Why Marijuana should be legal I wish nug's was legal, because my life would be so much better. After numerous times trying to quite because of whooping coughs, I have discovered that I can't, even if my lungs turn black. If buds was legal, I could grow my own kind and make muffins with it and never smoke it no more. I don't like to buy it cause I use my money to keep my fucking bikes 'n shit going, so I scrape friends aluminum pipes and have to smoke shiny particles. And when I do buy a bag, I always have to weight for the dank, so I just get the shwag, which is like half fertilizer and gasoline. My lungs keep me up at night because I can't breath smoothly. Why religiouns should support Marijuana even though it is not needed and leads to indulgences Marijuana is a good thing because it makes you happy. It expands your awareness in a way that you appreciate the simple tings in life, laugh, and reflect and see that anything negative is bad and so we should be positive about everything. However, if you smoke too much, for example if you are stoned all day for a couple weeks your mind gets so used to it that it goes back to its normal ways, an the body becomes so drenched in THC that the blood sugar levels drop and you never have energy, causing agitation and a feeling of hopelessness this is the 'burn out'. Time to quit for a couple weeks or until you are energetic and clear minded again. These laws apply to Dope addicts like me, other people only od it occasionally and don't get burnt out. Religions need to support marijuana because this is the only danger imposed by it. It should hot be classified as a bad drug just because it can lead to bad drugs, for it can also lead to good things like creativity, love, and sports. Drugs that harm are the result of a general loss of control, which can be spurred by any minor weaknesses or indulgences like over eating, codependance, or alcoholism. marijuana is a plant you can't illegalize Gods creation, that is the same thing as illegalizing pornography. You have the responsibility to speak out against it if you don't like it, but to make it illegal, and cause 50,000 innocent people to go to jail for life, cause mass paranoia, a black market, and general disrespect and anger for authority and the religious right, and fines and jail sentences is so counter productive it is bound to bring you down. Open your eyes and realize you can't compare marijuana to other drugs, and more han half of us love the stuff. you cant expect it to be legal in the future from observing its massive growth in popularity in the last 30 or 10 years, so why drag on the drug war. For the vast majority of people the drug war is about marijuana and marijuana is not even a drug. It is a plant that if you smoke makes you happy, it isn't even addictive, drugs are addictive, alcohol and tobacco are drugs. get real. Take more drugs! (written in like '96) I'm pissed off how the food of the gods has such a bad rap. If I didn't have my drugs I don't know what I would be; definitely not as open minded as I am now. There's no danger to them either. Those fascist are in a catch-22 about psychedelics, because you would have to eat a ton of them to go crazy, and you would have to be crazy in the first place to eat that much at one time. I have seen a bunch of people go crazy on alcohol, but only twice have I even heard of it happening on acid. If your addicted to something that's your problem and you should go to a drug rehab center, plus suicidal people can always find ways to kill themselves; don't suppress the normal people. And Marijuana? When I quit for two months my short term memory didn't improve and my lungs didn't get any stronger. (actually, that's bullshit) Plus, all the car wrecks I have ever been in that were my fault I was totally sober. So what's your beef!? It better be damn good for all the paranoia, brothers and sisters in jail, and my tax money being spent on the DEA. |
