‘Reefer's Digest’ : Your hub for dope news, dope knowledge, stories, recipes, laughs and more.
Hello and welcome to Reefer’s Digest!
We are super excited to light up and inhale with you our diverse crop of tantalizing nuggets harvested from the pages of science, wisdom, lore and business, as we peer into the looking glass at the magical world of Cannabis.
Reefer: The person who rolls up; (reefs) the sail on a sailing ship. Or reefer; from the word Grifa, which is Spanish for Marijuana.
This words true origin and how it came to represent an image of weed is a bit artsy, a bit Cheech and Chongy and most notably made infamous by a grand brainwashing scheme. Reefer Madness!
One thing for certain like the flower it represents, the story of Cannabis has so much to share. Our goal is to light up and cultivate a genuine experience through the ever expanding world of what Natures medicine has come to be as we leave behind the fallacious image created by human fear and greed.
New/Old Fact; A study published in May 2019, revealed that fossilized pollen from Cannabis was discovered on a northeastern Plateau in Tibet.
Carbon dating determined it to be 27.8 million years old.
Science reveals that; Time, does tell.
New, news; Cannabis is the most controversial and expanding medicinal category to date. It is now a multi billion dollar industry. Proof that the hand of Mother Nature is timeless and never, gives up.
In 1963 the world was bombarded hard with emotionally charged campaigns of fear, through a movie called Reefer Madness.
This movie was meant to demonize Mexican immigrants who used “Marihuana” for recreational and medicinal purposes along with the Hemp plant it came from.
For over 80 years Marijuana was held behind the wall of organized and unjustified laws of prohibition in order to obscure the trail of several individuals and groups that had high stakes in holding Marijuana. They orchestrated an intricate weave of threats and coercion into a tapestry of lies that appeared as a blanket of truths.
Today, she has outshone being demonized as, the “Devil’s Grass” as those who believe in love and light maintained their silent and not so silent vigil and continued to worship her as a Sacred Herb.
Yet in this very day and age far too many innocent people have been/are tortured, locked up, discredited, vilified, emotionally polarizing families and friends while this greatest awakening draws millions of happy customers into legalized shops to swoon over endless offerings of infused edibles, healing lotions and aromatic potions.
We are all here as witness and players in this game of life and awakening’s whether you believe it or not.
Fear will never out last the vibration of truth. The proof is in the pot.
Now is the time to lay down the old past and create a new one as we meet at the crossroads of emerging scientific data and personal experiential knowledge. Which dates back to over, 12,000 years.
It’s time for man to listen to what Nature has to say and to let go of control over the planet and her terrestrial beings. It will never work. We must move beyond the incessant need for greed. In the end money can’t be eaten, but you can make amazing edibles with Cannabis.
Let’s smoke the peace pipe and welcome this expanding vibration of wisdom and love for one another. Like Bob Marley say’s “When you smoke the herb it reveals you to yourself” Come on let’s get revealed!
