Well, let's see.....what shall the topic of discussion be, how about legalizing Marijuana? I for one thinks it's a helluva good idea. Growing up in the late 60's early 70's marijuana, mary jane, whackyweed, cannabis, pot and whatever you might have called it was the "high" of choice. No hangover, just sore ribs and cheeks from laughing so much....oh and the aftermath of eating everything in sight.(kind of makes me chuckle thinking about it).
If you think about the revenue from tobacco taxes and what you could bring in on a pack of Panama Red, Jamaican Gold, Acapulco Gold, Hawaiian... the numbers would be astounding. People with medical issues would be allowed to purchase it legally and a whole lot cheaper than the drugs provided by our big business pharmaceutical companies. Hell, we could grow our own right along side the rest of our favorite garden varieties , afterall it is a pretty plant.
My personal feelings on the matter is this..I would rather have someone who has smoked a couple of joints or doobies behind the wheel of a car than someone who has been in a bar for hours drinking. The worst that might happen would be the stoner might drive a little slow.
