Marijuana has been given a negative reputation for decades as nothing more than a "gateway" drug; impairing your motor skills or resulting in laziness. This substance needs to be given a new header.
Consider this your coming out party, pot.
People do not pay enough attention to the danger in consuming alcohol, or the distribution of medicinal narctoics. These legal proucts have been proven hazardous, addictive, and damaging to the people who use them; whether it be recreationally or doctor perscribed. The reality of the situation is, there are more deaths per year from the use of these controlled substances than there have EVER been from smoking a joint with your friends.
This is an all natural plant that is used with the intention to relax you, create feelings of ease and zen. Not to impair your ability to reason, or cause you to black out like hitting the bottle does. Nor is marijuana designed to cause an instant addiction such as some of the ingridients found in OxyCodon.
People need to stop taking the recreational use of Marijuana so seriously. It's a "drug" that people will never stop using for various reasons. The more you tell us to do something, the easier it is for us to want to do it, and where there's a will, unfortunately, there is a way.
As humans we have the ability to do things in moderation, to tell ourselves when enough is enough, but when did we lose such faith in our choice to "say no". If you don't want to get high, don't get high. If you do, the penalties resulting in your ability to hit the bowl are beyond unreasonable. Jail time, community service, mandatory rehabilitation classes. Harsh reality, huh?
Get over it, America. It's just pot. Reach out to your inner frat boy and indugle.
