Oman is dealing here with a very interesting topic – to what extent can the style and way of life of an entire culture be colored by the attitudes and assumptions generated by the action of a particular psychoactive plant or substance? The idea that the architectural styles and design of Mahal Delhi or Isfasan of the 10th century is to some extent inspired by hashish has a definite meaning. There is something in the idea that alcohol mediated the development of the social forms and cultural image of feudal Europe. Aesthetic prerequisites and styles are indicative of those levels and types of understanding and awareness that are sanctioned by society. Any sticking to a plant will lead to a tendency to single out certain moments and detract from others.
Manifestations of taste and personal expression guided by aesthetics are usually anathema to the “shifted” state of mind of the cultures of dominion. In such cultures with the absence of any living traditions of plant consumption, dissolving social conditionality, such manifestations are usually considered the prerogative of women. Men who focus on these points are often mistaken for homosexuals, since they do not follow the generally accepted canons of male behavior adopted by the model of dominion. The long hair of men with the advent of marijuana in the United States in the 1960s was a clear example of the influx of obviously feminine values accompanying the consumption of a plant dissolving border “ego”. The hysterical reaction to such a small change in customary morals revealed all the insecurity and fear,experienced by the male “ego” in the presence of any factor that could help restore the meaning of partnership in human relations.
In this regard, it is interesting to note that hemp is of both male and female appearance. And just the identification, cultivation and cultivation of the female cannabis species is the main concern if the plant breeder is interested in the narcotic effect, as tar is the product of exclusively female plants. Male plants, however, not only do not give usable material, but also stop the production of tar from female plants, which begin to produce “seed” if male pollen falls on them. So this is a kind of happy coincidence that the subjective effects of cannabis consumption, as well as the care and attention needed to produce a good kind of tar, are combined to emphasize the qualities of worship and preservation of the feminine.
Of all the widespread plant-based intoxicants that inhabit the Earth, hemp is second only to mushrooms in supporting social values and sensory relationships that personified the original partner societies. How else to explain the ruthless pursuit of cannabis consumption in the face of the obvious fact that, of all the intoxicating substances ever used, cannabis is among the safest. Its social consequences are no match for the effects of alcohol. Hemp is a curse for a culture of dominion, because it consumes among those who consume it and it helps to remove the conditionality from accepted values. Due to the psychedelic effects on the subconscious, hemp, as the personification of lifestyle, brings its admirers into intuitive contact with behavioral patterns,less focused on rivalry and competition. It is because of this that marijuana is unacceptable in the modern culture of the office, while beverages such as coffee, which increase the value of the “merits” of industrial culture, are welcomed and encouraged. Consumption of cannabis, apparently, is perceived as something heretical and deeply disloyal in relation to the values of male influence and strict hierarchy. Thus, the legalization of marijuana is difficult because it includes the legalization of a specific social factor that could cultivate, or even modify, values based on the dominance of the ego.Consumption of cannabis, apparently, is perceived as something heretical and deeply disloyal in relation to the values of male influence and strict hierarchy.

Legalization and taxation of hemp would provide a tax base to cover the national budget deficit. Instead, we continue to flout millions of dollars to eradicate marijuana. Such a policy creates suspicion and immutability of the criminal class in the communities that are otherwise the most law-abiding in the country.
As already mentioned, the disrespect of society for consuming hemp is a disguised disrespect for the values of the community and the feminine. How else to explain the desire of the environment to constantly reject the use of this psychedelic tool and the underground social experiments of the 60s? The fear that the “flower children” (hippies) have spawned in the establishment becomes understandable if we analyze it in the light of the idea of a collision of the establishment with an explosion of non-parental thinking based on the weakening sense of self-importance.
