I was not thinking when I made the post about cops. I apologize for the remark.
A little more thought before posting would seem advisable.
JC, very well said, dear.
The History Channel program about the history of drugs in general was very interesting, in that it played the issue as more of a racial one. Mexicans were the biggest pot smokers & people didn't want them around (de ja veux) so they made their recreational drug illegal as an excuse to get rid of the migrants (who worked their asses off & used the herb to chill out at the end of their long days). The other push came from the companies who used wood to make paper & saw the hemp industry as its rival. It was good business for them to demonize the plant & its effects. Made em lots of money.
In my days of working in kitchens, I noticed that the majority of the back of the house staff indulged in such activites & still worked their asses off & did an excellent job. Go eat at Ruby's, Applebee's, O'Charley's, Outback, you name it & chances are, your food was prepared & served by potheads. They work, they pay taxes, they love their families. They are a different breed entirely than meth heads. That shit is pure poison to the user & anyone living in the area where its made. Meth = evil.
As to the politics, I'm with Buttercup. There are tons of other things we need to put our energies towards fixing before we take up this argument in earnest. The system itself is corrupt & broken. Let's try to resurrect democracy before anyone tries to stick a joint in its mouth.
Change how you see, not how you look.
