So I'm still held a wee bit speechless by yesterdays events so I decided to blow off some steam with a break of sorts. If you're feeling rather overwhelmed by yesterdays news or generally just all the crap...come on in and talk about whatever seems good to you.

Let's just call yesterday an invitation to fill a bowl with cush and pass it around a circle of those you love.

Today let's play with this headline from the Washington Post:

Meth Abuse Cited as Top Drug Problem for Law Enforcement Agencies Increase in Arrests Has Taxed Other County Departments; White House Says Marijuana Is Still No. 1 Woe

I guess what bugs me most about this is that, yes...a whole shit load of Americans smoke weed...this is an obvious reason why the drug probably shouldn't be illegal among many others but marijuana doesn't make you a tweaker with acne, rotting teeth, and unpredictable behavior.

It's like saying that Ebola isn't a problem until it's as big a pandemic as Herpes.

I gotta problem with that and so do other people.

Would it be so risky for the democrats to embrace an initiative to legalize weed, possibly even taxing it (even though most would certainly just grow it and I personally think sin taxes are evil)?

There is certainly plenty of research to indicate the reasons weed were made illegal are largely unfounded and it really isn't much more than a plant anyway...

Shouldn't it be classed as an herbal supplement rather than say...a drug that not only puts you in prison but also puts makers of pipes or bongs in prison?

Perhaps a fun campaign issue for the progressives and democrats would be to embrace this issue now. I'm kinda curious, based on morals or whatever, what people think about the issue. I'd poll but most of you probably wouldn't vote.

Let's play nice together...unless Felix get's after me for my impractical ideas or whatever but talk about this or whatever but let's just chat for a bit about something fun.
