Actually, what happened was the use of the cannabis opened the otherwise closed eyes and mind of the user to the non-stop lies, propaganda, filth and trash on the MSM, and THAT resulted in his recurrent vomiting.
Once he stopped his usage of cannabis, his mind quickly receded into obedience and acceptance, and the MSMs vile messages and content quickly became palatable and ultimately, enjoyable. No more vomiting. Problem solved!
So the lesson is clear: if you want to avoid daily projectile vomiting, avoid cannabis and any type of 'awakening' like the plague, and lovingly embrace the PTB's MSM in all its mind-numbing glory. ;-)
Oh, and have some state-approved alcohol, too, while you're at it. That's another mind-number/body destroyer that the PTB absolutely LOVES you to enjoy as well. It goes swimmingly with the MSMs propaganda and disinformation, like a beer with a whiskey chaser. Or a sledgehammer to your cranial vault. Alcohol is your FRIEND (and cannabis is your ENEMY.) Forget about alcohol frying and killing brain cells. It's state approved.
So drink up and boil those brains, baby! Who needs 'em anyway? The PTB and their MSM will do all your thinking for you, and you don't even need to thank them. Merely "CONSUME" and "OBEY" and never, ever put on those cannabis-induced "They Live" glasses again. I mean, who wants to THINK when they can simply CONSUME and OBEY! ;-) ;-)
But in all seriousness, folks, the British government did the only really exhaustive study of the effects of cannabis usage in large populations in the late 1800's in India, in order to determine if cannabis use was deleterious to health of mind, body or society, and therefor, if it needed to be strictly regulated and/or eradicated. It was called, "The Indian Hemp Drugs Commission" report (easily found on Wikipedia or by simple Google search.)
The result?
A 3200+ page report that took years to exhaustively examines cannabis usage in India, and its effects on various critical aspects of personal health and societal balance and harmony.
The Commission's conclusions?
The British medical authorities concluded that light to moderate daily usage of cannabis was not deleterious to physical or mental health of the individuals or society at large in any meaningful way they could find, and in fact, actually could be considered therapeutic in effect for some people. Here's the quote from the report's conclusion:
"In regard to the physical effects, the Commission have come to the conclusion that the moderate use of hemp drugs is practically attended by no evil results at all. There may be exceptional cases in which, owing to idiosyncrasies of constitution, the drugs in even moderate use may be injurious. There is probably nothing the use of which may not possibly be injurious in cases of exceptional intolerance."
And this,
"In respect to the alleged mental effects of the drugs, the Commission have come to the conclusion that the moderate use of hemp drugs produces no injurious effects on the mind. It may indeed be accepted that in the case of specially marked neurotic diathesis, even the moderate use may produce mental injury. For the slightest mental stimulation or excitement may have that effect in such cases. But putting aside these quite exceptional cases, the moderate use of these drugs produces no mental injury."
And this,
"In regard to the moral effects of the drugs, the Commission are of opinion that their moderate use produces no moral injury whatever. There is no adequate ground for believing that it injuriously affects the character of the consumer."
And a WHOPPER of a conclusion,
"Viewing the subject generally, it may be added that the moderate use of these drugs is the rule, and that the excessive use is comparatively exceptional. The moderate use practically produces no ill effects. In all but the most exceptional cases, the injury from habitual moderate use is not appreciable. The excessive use may certainly be accepted as very injurious, though it must be admitted that in many excessive consumers the injury is not clearly marked. The injury done by the excessive use is, however, confined almost exclusively to the consumer himself; the effect on society is rarely appreciable. It has been the most striking feature in this inquiry to find how little the effects of hemp drugs have obtruded themselves on observation. The large number of witnesses of all classes who professed never to have seen these effects, the vague statements made by many who professed to have observed them, the very few witnesses who could so recall a case as to give any definite account of it, and the manner in which a large proportion of these cases broke down on the first attempt to examine them, are facts which combine to show most clearly how little injury society has hitherto sustained from hemp drugs (1:264)."
(Now, compare THAT to alcohol's effect on people and society in general. No comparison, folks.)
Of course, the Commission's findings did NOT change the British authorities view of the drug for UK usage, nor bring any big change in policies in colonial India, as the Brits were really only interested in seeing if the use of cannabis would in any way economically impact their colonialist needs and desires, and whether they needed to ban it from the standpoint of maximizing production and control of the population.
Bottom line from the Commission: If cannabis made the natives happy and didn't make them sick, lazy, insolent, resistant workers, no problem!
It was ALL about maximizing colonial cash flow, baby.
Altruism? British PTB concern for the health of the average Indian coolie and his family? Don't make me laugh (or vomit.)
And the same applies today.......
