I had to drive down Broadway today for work and there were lines out the door at the MMJ establishments, of what appeared to be lots of perfectly healthy young people, waiting to celebrate 420!
I'm fine with legalization, as long as they figure out a way to test for "high" so employers can keep stoned people off the job. Easy to do with alcohol, but not sure how you do it with pot. Maybe put a bowl of Doritos at the door?
Too bad future generations aren't here to see all the great things we are spending their $$ on!!
Today I raise my glass of ice tea and toast the one and only plant that got me through 2 years of cancer treatments including more than 12 months of chemo and lots of radiation. Without the help of man made chemicals, I was able to keep an appetite, lessen my nausia and dehydration, and I was able to get some sleep during my most painful and darkest days.
There is a reason for this plant being on this earth, and it's not to be feared. Anything can be abused including gasoline and model glue....trying to prevent people from smoking a plant is like trying to get people to stop eating fat and sugar...a big fat waste of time and resources.
I don't use it unless I need it, but when I need it, I will get it..even if it's just to help me sleep. So if a bunch of stoners want to celebrate 420 day and smoke themselves into an ultra liberal stuper, I say PARTY ON GARTH!!! I have more important stuff to worry about.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
I have a coworker who is suffering through her 50th round of chemo and I'll be the last person to stand in the way of her getting any medicine she needs to recover.
In the meanwhile, pot is still illegal for recreational use but most people seem to take a casual attitude toward recreational use of pot. The States and the Feds need to sort out what is and is not legal; if it is ever deemed legal then I say tax the SH*T out of it just like booze and tobacco.
Perhaps Prohibition provides a model for how to collapse the black market and drug traffickers but so far the DEA, DHS, ATF, FBI, and local law enforcement agencies don't seem to have the upper hand on the drug trade.
SO, if pot became legal, would there be more or less illegal drug trafficking? I assume the user base would expand and that those who became aware of cheaper sources would become customers despite the risk of arrest and prosecution.

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
