Happy 4/20

For some that know, today is the holy of all holy days for potheads throughout the world. This is something that seems to be more and more prevalent as of late. Well, maybe it just seems that way to me, but I'm hearing of more and more people who partake either regularly, or from time to time. People that I would have never thought would even have that stuff in their house much less than smoke it! What is this world coming to? ;-)

Do we legalize it? Do we keep it as part of the notorious underworld? Here's the thing. People do it. I can't even begin to tell you how many people I know that smoke on a regular or semi-regular basis. These are people that I would never thought would have the stuff in their house much less smoke it. Is it really that big a deal? Depends on who you ask.

Some people will tell you that it's a gateway drug. That there's no way that you can not start doing hard drugs if you smoke marijuana. Some will tell you that it causes people to quit their jobs and become low lives. They basically think that if you start smoking pot you're doomed to a life of misery and drug addiction.

Now there are others that will tell you that it's a completely natural substance. It comes from Mother Earth how can it be bad. There are people who simply do it to relax. Kind of like some people have a drink after a tough day at the office.

Who's right? Is there a right answer? Should it be legal and we let adults decide if that's a route they want to go down. Kind of like the person that decides to walk into that bar and have a drink. Do you think they sit at that bar and think, I'm going to become a raging alcoholic in a few years! I'm pretty sure most don't. Or do we keep it as is. People having to try and find a safe, reliable connection and ending up dealing with things that they had no business dealing with. Does the government legalize it, tax it and try to make some money off of it?

Who knows?? I sure don't, but I'm curious to find out what happens. If anything at all that is.
