Thoughts on... Legalizing it.

Yes I smoke pot. Not every single day, I'm not one of those people who gets bored without it, but I smoke it on a regular basis. Yes, I know it's not the most productive thing to do with your time. Yes, I know it's expensive. Yes I know it makes you lazy, eat too much, forget things, and giggle when nothing's funny.

But to be perfectly honest, what has weed done that's really hurt anyone?

It's a gateway drug. Stop blaming an innocent cannabis plant on you or your friend's heroin addiction.
It's addictive. Do you even know anything about addiction? The trans fats in your Mickey D's cheeseburger have more addictive properties than THC. Not to mention McDonald's actually KILLS people.

It causes memory problems, difficulty thinking, and a decline in judgement and problem-solving skills. This is a really twisted statistic. Yes, when your high you become forgetful and maybe can't do your Calc homework, but it's only while youre high. It has no permanent or even long term effects on the brain.

Legalizing it will cause an influx of users. Buying a bag is easier than buying alchohol if you're underage. Anyone who wants to smoke weed will.

Get off your fucking pedastal, people. There are way more harmful things that are truly destroying our country right now that are perfectly legal and always will be. Actual moral issues. Like, I don't know, the fact that Walmart abuses it's employees on a daily basis and is driving up our tax dollars by the billions because they refuse to give their workers any actual benefits. Or how about the fact that it's still legal for an adoption agency to turn a couple away because they are gay?

It's interesting the way we prioritize things. Oh well, agree with me or not about legalizing it, don't you think we should be putting our government's money towards things that actually matter? If it's not your thing, rock the fuck on. You're allowed to make your choice about it, shouldn't I be allowed to make mine?
