff?

Awesome, awesome, awesome interview! I will download the app and search HR1227, and do what you said. However, I have no faith in my state's senators and representatives. I have contacted them about many issues over the years and either get no response or a canned response.

Erika, you are so spot on. I witnessed chemo and radiation kill my mother. Not cancer. She was fine until she received "treatments." I told her to ask her oncologist for a prescription for medical marijuana because she lost her appetite. She was literally wasting away. He wouldn't do it, and she didn't insist on it.

What you both said about alcohol, I have been saying for years (I used to drink). The crap is marketed to children. You cannot walk into a regular grocery store without having colorful cardboard props and signage making neon-colored wine coolers and "hard" lemonade look like soda pop. That marketing is geared to kids. We live in a crazy up-side down world where alcohol, a substance that is addictive, kills brain cells, makes you lazy and numb, and ruins families is legal, but cannabis, which is health promoting, is illegal. The agenda is so obvious.

In the state of Arizona you can get medical marijuana if you convince your doctor that you need it, and then he gives you permission, and then you pay the state to get a special card, and then you can buy it. It's insane. I'm a grown adult, and I have to ask someone's permission to buy a plant. Yet, it's perfectly legal to sell children artificially flavored root-beer gum made with the toxic chemical aspartame.
As always, thank you, again. There's alot of relevant and important information in your video.

@weq I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. Her life should not have ended that way. But how beautiful that her legacy can live on in your awareness and advocacy. Big hugs to you. 💕

Thank you so very much. Yes, much awareness came from that experience. I've been learning about and advocating natural, nontoxic modes to healing ever since. All the best to you always.

Breaking News: Mexico plans to build a wall on its northern border, as illegal immigrants from the United States flood into the country.

True .. wall from the other side ...💨

Hey Jeff!

@jeffberwick your write-up here was awesome! Sorry I somehow saw it a week late. One important thing I forgot to mention...

... medical schools are still not being taught the endocannabinoid system! Because the US still handles Cannabis as a matter of crime and security, rather than as science and medicine, the professional healers (MDs) are still endarkened about the bodies they are supposed to be learning to care for. ☠

Damn shame.

Definitely made me a health vigilante!! 🌿🌬

You are my hero for sharing this information with your platform.

Thank you for evolving so publicly, transparently and generously. I love and respect you for that. 💚

A simple devotee of cannabis,
Erika

Let's hope they don't pull what Canada plans to pull. While on one hand they'll legalize small amounts for personal use, they plan to heavily increase the jail time for going over their arbitrary limit; like 14 years.

(not to mention how they're planning to implement a no suspicion necessary for making people do roadside Breathalyzer tests.)

Wow that's stupid of Canada.

Expect to see a rise in cannabis crypto!

Monsanto is already positioned to buy all existing seed and creating the GMO cannabis! So hoard whatever seed you can get your hands on before this criminal adulterates all seed!

Haha

Good for society..... Less money for the D.E.A.....also good for society

A friend with weed is a friend indeed!

love your haircut man! thumbs up!!

Was that all that paraphernalia in your bathroom? :)

cool

I don't know how I feel about this but hey to each his own. I choose not to do it but I would not pass judgement on someone that does. I did it enough when I was young and quit. Quit drinking too. Feel a whole lot better for it. Anyway I do know the plant has great effects on certain people that need it prescribed from a legal doctor. lol Its funny, I'm almost 55 and this generation acts like they found the stuff and its some new craze. Have fun y'all.

Legalize it, don't criticize it!

True Statement....!!@..!

thank you for the update

Thank you Jeff your blogs and you tube channel are great. I had not heard of Steemit until you talked about it. Keep up the great work.

Excellent news, another reason to move to Mexico. See you in February Jeff.

It’s the God plant. We hue-mans are made up of cannabinoid receptors in our cells. We were made for this plant. We connect with it. We were not made to connect with a cabbage or a potato. However, I think my body was made to connect with a potato. How can you make photosynthesis unlawful? We have all been had people, wake up. And peace to the human race.

Great piece Jeff I love your work, keep it up @jeffberwick

Yes!!
Let's all join our efforts together and further the cannabis crusade. Colorado has shown that there is strength in numbers, but we have to put ourselves out there and tell the truth. Truth is often rejected initially but when darkness is exposed to the light, darkness is destroyed. Be the light in every arena of conflict. People will at first REACT from their programmed mindset, but will RESPOND and be grateful when they are exposed to truth. The word PRESS indicates that there is a resistance and an opposing force.
Keep pressing on!

e

I am from Mexico , and the life there its very difficult for must of the people, corruption,insecurity and a lot of people with out good manners. I prefer to live in USA now until something bad happens I will move to Mexico, I already have my house with the money I make in the USA, money that Icould never make in my country.

This is bs

Really enjoy your approach to life and the way you give back --- to me that speaks volumes about you as a person ....thanks for all your daily efforts :-)

What the hell? Is my damn comments showing up or what? Give me a vote if you can see this please

Amazing video and awesome Interview Jeff! I very much enjoyed your watching content and learning a ton of new things tonight through your video. I created a product and brand HempHives that was just featured in HotBox magazine. If you get a chance to check it out or resteem my last post I would be forever grateful to help get the word out on hemp wick and it's benefits to the end users.

Mexico keeps looking more and more appealing to me ithink i might have to move over there with you jeff! Lol

hey Jeff, I follow and love all your channels on YT!! your dogs are amazing, and its always super funny when Lucy ignores you and you keep telling her "Sitz!" :D LMAO ...btw this is a awesome video that I will resteem, because I love cannabis and all the potentials of this single plant! keep up the awesome work! :)

Jeff,I will be coming down there for Octopulco. I will need some info. from you to plan the logistics. How can we have a private convo? Email is [email protected]

I live it

Great news for Mexico!! Although some of the states in the US are legalizing weed, it seems like they are always making one step forward and two steps backwards.

Jeff, Love your work....I'm a small guy but I think Marijuanna stocks could go through the roof...but I do not know which ones...there are hundreds? What can you tell me?

Great post loved it I have been a supporter of cannabis,hemp, and all things marijuana for many years. I sell CBD products for a living seeing how much they help people has inspired me

If it were up to me all drugs would be legalized, along with care facilities for people to use in a safe environment and help to quit (talking about hard drugs here). I know this is a bizar idea for most though.

I'm a regular smoker and i feel it's great. It's better than any other drugs, even the prescribed ones.. I'm addicted of marijuana which doesn't make any sense and i'm happy. Haven't found any negative effects yet.
Goodluck!

I recommend you steemians not to support, i belive its the way goverment prmotebto make their dollars only. Soon we will see whole youngesters addected to it, i belive save your kids . Even its plant but not all plants goodvfor human to use.

Weed is not addictive. It's not only the THC of the plant that is good. There are 100s of uses for this plant. Please educate yourself ;)

Seriously if you are going to ban marijuana because it's bad for kids, why stop there? There are so much other things that are bad for kids but perfectly legal. Kids will try weed whether it's legal or not, but keeping it illegal has a whole bunch of negative consequences to people and the environment. People shouldn't go to jail for growing or using it, and people who need it for medicine should have access to it. Yeah, kids will use it and that isn't good, but it makes no real difference whether it's legal or not, (kids also try alcohol and cigarettes).

I recommend reading Ready set go! Step out. Worth-read for any activist :)

i like this excerpt from the post "humans are designed, by God/nature, to need cannabis in their diet for their health..." its my sentiments exactly.

indeed most people have never heard of the Endocannabinoid System we have inside of us. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocannabinoid_system

Great news..
@secter

"I want a War on Government!"

Glad to get a wide info on how marijuana can be used to cure cancer patient as well as a detox material for nuclear. The health benefits goes on and on. hanks Jeff for enlightening the world with this great information. looking forwards to see more posts from you. I am also happy seeing Max keiser in your photo, that guy has been a great source of inspiration for me when it comes to crypto currencies. Great work to you all.

Bham bhole Natha.! Jay mahadev!

So true, this stuff from my gardenJack Will Love Brocolli.jpg is good too. :)

Why the fucking USA goes backwards on everything ....if this continuos I'm moving away ...

One day we will wake up to a day where cannabis will be legalized in the entire world, and we will remember these days as horrible dream, where people have been prisoned for engaging with nature...

Interesting post. Thank you.

The criminalization of cannabis by governments is proof that corruption exists.

Legaliziation is the best option to reduce drug criminality worldwide and help those who suffer from psychological addiction by including people more into society instead of putting them into jail.

That's great news and long overdue. Mexico has decided that will no longer allow the US to strongarm them into policies that harm their people at the benefit to american kleptocracy and elite power brokers

"They are evil people who want to destroy everything." Agreed, Jeff. Which seems to prove once again that they don't have nukes, otherwise they would have done it already.

Thanks for such amazing information.

I want this too .... I have a headache sometimes, I believe it will definitely help.

Hey guys, so i guess we are moving to mexico?

First Canada and now Mexico. This will put pressure on the U.S. for sure. I still don't believe a U.S. President will ever legalize it....no matter the party and will need a Supreme Court ruling in order to legalize it. Still, this has to help those states looking to add it to their state ballots.

I'm not an american so I don't know how it works, but is it possible that every single state can have marijuana fully legal, yet it still be federally illegal?

You are absolutely right. We already have many states with medical or recreational marijuana but federal prohibition. It looks very possible that nearly all states will legalize. For most of us that means we are fine using within our state but flying (on a plane) with pot is problematic. On the business side, dispensaries and other marijuana businesses have great trouble with financial services which are federally controlled. The answer to that of course is cryptocurrencies!

I honestly don't know and have been asking myself that same question. Considering half the country has voted for medical and a half dozen has voted for recreational, I think we're going to find out soon.

What's your thoughts on Potcoin and Cannabis coin? I was considering investing in one of these as my intuition tells me that they are rising stars. (Not to mention the fact that I currently do not own any coins, why go for the high price coins; "when in the sea, ride the wave," right?)

Healing of the Nation

Thanks Sir. Herbs + Yoga are the best way to heal in the fight with drugs...

Herb is the healing of the nation!

wow well that is amaizing

Peter coyote is the narrator in an excellent , very informative documentary called " What If Cannibus Cured Cancer ". I Highly recommend this viewing and Freedom To Facism by the late Aaron Russo .

I hope i can go to mexico as soon as possible! Thanks @jeffberwick for the wonderful article and the video !!

Amazing how the government and big pharmas have kept this away from people for so long. I gathered marijuana stocks are very promising right now.

I have always been in the favor of Marijuana & it can really bring the world down to peace.

Thanks for posting on this topic! It's great that Mexico legalized cannabis... I wish we had federal legalization here in the US. Hopefully as more countries legalize it will make it easier to persuade the ones left over 😊👍

I recently moved to the Lake Chapala area in Jalisco and it seems perfect conditions for an outdoor grow. However, I know commercial growing is largely indoor these days and dependent on cheap electricity. Regardless, well done Mexico!

Dont forget to tell them jeff that Cannabis cost about 20 pesos for a gram like 1 dollar This is no lie cheapest medicine available.. Gringos seem to think Mexico is so bad but that is not true its more free like Jeff is always saying..

Keep up the great work Jeff. And thank you for educating me to join steem it. In fact your wise words should be adopted by all . Everyone can learn a lot from you . Keep well and stay safe brother.

😍👍 That is terrific news🤗 It makes me happy !!!!!!

We all live in the matrix... BUY CIVIC COIN https://www.civic.com/

Thanks for sharing!

And Trump tweets today that Mexico is the second deadliest country in the world and "we're gonna build the wall" :-//

Interesting topic! Do you consume cannabis yourself?

I use to demonize everyone that uses cannabis. Until I had 10 sublixacions in my back. And Cannabis takes all my back pain away. :')

I'm already packing my bags...

This is a fantastic podcast.I am from a conservative branch of the Christian church. In my circles I am not supposed to support the use of Cannabis "BUT I DO". Thanks to Anarchists such as Jeff and other freedom thinkers, I have woken up to the fact that I am being banned from from using something which God gave me to use and this is therefore morally reprehensible. I personally feel aggrieved that I am prevented from using a plant with such incredible medicinal and creative properties. The banning of Cannabis stands as a powerful reminder that I am living in a mentally enslaved generation. Nobody dares question. The biggest irony for me as alluded to in this podcast is that we may freely use alcohol but can go to jail for using Cannabis. That irony should be an easy one for anyone who is in any way thinking to notice, but nobody does.

Thanks for this post is educative

@jeffberwick nice post

In my place aceh area (western indonesian), this marijuana plant also thrives, although the government forbids planting it, but there are always people who plant it in secret. Consequently now our area includes an emergency drug area.

God will save the world, Jeff, not cannabis.

Viva Mexico! This is a big blow to the worldwide drug cartel.
