Just saying...



All of a sudden there has been a lot of news programming dedicated to the legalization of marijuana. I'm way too out of the loop to know exactly why this is but I definitely think it is a good thing that the country is starting to seriously coonsider this! The adverse effects of weed are pretty minimal and comparable to the use of alcohol and legal prescription narcotics.

In America, everything is sensationalized. Sex, drugs and rock and roll. I think the government needs to start pciking their battles a big more. Holland has long legalized the drug and their consumption rates are much lower than the States. Making pot taboo doesn't help anyone.

Alsoooo, if 60-70% of the Mexican drug cartel money comes from marijuana sales, isn't this a no brainer? Legalizing pot would cripple the cartel and cut down on the influx of crime that spills over onto American soil.



Ok, done ranting. Happy Saturday!!!!
