Mention of Properties/ Benefits |
“Blue Dream is one of the best-seller cannabis in the US. With its anti-depressive and analgesic effect and the berry-like taste, no doubt that it becomes more and more popular.”
|
“If you are not kratom users, you would not know the benefits of it. I tried to find the pros and cons of this drug and found mostly pros. For example, knowing more people, sharing experience, having responsibility, knowing how to manage finances or supply, never causing trouble to other people (better than alcohol). There are some cons, for example, learning impairment (but in my experience my friends have good grades and I want everyone to be like this)…”
|
“… The medical properties are anti-diarrheal and some would say it could treat diabetes.”
| ||
Opinion |
“Cannabis cures everything.”
|
“It’s friendship. Even we are in different age or different socioeconomic status, when we sit together, we all allies. When we get drunk, we never fight any one. The thing that happens is only friendship.”
|
“Cannabis kills no one.”
| ||
“Good for your mind. Everyone likes it.”

| ||
“Cannabis has never lied so I love it all my heart”
