"If there was anything that God gave to the planet, it is the substance of hemp. The fact that government and a lot of religious groups are against it merely demonstrates how misguided the human species has become and how much we need to get our priorities in order -- to put the life of the planet before the profits of the already rich.

"Cannabis made me a lot more appreciative of the world in which I live. It made me think about the flipside of all of my actions and the consequences of the people around me. It has helped me relax when I'm stressed and cheered me up when I've been depressed. Even though I've cut down, I still can't see life without weed."
