I would like the federal government to give up its war on drugs and to forget about molecules such as delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol and licensing of hemp.  The hemp plant and all it varieties is a creation of God, not a creation of the federal government.  All glory goes to God.  Drugs are toxic, including man-made drugs.  I having been eating a 100% raw vegan diet since 2011.  I never drank alcohol or drugs because they are poisons, increasing the toxic load on the body.  However, the government is micromanaging and wasting money on the war on drugs, foreign interventions in other countries, and prisons of non-criminal drug users.  Below is the cause of health of plants and humans.  Instead of fighting drugs, you should be causing health by planting organic gardens everywhere using permaculture designs to create efficiency.  The principle is to create the environment of health.  Drugs are used because the environment is stressful.  Remove the cause of stress.  They need another way to reduce stress.  Organic gardens everywhere will reduce stress and will create local food.  Raw vegan food is the best food for humans.  If everyone started that today at 100% raw vegan, the incidence of all major diseases would diminish to close to zero in 5 years, except for permanent damage such as type I diabetes and blindness.  The body goes back to youth instead of aging.  This is not easy because of addictions to cooked food and alcohol and because of overeating.

Cause of Health for Plants:

the right amount of sunlight

the right amount of water

soil with aerobic microorganisms

the right temperature

clean air

enough space in the soil for the roots to grow, not crowded

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cause of Health for Humans:

100% raw, 100% organic fruits and vegetables, including leafy greens

no alcohol or drugs = no toxicity, except for normal waste from cellular metabolism

warm baths to cleanse the skin =============================> This is very helpful to get rid of toxicity.

sunshine on exposed skin (and maybe the eyes too)

sleep

exercise

weight lifting

time in nature and with plants, including gardening (farming) in the soil

learning about God (Supernatural life does not appear out of nowhere and can not be created by people from scratch.)

self-reliance skills

relaxation

etc.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One-Disease Concept:

toxicity and deficiency = one disease, different names (cancer, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, intestine problems, etc.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The goal is to thrive, not just survive!

healthy body = lean, muscular, strong, fit, free of excess toxicity, God loving (life and thoughts are supernatural)
