Is that Freedom Rock, Man?

I first smoked pot when I was 16 and like everything I was told not to do, I loved it. It was an elixir of pleasure. The lies I was told about how it was dangerous and a terrible thing to do were all false. It was these lies and others I was told as a child that made me an outlaw and a cynic.

Pot should be legal just as valium and ambient are. Marijuana is an herb and a medicine and has no down risks. All the pharmaceutical companies lobby against it because they see it as competition.

What do we as a country produce anymore? We are a bunch of middle-men. Let’s start growing and selling weed to cut into that humongous trade deficit with China.

Getting a letter from my doctor to buy medical marijuana was thrilling. Medical pot was higher grade and cheaper than the street stuff. All of our citizens should be able to participate in such pleasure.
