What I don’t know

Legalization

There has been a lot of talk about Legalizing weed in America, I mean Canada did it. So the pressure is on for us to do it, I mean we have to be better than Canada, I mean ever since we were colonies we had the French and Indian war, hatred for them is bred into our countries, but hey somehow we’re allies, despite the big mans words about NAFTA. But anyways they did it, Colorado did it, and most of America is like, “What the Fuck America, where is my Weed, I want Weed.” Since Colorado did it then most modern states, wait before I say that is there anyone in here with ties to Idaho, South Dakota, Nebraska, or Kansas? Those states have made no progress to legalize weed by any means, yes, only 4 states have done nothing. I would have thought that Texas would be one of the last places to legalize weed in any way, but hey y’all can get a medicinal card if you have “Intractable epilepsy” whatever the fuck that means, have you ever met someone with “intractable epilepsy” me neither, I don’t know what that is but everything about it sounds awful. On top of that Texas thought it was so bad that they would give them, only them, Weed. So if you have it I’m sorry but hey on the upside they are the only ones who get Weed in Texas. The rest of us have to stick to CBD. I don’t know exactly what CBD is but supposedly it makes you feel relaxed, I’ve known multiple people that have tried it and they told me nothing happened. If that’s true Texas is just robbing you of your money, thats the real truth here. Did you know a majority of Americans have smoked weed, that was shocking for me. Especially since it is still illegal in most states, and I guarantee most people probably did it in college, I’m looking at you mom and dad, is there something I should have known? For the most part anyways since these states have legalized weed shit hasn’t gone to hell, which is what anti-legalization lobbyists are saying. Since I was little my parents ingrained weed as a bad drug into my brain, they never actually gave me specifics they were just like, “Drugs are bad and they will ruin your life.” And I was like, “I like my life so I’m going to listen to you” but since then more and more I’m becoming to accept Weed as a potential for legalization. Every study that is done is always talking about how it’s not as bad as they once thought and once the stigma around it goes away and people stop believing that Weed and K-2 Spice are the same drug, it’ll happen. I’m still not going to do it because it still messes with my brain, and I love my brain. But I’ll just sit back and watch as America starts to smell from garbage and pollution to weed, I think that just as nerds won the culture war a long time ago, before I was alive, the stoners are winning the drug war. I feel like it all started with the Gen X. Our parents, or mine anyway. The baby boomers took all the jobs and raised them with Helicopter parenting, which gave them more freedom to do what they wanted, and Gen Xer’s without a job and chilling in college were like fuck it and started smoking weed. While most of them quit that wave had started and because of them we are seeing what we see now.  Because of AMerica’s long tradition of importing more than they export we are in massive debt, and weed has the potential to be a multi-billion dollar market per state. Take colorado for example in 2017 their weed market was worth 1.5 billion and they have seen increases in products of 25% in 2015-16 and 16-17, so Imagine that, but nationwide, and they amount of infrastructure you could do, the amount of reformation possible in our schools and prisons, we could start to pay off out so big a number that I can’t keep track of debt. And do it all while the whole nation is thoroughly toasty.

Thank you.
