http://www.upi.com/Odd_News/2010/02/21/Truckload-of-marijuana-goes-up-in-smoke/UPI-52351266777717/ I found this article from an online source called Odd News.
This story wasn't exactly what I thought it was going to be but it was still a good one.
The basics if this story is that a confiscated truckload of marijuana was taken into custody by the police. There was more than 1700 pounds worth of marijuana in the truck. So when I first started reading this article I thought it was going to be a little bit juicier but that ok, I have my own rants to give about marijuana. But it did give me a good start on what to write about in this blog. Personally I think marijuana should be legal. I really don't see any difference between marijuana and alcohol. I'm not a big drinker and I haven't even considered pot in about 15 years but I just don't see what all the hype is about. Now I know as a mother of 2, I should strongly be against the use of any drugs but this isn't exactly cocaine we're talking about. You take a few puffs, get a little buzz, eat few thousand calories then you go on with life. There's not a big addition issue, it's not any more hazardous than downing a few beers. I just think if marijuana was treated in the same aspects of alcohol there wouldn't be such a big deal... No driving while under the influence of marijuana, not being allowed to be stoned on public, etc... Anyway that's my blog, more like a little ranting about a sensitive subject but none the less it's a topic of controvery. What's your opinion?
As the song goes..."everybody must get stoned"... (just kidding) =)

I agree! The only reason they do not make it completley legal is because it is a weed and can grow anywhere. If they could control it and tax it they would make it legal. But, they want to be the one growing it and marketing it! You should read my blog on how they are trying to make Missouri another legal medical marijuana state.
ReplyDeleteThe one thing that concerns me is doesn't this led to the other heavier drugs? Much like an alcholic who starts out drinking beer the moves on to the harder liquer. I would like to pose a question: which would you rather meet on the highway, a drunk who cant see straight or someone who is high that see's five cars?
ReplyDeletePersonally I don't want to meet either.
