Should Cannabis become a central aspect of modern European culture?

[portusaus]

Secularism is causing the youth in many western countries to rapidly abandon Christianity, leaving a cultural gap that results in a lack of national solidarity. Considering the numerous benefits mass-cannabis consumption could provide, should this void be filled with a Nationalistic modern Cannabis culture?

I think so. Much less detrimental than alcohol.

I am more negative to weed than positive and I dislike the culture surrounding it but please tell what a Nationalistic modern Cannabis culture would be like! :D

There is no especial reason why discourse about cannabis consumption should be racialized. Cannabis is mentioned in ancient Chinese medical texts, cannabis seeds have been found at Germanic grave-sites, the Scythians were known consumers of cannabis, and the Germanic Goths were familiar with Hanafs from their trading with Scythians and Central Asians. Cannabis seeds have been found at early human settlements, spreading with migration routes in central Asia, and cannabis has been consumed as a part of ancient Vedic rites in India since the earliest of times. Cannabis remains an esteemed part of Hindu rituals in India and Nepal to this day.

Interesting how Norway and Sweden maintain their position for such progressive nations.

a worst enemy of European culture

No offence, but Europe could use sharp minded, strong willed and healthy individuals instead.

Holidays of national reconciliation, communal solidarity, and of course coordinated mass smoking should be installed by the state. Flags could be flown everywhere, national music blared, and the People would flow to the streets.

International competition would arise, as growers all over Europe compete to create the grandest of all strains in the name of their country.

Unity amongst Europe robs us of a natural competitive urge to aid one's own people to overcome any domination by a foreign party. The Olympics are not enough.

Cannabis' effects are very varied based on the specific strain, and new strains can always be breed. Imagine if a French person were to create an extremely unique, globally-famous strain by the name of 'kuche française'. You can damn well assume that competitors all over Europe will be working around the clock to surpass the French with a dime strain of their own, for their nation.

The point of this would be to fill the gap that a lack of nearly unified spirituality amongst Europeans has occupied for over a thousand years. Cannabis use is rising, cannabis technology is advancing rapidly, and decriminalization / legalization campaigns are stronger and more potentiated than ever. This could be the time to say, Yes.

If I was asked, it would be a firm NO!

Lack of culture just means europeans will be replaced, good job leftists. Weed is not going to do anything to make new generation a reality :lol:

I suggest Jew-worship whilst at the same time denying it's Jew-worship and claiming Jews killed the Jew you're worshipping when in reality European pagans killed the Jew their descedants would later worship...or has that been done?
