Marketing of Marijuana

Marketing: the conceiving and packaging and the moving of a specific product into public hands. It means to prepare and take to and place on the market.. (LRH - ED 459-56 Flag)

Promote: to contribute to the progress, development, or growth of; further; encourage. ( Funk and Wagnalls Standard Desk Dictionary)

The Promotion and Marketing of Marijuana is taking the same avenues as other legitimately marketable products in BC. You'll see promotion of pot in magazines, newspaper, given political support, health officers endorsing or failing to denounce it, Judges failing to convict, Newspaper reports smoking it, and 'compassion' clubs selling it.

Marijuana has been positioned below or 'not as bad as' alcohol and cigarettes for only one reason: To gain acceptance with an unfamiliar public market, i.e. those who aren't pot heads or haven't smoked pot. These positioning efforts are NOT an effort to show how safe pot is: If that were true why would the promoters have chosen the two most deadly substances in the world? Interestingly these two substances (drugs) are the two most used drugs on the planet. Are they the most dangerous because they are dangerous or because they are accepted drugs and used more than any other? Truth be told, they are dangerous because they are the drugs that are accepted and used more than any other.

Marijuana promoters and pushers would like marijuana to take ranking against the big two of alcohol and tobacco. But who is cashing in on this huge marketing and promotional effort and who is paying for it? Illegal trade of BC marijuana is between $ 3 and $6 Billion per year. Marc Emery operates the world's largest marijuana product business right here in BC. If your selling it or its products (seeds) most likely your harvesting it as a cash crop, lying, hiding your actions and living like a criminal and tax evader or a ghost living off the lives of others.

If your buying it you have seen many take stronger drugs, ruin their health, have relationships disintegrate, seen people use and get stoned instead of achieve worthwhile goals and some have seen worse and turned their heads. By taking attention off the results and saying it didn't happen because of the pot doesn't change the consequences of this billion dollar business - BC's largest, from reeling in it's toll. The death toll in car accidents, sports injuries, workplace accidents etc. etc. extends beyond the day pot is smoked.

Marijuana stays active in the system for 30 plus days altering a person's perception, coordination, judgment, and slows reflexes. In Australia over 50% of the car accident drivers test positive for marijuana. I don't know that testing is usual in other countries. Many dope experimentation involving moving up to harder drugs are done in connection with pot or alcohol. Unprotected sex with risky partners is again done while stoned. Let's look at who has the most to gain from promoting and marketing marijuana to the current political opinion leaders, and of course the 8 year olds who visit the marijuana stands and see others smoking their weed and ask what they are doing? It's marketing time for the promoters of marijuana. Drug dealers, pot growers incapable of supporting their habit, criminals, pimps, pushers, organized crime, drug companies, opium traders, drug crop land owners are all financially gaining from a product (marijuana) that has but one true result: oblivion, forgetfulness, destroyed ambition, apathy, slow death of an entire future generation.

Agree with soft marijuana laws and organized crime produces more drug addicts because of an expanding market into which they can push drugs. Buy seeds from dope promoters and support tax evasion and a disintegration of intelligence in yourself and others. Smoke dope and encourage everyone you come into contact with that doing dope is OK because you're not dead from it yet. Marijuana is for those who have given up on true help and need pot to substitute for actual help. Who would go to a drug when they felt great? Who would get stupid when being smart is the only way to win and succeed in a rapidly advancing technological society? Why would anyone go to a drug when a friend or person could truly assist with a difficulty in life? Common amongst all of these scenarios is failed help or no help. This does not mean no help possible but no help given at the time it was needed and wanted. Drugs are pushed by those who would assert help was unattainable or non-existent.

Consider what every pot enthusiast, promoter or pusher communicates by his or her actions every time they promote marijuana as a solution to a worried mind, guilty conscious, nervous attitude, angry reaction, or psycho-somatic pressure or pain which is more tenable when stoned for a few hours. Those promoters who say it's smoked to have fun or relax have forgotten how to have fun and relax with out drugs. This is called dependency and sounds like the beginnings of addiction to me. It's amazing to me that a person need to have fun or feel excitement or pleasure by getting high. These feelings of excitement and pleasure have become so identified with being stoned that feeling good reactivates or triggers the desire to get stoned.

Soon the person can't think of having sex or much less a conversation without thinking about how 'good' it would be to be high right now. Can't stop thinking about it, all your friends do it, wouldn't think of going anywhere with out it, can't sleep at night or relax or calm your mind down on your own? If marijuana were so innocuous why do its adherents cling to it like a life saver in a choppy sea? That is marijuana addiction.

The basic principle that the success of the Narconon Program is based on is that given the right tools, given some caring help, a person can cure themselves of addiction. More than 75% of the Narconon students who have finished the program do, in fact, cure themselves of their addiction.
