Prohibition on weed is just as bad (if not worse) than the prohibition was for alcohol in 1920s. Too many people get killed or put in prison because of it and it limits our police force from focusing on worse crimes. To much time and tax money is spent on fighting this war, when that time is money should be spent elsewhere. Also if it was legalized and regulated, then it would reduce gang crime, we could tax it and use that money to help our in debt government, it would make it harder for youth to get access to it, etc. |
Why is that? Weed tought me a lot of how perception and the brain works and tied in nicely with cognitive sience I was studying at the time. It was even part of text book experiments although they weren't practiced anymore. My mother actually did have to smoke pot in class once for an assignment while studying psychology.
Use of extacy has opened me up, and helped break down the walls I had constructed around myself. It is still used in therapy although underground nowadays.
Apart from that it is a lot of fun to see things from a different perspective. All used in moderation and good company ofcourse.
