I'm starting to wonder why many of us (it would seem) only have interest in one of nature's healing herbs.
Do you really wonder that vtac? If you do, then you're not vaporizing enough (or high enough quality) Cannabis.
Haha we love it for just what it IS. That's all I can really say on the subject.
If you want to know what herb is and what this thing is all about, then welcome it into your body and your life. Then you'll know. I'm
sure it's different for everyone, but in some way you'll know. Some people choose to walk away after that, for whatever reasons in their life and history that make it feel just so, but no other person is ever going to be able to GIVE you that first experience you can take judgment from...this you've got to touch for yourself-- failing that your opinions regarding Cannabis are unfounded, regardless of how much scientific datum you've combed over (this is just my opinion, of course). So to put it simple we love IT for just what IT is. Put a label on that if you'd like to try to, but for me it's as elusive a thing as the "normal" state of consciousness I (we) was born into. Herb is a special place you find yourself, and so many people love it and give it welcome into their life for a
reason; it simply won't be I who tries to hold that reason in his hands.
That being said, I know what you mean...and I'm what you might class as a "plant person"--a lover of all things vegetal--so I have some personal interest in exploring other herbs. I just highly doubt we're ever going to find the next Cannabis: there is almost certainly no such thing and people need to stop looking for a Cannabis "replacement" (not saying that's what we're doing here--since it's not--it's just an attitude I often see lofted around sundry smokeable ethnobotanicals). In fact, what needs to happen is we need to focus our energy on the other part of our society that wants Cannabis repressed. Change opinions about Cannabis rather than trying to replace it with something "safer". Cannabis is special and there's no replacement for something unique... Just like we've all lost lovers, well you can't just replace your lover...you never can, despite the efforts of a lifetime. They were unique in your life, just as every person after them will be. Cannabis is unique, just like every other plant is unique.
There is surely more interesting and valuable plants like this to be discovered, so this sort of research you guys are doing is really awesome. I ought to try it more than I do now...I read lots, but barely ever actually try most "questionable" ethnobotanicals. I thinks that I loves IT far too much for that...
So to make a tragically long diatribe blissfully short: We love Cannabis simply for what it is, and nothing else. There are surely other plants out there worthy of adoration, but that Cannabis has something special about it which many many people have turned to is almost unquestionable. Glad to see threads like this and that people are doing the leg work into new plants (surely they deserve the attention), but don't expect to find another Cannabis (not accusing anyone of thinking this either, just getting it out there): you might find something MIND-BLOWING, but it's not going to be like Cannabis. It too will be unique. Keep yer heads open people, see ya there.
PS: Excuse me if that post feels very removed from the flow of this discussion, but for some inane reasons I felt it had to be said, here and now. If you disagree and think those sentiments were unnecessary, please proceed with telling me otherwise
