Re: So let's talk about Cannabis
I agree with you here.
I'm not sure why there is still such a huge stigma about marijuana. Sure it makes you act kind of goofy but think of the benefits to the snack food industry!
People smoking marijuana don't usually get into any trouble because they're in their basement playing Nintendo. I've known a few people with anger issues who use marijuana to balance themselves out and relax.
Typhoid and I are semi-regular recreational marijuana users and it suits both of our lifestyles just fine. I've smoked weed throughout university and still maintained a 3.5 GPA.
While it's not legal in BC, the authorities are really lax on it. I've actually known someone who could have been busted for intent to sell but the cop just took his weed and drove him home. Cops will sometimes take your weed from you when you're smoking in public but usually they just tell you to go home. I've never heard of anyone hear being arrested for having marijuana. But people do get arrested for growing it.
It all seems kind of silly, since it's far less bad for you than alcohol. I think the only issue is that it makes you okay with being lazy which can be a bad thing for people who already have little motivation or direction.
