New. Government Health Warning - Smoking is Good For You
!
That is a notice that you could increasingly see in the
future, especially after June 7th this
year.
This could be bigger
than investing in - Anheuser-Bush in 1932 or bitcoin in 2011
Because the controversial herb Cannabis is being looked
at by the Big Tobacco Companies anticipating a favorable vote on that date by
the Canadian Government for its limited use for recreational and medicinal use.
(Cannabis is the umbrella name that houses marijuana and hemp.)
I always thought Cannabis was harmful to mental health.
From time to time there were arguments to the contrary but not the total
turnaround from bad guy to good guy
that is apparently about to take place if the information I've been sent comes
about.
Cannabis -
Poacher turned Gamekeeper?
The Giant tobacco companies Philip Morris & British
American Tobacco have apparently been lobbying, anticipating and preparing for
its approval for years.
This is a memo
from March 1970, from British American Tobacco’s taxation consultant, to its
management:
“Smoking
such [a marijuana] cigarette is a natural expansion of current smoking habits
which, if a more tolerant attitude were ever taken to cannabis, would be a
change in habit comparable to moving over to cigars...
“The
proposed research can be started off very simply, it is just to do for
“cannabis-loaded” cigarettes what has already been done for normal cigarettes. .
. . The starting point must be to learn how to produce in quantity cigarettes
loaded uniformly with a known amount of either ground cannabis or dried and cut
cannabis rag.”
Nixon’s “War on
Drugs” put the brakes on for a while in the 1970s, but now the leash is off.
And the plans are ON.
Over the coming
year, a new form of smoking will surface that could actually be good for your
health, and its not Ecigarettes,a product which has seen tremendous growth as
evidenced by the explosion of vaping outlets.
Ecigarette smoking,
particularly by the younger generation is one of the reasons for the slump in
traditional tobacco sales.
But are the
tables about to be turned. The tobacco people’ are increasingly confident that
the recent and growing favorable publicity for the good bits of cannabis
indicates - Yes !
Tobacco gets a facelift
Imagine a form
of smoking that supplements your diet like a vitamin. That kills pain, speeds
up sports recovery, and helps prevent illness.
If it was
proven, and government-approved, who wouldn’t want it?
Even Oxford
University now acknowledges it’s fundamentally important in the development and
function of the nervous system.
Zameel Cader,
Associate Professor in Clinical Neurosciences at Oxford University says it’s
“increasingly recognised as fundamentally important in the development and
function of the nervous system.”
Studies suggest
our current lack causes a deficiency that’s linked to migraines, fibromyalgia,
IBS, and other diseases related to the immune system and inflammation.
Those statements from respected professionals, allied to money being
invested by the tobacco companies looks as if it will overcome objectors. So - What is the truth?
Ah ! The Truth – that is a difficult one. There are so many sayings
that fit. – ‘Truth is the first casualty of War -and Big Money’ – ‘Truth is
what you can prove’, and – ‘Justice is what the judge had for breakfast’.
But I digress
Experts believe that the global market for
cannabis products could eventually reach $270 billion. The following comparisons show how big
that is
The diabetes devices market
is expected to reach around $35 billion by 2024.
Cancer drugs already top the
scales at £121 billion.
HIV treatments came in at
$19 billion in 2013.
So this new
cannabis smoking global market could be worth more than all drugs sold for
diabetes, cancer and HIV - Combined.
And It’s
happening, soon
It’s why some
multinational tobacco companies are scrambling to get their ducks in a row,
right now.
Because with Big Tobacco behind it, this
will be huge.
• In America, 30 states and the
District of Columbia currently have laws broadly legalising marijuana in some
form. In addition, 8 states and the District of Columbia have adopted the most
expansive laws legalising recreational use.
• Medicinal marijuana is already
above board in Australia, Chile, Jamaica and parts of India.
• Police chiefs in Germany have
called for cannabis to be decriminalised.
• In the UK, the law is already
softening its stance. The non-psychoactive cannabis compound, cannabidiol
(CBD), is already legally sold as a supplement - without a license
Big plans have
been on the tobacco companies’ table for almost half a century. And now they’re
finally making their move….
Phillip
Morris’s $20 million investment in Israel’s Syqe Medical was the second largest
cannabis deal of 2016…
Last year,
Imperial Tobacco changed its name to Imperial Brands and hired cannabis expert
Simon Langelier...
And in January
this year, Alliance One International bought majority stakes in two Canadian
cannabis businesses...
The trend is
catching fire!
And now the
whole world is gearing up for
Marijuana-Mania (Cannabis is the umbrella name that houses marijuana and hemp.)
• Come 7th June, Canada will have
held the vote set to legalize production, sale and consumption of recreational
cannabis.
It is widely expected to be
a yes.
