Long Long Long ago when I was just a little young child I remember my father telling me that if I ever said anything about what he was doing which in my eyes was making the room smell like a skunk that he could get in alot of trouble and I could get taken away. I remember thinking why what is so wrong with this? He was a pot head and it never botherd me at all. To be truefull I enjoyed the smell of the cannabis much more over my mothers cancer stick addiction. Today I have only hit a cigerette one time and it was because I thought it was a joint (i was drunk). On the other hand I do smoke cannabis and have already been through the whole "I need to be stoned before I do anything stage and everything is better when I am". I rarely buy it anymore but wont turn it down if I get the chance. I have learned also that there is a time and a place and that isnt all the time anywhere either. I have used gravity bongs, joints, blunts, vaporizers, hookas, volcano hookas (my personal favorite), steam rollers, gas masks, pretty much anything you can think of. I have eaten it in many forms as well. I get decent grades in college and have had a full time job for 3 years, I may have been fired here and there but only to return within a week.
I feel like im living proof that it is not such a bad thing and people need to be more aware of it and not so judgemental. I think that marijuana being illegal is based on lies and disinformation and that if people think that marijuana will be elininatied fro the planet is a ridiculous fantasy. Marijuana has fewer dangerous and hazardous effects on society than legal drugs such as alchohol, tobacco, and prescription drugs. Currancy flows from our American economy to international criminal gangs. It is just like the prohibiton period. The modern day prohibition on this substance has failed to control the use and domestic production of the plant; a plant that is used to develop hemp which is valuable as a agricultrural crop in the United States. This has even been developed as a new bio-fuel that would reduce the carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
I really belive that Marijuana is less harmful than people think. It is not lethal and is safer than alcohol. Its proben that its not toxic to the human body (you cant overdose on it). Caffeine, tobacco, and alcohol are more addictive than it. WHY IS IT ILLEGAL?
If you can belive this it is the largest cash crop in the United States and is grown not just here but all over the planet. 25 Million people use it annyually.
Like I said earlier its used to support criminals this is the problem just as alcohol was used during its prohibition. Why does it send billions of dollars over seas instead of being something potential in our economy. I think maybe if it was regulated it would reduce the use of other drugs in the illegal market. I know people that are on probation and would rather eat acid or exctacy because it doesnt stay in the system as long.
In our American history we have tried many ties to make marijuna legal for many years since the 1930s. I think this hasnt happend because the fear of change (come on Obama). All of this has only produced failing results and not taking us anywhere close to the obvious logical factors we sohould stop and consider. I think we need to take a step back just as I did when I was 8 for god sakes and realize that it is pretty harmless. Compare it to alcohol when they are place next to eachother the comparison is unbelievable.
Lets start using logical ways to find the real results of the many uses it has. I think that If America doesnt want to be full of stoners I think its too late for that and we are missing out on the money we could be making from it.
Sorry I just got a little worked up about it thats all I have to say.
