Depends to what kind of church you go to. There are really nice old churches in Europe and even when they have a mass it is pretty relaxing, because European church service is much more boring than it is in most churches in the US I’d think. Basically just a person speaking in a monotone voice for an hour and sometimes everyone sings slow, monotone songs.

  Ugh, at first they obviously sound pretty cool, but I feel like they are all about the aesthetic of changing the world, but with no actual approach to do so.
  
  We relate to them because they had to stand by with their cannabis in their bag while the old white doctors came and put leeches on the son—the king’s epileptic son—when they had the medicine for that… In the same way, we have to stand back with our medicine and watch chemo and radiation sometimes kill people without the benefit of restoration from healing plants.
  
  Nope, telling people with cancer just to smoke pot in actually doing cancer treatment is really bad and causes unnecessary deaths. Also, you aren’t like actual healers back then who had so much more experience in what they did.
  
  We make medicine on a full moon and basically it’s more feminine for us to do it by moon cycle. Each product that we make comes with a sticker on the bottom to show what moon cycle we made it in. It’s a way of us coming together with the plant and Mother Nature and having that meditative time—being with the plant and making the medicine under the full moon. It just does something to us.
  
  Like I said, it’s all about the aesthetic, not much else…
  
  Big Pharma has caused a lot of heartache, and a lot of deaths, and a lot of unnecessary treatments where people have exacerbated their incomes and their financial ways of living—especially the poor, the marginalized, the people that can’t have access to this plant
  
  Big pharma sure is evil, but instead of just blindly trusting in one plant to cure all and throwing all of medicine’s knowledge out we could also fight for systemic change and free medicine from the grasp of capitalism.

    Smokig pot certainly don’t substitute an cancer treatment, but is very effective against the secondary effects of the treatment, better as some pharmas which add other negative secondary effects.

    Well, modern medicine builds on top of natural remedies, but it has standardized it and brought it to a whole new level. People get incredibly old and survive many diseases thought of as incurable a hundred years ago because of modern medicine. Just looking at the similar ingredients in some medicine and nature is not helpful but naive.
