Marijuana: Parties
built 233 days ago
The Marijuana Party would not exist, and would not have its current leader, but for several past victories in previous court cases. The future of the party depends upon the final outcome of its current court case. If a vote for the Marijuana Party continues to be worth nothing, while votes for bigger political parties are a significant source of funding for those bigger parties, then the Marijuana Party has no realistic chance of ever growing or competing against the bigger parties. However, if the Marijuana Party were to win its current court case, and a vote for it became worth significant funding, then the Marijuana Party would have a chance to grow.
Marijuana affects a person's ability to shift attention from one thing to another and causes damage to short-term memory because of how THC alters the way information is processed by the hippocampus. THC disrupts coordination and balance by binding to parts of the brain that regulate balance, posture, coordination of movement, and reaction time.
Ganja (Marijuana) is considered the "wisdom weed" by Rastafarians, as its use helps one to gain wisdom. Rastafarians use it as a part of a religious rite and as a means of getting closer to their inner spiritual self, Jah (God) and Creation.

If the Marijuana Party benefits from winning this court case so that a vote for the party becomes worth something, rather than nothing, then the party could change significantly. The Marijuana Party has little left in common with the mainstream marijuana movement. The party has radically different attitudes towards all political issues: marijuana is the salient symbol and most extreme example of the general pattern of social facts.
