Earlier today, I posted a story on FB which claimed that hemp, marihuana relieved and/or cured the effects of dementia and Alzheimer's.
It has just occurred to me that, if true, that wonderful plant might also relieve the country of the deleterious effects racism, fascism, and black inferiority, which are all discrete forms of psychosocial dementia!
Reflecting back upon marihuana's glory days in the 1960's and 1970's, it is well known that vast crowds of diverse people used to assemble, freely, without incident, at concerts, demonstrations, athletic events, parks, where they would share that particular drug with complete strangers, without violence or commotion.
Though mocked in "Cheech and Chong" movies for its "far-out man" properties and effects; and glamorized for its use by musicians and artists, the fact remains that tens of millions of Americans, including the last 3 Presidents, have "experimented" with marihuana, repeatedly, by their own admission, to assay its medicinal effects!
As a public health measure, it is worth soliciting a representative panel of volunteers to experiment with its salubrious impact on the resolution of America's most intractable and compelling mental health problem: white racism and its residual correlate, black inferiority.
Of course, politics will figure in, as will economic interests, but let the disputants gather around the bong of brotherhood, a remedy will be found!
