Scaredy you old stoner, like you said, Pot is ALREADY LEGAL in California. That’s what 420 is all about. If you’re not in possession of more than 2 lbs (in some counties more), you’re not going to be convicted of any crime. If you have a medical marijuana card, which you can get for the asking, they can’t even confiscate your weed.
If you haven’t watched Marijuana Inc on CNBC, buy a vowel, and do it. You’ll be amazed. If you really want a thrill, search for marijuana on Craigslist. There’s a guy who’ll bring it to your door at the going rate, if you’ve got your doc’s permission.
I’m a pretty straight arrow, politically conservative in every way. Like the great WFB, I see no reason for me to tell you what is best for you, as long as there is no harm to me, and there isn’t unless one tortures logic.
I have no desire to become a pot smoker. I’ve observed it destroy one’s will to accomplish. That’s why slackers are slackers. At the same time, someday when I’m an old codger, I’d like to go out in the desert with a group of trustworthy friends, drop some acid, and gaze at the stars, at least once. Hey, if it’s good enough for Cary Grant, it’s good enough for me.
BTW, the tobacco countries have been ready to start selling weed for decades. They’ve already done the branding, packaging, and marketing prep work. They’re just waiting for the legal obstacles to be removed.
I can remember thirty years ago walking down the street in San Diego, and smelling pot everywhere. It certainly was omnipresent in high school and college. Today, I never have that experience, unless I happen to be in OB. Maybe it’s just me.
