“They are chill, sleepy, eat a lot and generally don’t cause much trouble.”
Gang-bangers smoke a lot of weed. It doesn’t just make you mellow, it also can make you psychotic.
Weed was made illegal for a reason. It got to the point where all people wanted to do was “sit around the house, get high and watch the tube” so to speak.
The fact these people blazed up in public speaks to the apparent problems, as the writer points out. The whole weed legalization argument was based on “What people do in their own homes is none of the government’s business”. Well, this wasn’t anyone’s home.
“Weed was made illegal for a reason.”
Yes, to easily arrest people who were against the corrupt government. Also to keep alcohol/tobacco taxes coming in.
Every negative you can say about pot can be found even worse in alcohol, tobacco and Rx pills. Unless government bans ALL the far more dangerous/addictive/toxic substances too, pot prohibition is just another obvious case of government corruption for money and control.
It’s not for our health, it’s not for road safety, it’s not for productivity, it’s not for the children. It’s just another case of robbery and citizen abuse. Period, end of story.
Not to mention that all who imbibe of MJ are also unable to buy or carry a firearm in Colorado.
