If God Didn't Want it Here, it Would Be Gone like the Dinosaurs; Marijuana is Here to Stay

I have smoked pot.

In fact, in the past, I have smoked probably enough pot to keep one grower in business for a year. That is how much pot I used to smoke. Back then, I didn't smoke it for other reasons than to be stoned. Stoned is fun. When you are stoned everything is funny. And at the end of it all, after you have laughed at a fly on the wall, you eat a bunch of food, sit and vegetate in front of the television. Then you fall asleep.

However there are people in the world who want you to believe that if you smoke a little bit of reefer, you are going to end up doing something really stupid, like trying to shove your entire closed fist into your mouth just to see if you can.

I'm sorry, but those people who produced that commercial and the commercials like it are wrong. Also wrong is the assumption that people are going to try to to more lethal substances if they try pot once. There are legions of people right now, people who have not ever even done more than watch one of those very biased, one-sided commercials, believing that pot is the most evil substance on the planet.

These are the same people, or at least a lot of them, who vilify people like me so that they and people like them can continue to pop pills and wash said pills down with a shot of vodka. Their reasoning is that the pills are legal. Their assumption is that since the pills are legal, then they are also safe. Yeah, safe like too many shots of vodka, right?

I have friends who have family who are like those people who would vilify me because of the things that I choose to do in order that my menstral cramps are easier to deal with, my carpal-tunnel syndrome not so painful, and a myriad of other aches and pains are not so painful that I cannot deal with them. I get to eat and laugh and then woo-hoo! I even get to go to sleep, and I don't have to pop any pills to do it.
