Let's Get Real about a few things

In the early 70's a guy I knew quite well, got 5 years for possessing pot. He was a highly decorated Marine Vietnam vet. It ruined his life. His cellmate was in for armed robbery. My friend was in for getting high.

I know a guy who has a PhD degree in agronomy, he's spent much of his career perfecting hybrid strains of marijuana. and he's also has worked on other cash crops, corn, wheat, sunflowers.

I know doctors, lawyers, accountants, account executives, stock brokers and responsible Americans (and Canadians) from every walk of life who smoke pot on a regular basis and have for years.

You know who the most screwed up driggies I know are? The people who take legal prescription drugs. Ever meet the nice lady from across the street who pops Valium all day? Wasted, toasted and dangerous when she drives to the shopping center. When she gets home she has a cocktail with her hubby on top of all those nice pills. You think her kids don't notice?

Two guys I grew up with drank themselves to death by their mid 30's, they didn't smash a car up, they just sat and drank and drank and drank. I've never heard of,or met anyone who killed themselves slowly by smoking pot.

29 states and the District of Columbia have legalized Medical marijuana, 8 states have legalized recreational pot, Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington as well as our nation’s capital – Washington D.C. And Vermont is next.You know who buys legal pot? Every demographic group from 21 on up.

And now the Feds are going to crack down on legal pot...what a waste of time and money.

Pot is not the problem. Opioids are a huge problem and they are legal. 

Another thing...

Do you think that if there was an outright ban, nationwide, on abortion, that there wouldn't be any abortion? If you were poor you'd head to a back alley abortionist if you were a rich woman, you'd fly off to somewhere you could get a nice, safe abortion in a clinic or hospitable. 

Do really believe if some little Susie Cream cheese white girl going to the University of Alabama got herself knocked up by a football player name LaShon Johnson, her mamma and daddy wouldn't ship her off to somewhere where where the little embarrassment could be quietly taken care of. If you don't think that would happen you are naive or just dumb as a post. 

Do you really think religious women don't use birth control?

Do you think that evangelical couples only have sex for procreation?

Time to wake up and grow up.
