Should Medicinal Cannabis approved for political conservatism.
-
Political conservatism is a psychological condition characterised by the employment of a wide range of strategies to try to avoid facing facts. The reality is that the world has never been a better place to live in its entire history than right now, and the primary way in which the quality of human life has advanced is by the discovery of new knowledge, of new facts.
Conservatives, being afraid of the future retreat into a nostalgic fantasy world of a fictional past and try to deny any inconvenient facts that bring about human advancement. As we saw recently in the USA, quite a lot of conservatives seem to think 1930's Nazi Germany was a great time and place to live.
Fortunately for sane people, but unfortunately for them, conservatives are always on the wrong side of history. Every battle they have fought, they have lost. Slavery got abolished, women got the vote, gay people can get married. But constantly losing is very stressful for conservatives. That is why I propose that anyone self-identifying as a conservative, be given immediate access to Cannabis for medical reasons.
