Thoughts on Legalization of Marijuana
I saw the documentary, Grass, recently, and it really reinforced why I feel the way I do about legalization. I am not necessarily opposed to legalization itself, as it wouldn’t impact me in the least, any more than cigarette smoking being legal. That is, whether it’s legal or not has no influence on whether I believe it is a wise choice to make — punching yourself in the face repeatedly isn’t illegal either, but it’s still stupid. What I am opposed to is the “legalization movement.” This group is every bit as preachy as the other side, and the average guy I know who advocates legalization is just as willing to spout misconceptions and half-truths.
It’s just obnoxious, and annoying. Of all the potential freedoms from government influence they could be fighting for, this is the cause they pick? Honestly, just grow a plant of your own, toke up in your house, and find a new cause to champion. You’re not helping your cause by being a whining loser, and there are so many more worthwhile causes to advocate — causes that will have a meaningful impact on society.
