Well, maybe make yourself more clear next time. But, that’s not the case. Even though I think marijuana should be legal, I don’t put it in the same boat as hemp. Hemp DOES have several uses. I have hemp clothes (which aren’t itchy), purses, shoes, necklaces, and more. I even have books printed on hemp paper. It’s so hard to grow because of all the government regulations. Plus, calling hemp and marijuana the same thing is like saying a Pit Bull is the same thing as a Chihuahua. Yes they’re both dogs, but definitely not the same.
I think marijuana should be legal, too. I mean seriously, what harm does marijuana do? Let’s try this…
A group of friends get together to party. Someone breaks out a bag of weed and everyone gets high. They sit on the couch and possibly play video games, listen to music, get out instruments and play music, sketch, write, have some pretty thoughtful discussions, or maybe cook up some great concoctions . Not so bad, eh? I really don’t see any harm in that.
Then, we can compare that to the other option that oh so many people choose:
A group of friends get together to party. Someone breaks out a few bottles of liquor and a case of beer. They get drunk. Now, most drunks get loud, obnoxious, hostile, argumentative, and it usually ends up in a fight. Or, they decide to go out to the bar because they ran out of alcohol since they’re not thinking correctly because they’re FUCKED UP. Hmm…drinking + driving. Sounds like a much better idea than smoking weed, huh? So, after drinking even MORE, they decide to make their way back to the house. Crash, boom, people die.
Also you can think about the number of people who get in trouble for possessing a few grams of weed. Is it really necessary to lock someone up for smoking weed? I could see if that person was selling it to kids who aren’t old enough and don’t have the mental capacity to make decisions for themselves. What if it was legal? The government could regulate it, sell it, tax it, make tons of money, and there wouldn’t be as many people in jail for simply wanting to toke. Hmm…that means less crowded prisons/jails and more room for the real criminals.
But anyway, I guess that’s just my opinion. It’s not like it makes sense or anything. (it’s okay to admit I have a valid point)
