Freedom

Canabix - Its all about freedom.

Why do we pick such a name? Why include leaves of certain plants in the art? It is simple, it's about freedom.

You see, while we don't advocate the use of illegal substances, it is not your government that should decide what you with your body, just as it's not their place to legislate what you do with your computer, as long as your not hurting anyone else. What you do in the privacy of your own home is your business.

Perhaps the other members of your household should have a say in what happens there, but not a government agency of any sort, again as long as your not hurting someone else. Now what defines hurt? That is a moral judgment that can be debated. In this case we mean physical harm.

There are many mind altering substances that are legal, and the people who use them are the same ones that tell you that you are not allowed to use others. But you know something? That's the pot calling the kettle black. Any reasonably educated scientist will be able to tell you that all drugs are bad, but they are wrong. There are drugs that save people's lives all the time. Ask any doctor.

Now lets be a little more on topic about the substance we are not promoting with the art. You know that in many places it is not illegal? In some places it is used as a medicine. In others it is used to make rope. There are many uses for the plant, and yes many people do smoke it. Fine. We have no problem with that. We have no problem if they don't. Do you get it yet?

Now, I will say it one more time, just for clarity's sake. We do not condone the use of cannabis, but we don't discourage it either. It is YOUR CHOICE. It's all about freedom.
