Cannabis Culture

Already an apology is due, which is only better than one already overdue, Yes, I know cannabis is a place of multiple and diversely celebrated subcultures, And, yes, I realize chaos and complexity may be civilly sipped and thirstily gulped from diverse alcohol subcultures, pedigrees, castes of enumerated strength, weakness, risk, altered opportunity. Even so, although it may feel peculiar to follow this bi-cultural thought experiment Let us explore what we might heuristically mean by a Cannabis Culture (CC) versus Alcohol Culture (AC), as we might pursue a feminist versus patriarchal history. I have two CC sons in their AfricanAmerican 20s, both politically and economically at high risk of lifetime failure to thrive. To mental light and physical power survive, younger son is dominated by dark fear; older sun by redhot anger burning against an ecopolitically punishing system With win/lose hostile white privileged lack of good and healthy RightBrain interdependent networking manners Oblivious to CC dense possibilities for healthy cooperative multi-therapeutic intent; Stuck in blood poisoning AC self-traumatizing medication worthy of a patriarchal capitalist straight white supremacist wounded child traumatized by Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Hostile oppositional defiant aggressive curiously threatened by CC organic-fed and clear watered bicameral awareness of polypathic climate anxiety About outside degenerating subclimates, faltering public universal healthcare systems and concomitant inside struggling polycultural CC values for multiculturing ego-health encountering polypathic eco-wealth. It interests CC biased me, and causes grave AC concern, that RightBrain prominent younger son's disenfranchising fear wishes older sun's angry hot potential allies were more LeftBrain curious about therapeutic values of nonviolent communication. Angry-CC suns are often under- and unemployed, in part, because their trauma medication is a hiring barrier to securing a secular job, and to attracting a sacred vocation, while their AC former friends and learning peers, more white and patriarchally privileged pass with patriotic fervor their blood and uncriminalized background tests. Angry-CC solar flaring suns demand their Fear-CC brothers and timid sisters aggressively demonstrate empowering eco-political courage to erupt CC hegemony. Yet all the CCs and ACs above behave as if we suffer less because of our employment marginalizing, and potentially criminalizing, choices And feel as if we win more when we suns and windblown daughters recognize and appreciate each AC/CC bicamerolling Other When we organize deep CC nonviolent listening circles, open to our patriarchal capitalist straight white AC LeftBrain degenerative nemesis. Alcohol-natured and Old Cannabis-spirited indigenous nature/spirit wisdom among bicameral polyculturalists could synergetically co-mediate global thinking and feeling Bilaterally rebalancing internal external co-passion communions Globally conscious Ego/EcoSystemic CC politically resonates with and passionately for and of public health solidarity systems reconnecting all bicamerally co-binary eco-wealthy EarthTribes.
