4/20

I felt today would be a good day to discuss the American governments war on drugs with all the attention that "4/20" seems to be getting this year. An ongoing war that has cost millions of dollars, and enriched drug cartels across the world. This "holiday" or whatever you may call it has been around for years, I remember it form my highschool days and the numerous reasosons for it's exsistence. The amount of chemicals that go into pot, something to do with the time it takes to make good pot, endless amounts of dumb crap, just like the day itself. Obviously I feel that stopping people from the use of herion, cociane, crank, the extremly deadly drugs is necessary, I don't know that allowing cigarettes and liquor sales to continue agree with the war itself. I do not recall anyone dieing from pot, really I don't know of any aggressive potheads or psychotic potheads, just laid back hippies. People die from pot when it comes down to the selling,producing, and trafficking of it. If we looked at the possabilities of legalizing pot then taxing it, we could really take care of some much needed issues in the US, education, health, even freeing up some of our massive jail populations. I am also unaware of anyone that has never at least tried smoking pot, they may not do it on a regular basis but they have tried it. That fact alone that people don't take this law serious, or this drug as a serious threat is nearly enough reason to belive people would be for it's legalization.
