Kusemthethweni: Ukhula alusapholi

Ukuba ukhe wathenga i-cannabis kwiziko lase-Oregon-apho imbiza isemthethweni ukuba isetyenziswe ngabantu abadala ukusukela ngo-2016-uyakufumana umyalezo weengcebiso ekusenokwenzeka ukuba awuzukuwufunda. Ulapha nje ukhula, akunjalo? Kodwa yithi ukuthanda kwakho kuyalela ngenye indlela. Into oza kuyifunda ayifani nesilumkiso sika-Surgeon General esihamba kunye neepakethe zecuba. Umbhali womyalezo, iKhomishini yoLawulo loTywala ye-Oregon (i-OLCC), elawula ukuhanjiswa kunye nokuthengiswa kwe-cannabis kurhulumente, ayikhathali nempilo yakho ngqo. Hayi, endaweni yoko i-OLCC ilumkisa abazali nabantu abadala ukuba ukutya intsangu phambi kwabantwana kuya kubenza bajongeke bepholile.

Abantwana bafuna ukufana nabazali babo kunye nabanye abantu abadala ebomini babo, bafunde unobumba obomvu we-OLCC. Xa usebenzisa i-marijuana phambi kwabo, banokufuna ukuyisebenzisa, nabo. Ungabagcina bekhuselekile kwaye besempilweni ngokungasebenzisi intsangu xa abantwana bekufutshane.

Akukho mntu ucela ukuba abantwana basebenzise intsangu ngokuzonwabisa-kodwa owethu,Amaxesha atshintshile. I-Cannabis yayikade ipholile ngendlela eyingozi, iziyobisi zolutsha ezikhethiweyo, ezigxunyekwe kwihlobo loThando, intshukumo yezolimonamagumbi okulala ekholejini eMelika. Olu luvo lwentsangu njengokungathobeli eluntwini luyafa, enkosi ngokwenziwa ngokusemthethweni. Ke yintoni i-cannabis njengenkcubeko, indlela yokuphila, indlela yokuba yiyo, emele ngoku? Ngaba abantwana bade bayibone ipholile kwakhona? Ukhona umntu?

Idatha evela Ukubeka iliso kwikamva Umbutho ophonononge ukusetyenziswa kwamayeza esizwe kwabafundi abaphezulu minyaka le ukusukela ngo-1975, ubonakalisa ukuba ukwenziwa ukuba ngumthetho we-cannabis kube nefuthe elinjani ekusebenziseni ulutsha. Ukusukela ngo-2005, inani le-12th kwilizwe liphela elinika ingxelo ukuba basebenzise i-cannabis ebomini babo liye laya ngaphantsi kweepesenti ezingama-45. Iinzame zokumisa ngokusemthethweni kule minyaka ili-15 idlulileyo-apho i-33 ithi ibhalise ngokusemthethweni intsangu yezonyango kwaye i-10 ithi isemthethweni ukusetyenziswa kwezokuzonwabisa-ayikalitshintshi elo nani. Ngeli xesha, ngo-1980, ngama-60.3 epesenti ye-12abancinci baye bavuma ukuba bazama intsangu ebomini babo, elona nani liphezulu kwindawo yesibini elakhe larekhodwa.

Ukuba kukho nantoni na, idatha ibonisa ukuba semthethweni ayikhuthazi ulutsha ekusebenziseni i-cannabis. Yiipesenti ezilithoba kuphela zentsha yaseColorado eneminyaka eli-12 ukuya kweli-17 esetyenzisiweyo yentsangu ngenyanga ngo-2015-2016, ukwehla ngokwezibalo ngamanqaku amabini eepesenti kunyaka ophelileyo, ngokweSaveyi kaZwelonke yokuSebenzisa iziyobisi kunye neMpilo. IWashington, Alaskakunye neWashington,DC nayo wabona ukwehla okufanayo kulutsha oluchaza ukusetyenziswa kwe-cannabis kwinyanga ephelileyo. Kwi-flip ye-stereotypes, abazali abaneminyaka yobudala kunokwenzeka ukuba basebenzise intsangu kunakwishumi elivisayo, Kutsho iZikosyoLawulo lweZifo noThintelo .

Ngokukrakra, ulutsha alwenzi nje iziyobisi njengangaphambili. Ngaphandle kwe-cannabis, kunyaka ophelileyo bekumelwe elona nani lisezantsi lokusetyenziswa kweziyobisi ebomini kuJongo lweDatha ye-40 yeminyaka-kunye nedatha. Ungabakhathazi abazali-idatha ibonisa ukuba abantwana bakho abakuqwalaseli, okanye iziyobisi zakho, ngakumbi zipholile kwaphela.

Kukho umba wokuba imbiza yayingekho semthethweni, yayisisiqhamo esalelweyo, uhlobo lokuhamba,URuss Belville, umgqugquzeli wohlengahlengiso lwe-cannabis ixesha elide kunye nomnini webhedi kunye nesidlo sakusasa esilungele iPortland 420, uxelele uMqwalaseli. Ngoku loo mbiza isemthethweni, ngumama uChardonnay, yicigar katata. Akupholanga. Luhlobo lweziqhwala ebantwaneni.

Injalo imeko kaWhittaker Bangs, intombazana yaseDenver eneminyaka eli-14 ubudala efunda eLittleton High School. Bobabini abazali bakhe batshaya intsangu, ngelixa umama wakhe esebenza njengomlawuli woyilo eGrove Spaces, indawo yokuqala yokuvula indawo ephezulu yokusebenzisa i-cannabis eDenver. Akazisebenzisi buqu, kwaye akaqinisekanga ukuba uya kuthi xa efika kwiminyaka esemthethweni.

Andikholelwa ukuba ngumsebenzi okruqulayo, kodwa andicingi ukuba yinto endiya kukulungela ukulahla yonke into ukuyenza, wabhala nge-imeyile. Imvumi yelizwe laseMelika uWillie Nelson uthatha umrhumo ekudibaneni ngelixa ephumle ekhayeni lakhe eTexas.Unxibelelwano / i-Getty Izithombe

Ingqondo yesiphithiphithi esincinci iyanyamalala nakwinkcubeko yamatye, ehlala iphazanyiswa yinkcubeko ye-cannabis. Cinga uCheech noChong, uWillie Nelson, usnoop dogg . Ngokwembali abafana abapholileyo, ngokuqinisekileyo, kodwa la ngamagama e-cannabis amagama ngoku, nganye inolayini wayo weemveliso zokhula-ayisabambeki endodeni, yenza nje ishishini, indoda. Ezi OGs ze-cannabis azisakulungelanga ukuba ngabavelisi benkcubeko edlamkileyo, ebalulekileyo kwindawo ye-cannabis. Ukanti xa uninzi luthelekelela umntu odibene nokhula, ayingomama notata; kunokwenzeka abaHlengi abaPhezulu baBomvu kunye no-Snoop ku-Double G, umntwana.

Xa ujonga i-cannabis njengenkcubeko kwi-2018, uyaqonda ukuba kukho umsantsa wolwazi olungelulo phakathi komthengi oqhelekileyo kunye noluntu lwe-cannabis. Ngubani osebenzisa i-cannabis kwaye yeyiphi imibuzo engenazo iimpendulo ezilula kwakhona. Mhlawumbi khange benze njalo. Kodwa loo ntsomi yezitikha zamagqabi embiza, iiflegi zerastakwaye izitya zokutya okungekho mpilweni zazisasazeke kakhulu, zikhohlisa abaninzi ukuba bacinge ukuba bayazi ukuba ungumthengi ongakanani umntu onobungozi be-cannabis — ilitye elinamavila, ulutsha olunemvukelo, ihippie entle. Ngoku, enkosi kwimizamo yomzabalazo ophumeleleyo kule minyaka ingama-20 idlulileyo, abasebenzisi be-cannabis abangazange babanzima nangakumbi ukwahlulahlulahlula.

Phambi kokumiselwa ngokusemthethweni, wonke umntu wayenoluvo lwakhe malunga nokhula, loluphi, kwaye kutheni umntu angalusebenzisa, utshilo u-Anja Charbonneau, umhleli oyintloko Ibrokholi , iphephancwadi le-cannabis eliyilwe ngocoselelo kwaye lahlelwa ngabafazi. Kodwa ngoku, sinawo onke la mabali ahlukeneyo ekufuneka siwalandele kwaye sizame ukuhambisana kunye neendlela ezintsha zokuzama ukuzichonga.

Ewe yongeza inkcubeko yokutshintsha ngokukhawuleza kwentsangu kuluhlu lwezinto zeendaba ongenakukwazi ukuzigcina nazo. Ngokuqinisekileyo ngekhe siyiqonde indlela elixesha elibukhali ngayo-phakathi kokuqhaqha isithintelo kunye nokuqonda okwenyani kwe-cannabis-kude kube semva kweminyaka. Kwenzeka ntoni xa ukuchasana nomthetho, ngaphambili okwakuyinto eqhuba ukuqhuba owaba ngamatye, etshintsha abe ngumthetho? Njengoko uBelville endixelele, ukuthintela kudale umanyano kunye namaqela kunye namaqela ngenxa yokuba umthetho uqala ukonakala.

Iklabhu ekhethekileyo yabantwana epholileyo ye-cannabis iphelile. Oomama bayayisebenzisa, uElon Musk uyayisebenzisa, iCanada ithi uninzi lwamapolisa ayo bayayisebenzisa (emsebenzini, ewe). Inani leeBoomers ezisetyenzisiweyo iphindwe kabini ukusukela ngo-2006. Abo badala-65-plus baye babona into ebalulekileyo nakubasebenzisi bentsangu benyanga nenyanga (elo nani beliphantse lalinguziro phakathi ku-2000s). Yonke into obukade ungayi kuyenza ukuba ukrokre ukuba usebenzisa i-cannabis ngoku uzama isityalo. Mhlawumbi, i-OLCC kufanelekile ukuba ilumkise ulutsha malunga nootatomkhulu noomakhulu babo abakhanyayo.

Njengazo zonke iinkcubeko ze-niche ezithathwa njengesiqhelo, intsangu iye yachitha izikhumba ezindala kwaye yafumana ezintsha apha endleleni. U-Ian Van Veen Shaughnessy, u-CEO weeRare Industries, uxelele uMbonisiukubaintsanguumhlabangoku iqulethe uninzi lwamagama amaninzi kunye nolungelelwaniso. Ngaphantsi kwesambrela seRare Industries, uyabaleka Uluhlu , Ipeni ye-vaporizer ebeka phambili i-micro-dosing kwaye inike uyilo oluqwalaselweyo, oluncinci. Uphawu lweQuill, kunye neCharbonneau Ibrokholi limele ubuhle obutsha bokuzonwabisa ngokusebenzisa i-cannabis-ithathelwa ingqalelo, kodwa idlalwe ngokudibeneyo.

UShaughnessy ukholelwa ukuba i-cannabis ihleli kumda wenkcubeko yokuphinda yenziwe, njengekofu eyenziweyo'I-90 kunye nemimoya yobugcisa phakathi kwe-'00s. Wayeyazi, naye. Wayenayo ikhefi, wayithengisa, wayenomsebenzi omfutshane njenge-barista yokhuphiswano, emva koko waseka i-micro-distillery eChicago, ngaphambi kokuqhuba iiRare Industries.

Ikofu yinto entle yokufanisa noku ngenxa yokuba unazo zonke ezi roasters ezincinci, unenani leenkampani ezinkulu ezimangalisayo, ezivelisa ikofu elungileyo. Ayisiyonto inye okanye enye, kodwa inokuqulatha zonke ezi zigidi, kwaye i-cannabis ilandela indlela efanayo, iShaughnessyutshilo.

Ukunyaniseka, i-cannabis kwakukudala ilindelwe ngenxa yokuphinda kwenziwe igama kwakhona. Ukuba uqaphele, mnaunayo ikakhulu kubhekiselwe kuyo njenge-cannabis kweli nqaku. Oku bekuyinjongo, njengoko kunjalo ngabasebenzi abanzulu ngaphakathi kwisithuba abayibizayo. Abanye abantu bangaphandle bahlekisa ngale nto, kodwakwakhona,iNguwo lowo igama lesityalo. Nanini na xa ndisiva umntu esithi imbiza, ndicinga ukuba bangaphezulu kweminyaka engama-40 kwaye kusenokwenzeka ukuba babeyimvubu. Ukhula luyasebenziseka, kodwa lukwachaza ubukho obungafunekiyo kuso nasiphi na isitiya esizihlonelayo. Akukho lizwi liphethe imithwalo engaphezulu kwentsangu, igama elinemvelaphi engaziwayo yaseMexico. UHarry Anslinger, i-bureaucrat ye-anti-cannabis crusading bureaucrat, wasebenzisa igama elivakalayo ukuhambisa uloyiko lwabantu baseMelika abamhlophe ukunyanzelisa ukuthintela nge-1930s.

Ndiyathemba ukuba akukho nasinye isandi esivakala siqhelekile kuwe namhlanje.

Enkosi kuthintelo kunye nentshutshiso eqhubekayo yomdibaniso, ukuqonda kwethu i-cannabis, kubandakanya imisebenzi yayo, ubunzima bayo beemolekyulikwayeUkutshintsha kwayo, kunokuba kubukeke.

Olona hlobo lubalulekileyo lubalulekileyo kukususa nje, njenge,Andicingi ukuba kufuneka sinike i-cannabis isazisi esitsha, uchaze intatheli ye-cannabis uLauren Yoshiko. Kufuneka sazi isazisi sayo sokuqala ngaphambi kokuba imithetho echasene neziyobisi iqale ukwenzeka kwaye iimfazwe zaseMexico naseMelika zaqala ngoba,kum,yeyona ndlela ilungileyo, eyona ndlela isempilweni yokunceda ukunciphisa ulwazi olungelulo.

Ndicinga ukuba ukusebenzisa 'i-cannabis' njengegama lelinye icandelo lelo phazili lokunceda abantu baqonde ukuba sisityalo nje, wongeze watsho. Andizami ukukufundisa ngesiyobisi esitsha esintsonkothileyo ekufuneka ungoyiki kangako. Ndizama ukukukhumbuza, sisityalo nje.

UYoshiko akayedwa kule nto yokubhala. Kulo nyaka ababhali boncwadi abanjengoMichael Pollan noTao Lin bayamkela esidlangalaleni i-cannabis kunye ne-psychedelics, bepapasha Utshintsha Njani Ingqondo kwaye Uhambo , ngokulandelelana. Nangona uPollan wayenguvulindlela wokuqala ekuphakamiseni ubuchule be-cannabis njengesityalo , nguLin ozibeka ngaphakathi kwenkampu ekhulayo ethatha i-cannabis njengokutya okufunekayo. I-Shaughnessy kunye Ibhotolo yomlingo Umphathi omkhulu u-Garyn Angel uvakalise uluvo olufanayo kum, no-Shaughnessy esithi abantu abaninzi abasandula ukufika bayayikhaba le ngcinga kuba bayisebenzisa gwenxa itrayi yabo yokuqala. Ukukhuphela ngokudibeneyo xa ungazange utye i-cannabis kufana nokucofa kathathu i-Bacardi 151 kwisiselo sakho sokuqala, utshilo uShaughnessy.

Kwi Uhambo , U-Lin ubeka ngempumelelo i-cannabis kubudlelwane bayo obude kunye nabantu, uhlala ekhankanya i-psychedelic trailblazers ezinje ngo-Terence McKenna no-Kathleen Harrison. Ngelixa ubuchule be-marijuana njenge-anti-inflammatory ayisiyonto intsha, uLin ucacisa ukuba kutheni kubalulekile kuwo wonke umntu, ngakumbi kwabo bangekho kwintlungu yangoko emzimbeni.

Iphepha le-2015 kwi Iimvakalelo ekubhekiswe kuyo kwincwadi yakhe kubonise ukuba uxinzelelo lweklinikhi lunxulunyaniswa nokudumba okuphezulu, uLinubhalengaphezulu kwe-imeyile. Ubudlelwane obuqine kakhulu, abaphandi baqaphele, phakathi kwamanqanaba okuvuvukala kunye nokulinganisa iimvakalelo ezifanelekileyo kwafunyanwa kukothuka, kulandelwa, hayi ngokusondeleyo, ngovuyo, ukuzingca, kunye nolwaneliseko Uhambo .

Ukuqhutywa zobuhle, ukuqhubela phambili kwezityalo, ukongeza kwezempilo. I-Cannabis inokuba ilahlekile, kodwa mhlawumbi oko kwakungabalulekanga kwindalo yayo njengoko sasicinga. Xa ukungcungcutheka kwebala lokuhlanya okungafunekiyo kuphela, iziseko zolwimi kunye nokuqonda kunokukhula ngokujikeleze i-cannabis.Ngokufana nokuvula ibhiya emva komsebenzi ayichazi ngokupheleleyo indlela umntu aphila ngayo okanye inkqubo yexabiso, ngokunjalo nokusebenzisa i-cannabis. Sibona lonke olu tshintsho luqhelekileyo kwi-cannabis kude ekubeni yinto eyenzelwa ngamatye kunye nehippies kwinto esetyenziswa ngumntu wonke, utshilo uShaughnessy.

Wonke umntu ubandakanya iiRiphabhlikhi, rap, amagqala, oonontlalontle, abantu abadala, iimfazwe zempelaveki, oomama bebhola ekhatywayo, iikholeji kunye nezinye ezininzi. I-Cannabis ngokucacileyo ayinalo umthwalo wokuphola kwakhona.
