Marijuana has two main components: THC and cannabidiol. THC is the psychoactive component, and the cannabidiol component is the true medical marijuana. If we could educate people about this fact and lead our government to approve cannabidiol, it could be made into a tablet that could be ingested like aspirin. Doing that would diminish the hype and resistance that goes along with the legalization of marijuana. above. Understand the message. Be motivated by the wisdom and scared to death by the warning.
