just the same as most of you veterans here at the RIU community. i remember playing "hey mister" outside of a gas station for a pack of cigarettes. ive had my fair share of beer/liquor. couldnt get over the nast hangovers and throwing up if i had one too many.
as god as my witness, ive been sick from pot ONE time out of years of smoking.
it wasnt even the green that made me sick, im positive it was because i had the munchies and decided to inhale and entire fresh box of cinnamon toast crunch cereal. it was the family size bulk box from costco. needless to say, you eat that much cereal in a half hour and manage to not throw up... then i can only assume you must be kobyashi, the japanese hot dog champ... roflmao.
either way it all boils down to, social stigmatism and dollar signs. when alcohol or cigarette corporations start getting involved with legalization, we'll reap the benefits. but until then, the legal drugs, alcohol and tobacco, wear the crown that gives them the power to rule the world with a tyrannical iron fist.
playing the kid trump card, like others before me have stated, is purely the sympathy bit. had my parents not allowed me to drink alcohol at home under responsible supervision, i am 100% i may have been an unchecked alcoholic and possibly a drop out with a minimum wage job for the rest of my life(no offense to the drop out kids here, many of my friends are in that position but have sound jobs with an agreeable standard of living.)
ill say it one more time in closing.
social stigmatism and dollar signs. the move to legalize marijuana in present morals of elder society, which i may add is the generation that controls politics...
who hold the majority of votes in the us and around the world.. senior citizens. maybe when we are 75-80, we can get it done.
its crazy!
