Writing openly and candidly about marijuana use does cause one to pause... In fact, is causes most people to freeze right up and not open their mouths. I mean, pot is mostly illegal, and isn't stoner culture something you outgrow once you're "an adult"? And I don't even smoke very often... even though, uh, I am high right now...
But here is thing... I was at an MMW show last month (and talk about burnin... I'll get to that later) and, you know, I really wanted to smoke just a little bit of weed, just enough to help me chill out and enjoy the music... relax into the vibe of the show. And just about everyone there is drinking alcohol - presumably sharing my goal to some degree. Ah, but to smoke, you have to be sneaky or clever. And worry about getting caught... like you're doing something wrong.
Something doesn't add up... Liquor can be so much more harmful... Indulging in pot is way less detrimental than booze... Why is it this way? Why is marijuana so feared... and what can I do about it? Sometimes I worry about just trying to talk about it in intelligent, reasonable fashion...
BUT NO MORE! Time to go public... Out in the open, I am here to say, um, I am here to tell you... uh, oh wow man - I forgot....
OH NO! See that... SEE! First entry and I'm already using a stoner cliche!!! This is the problem. Intelligent, successful professionals smoke marijuana everyday and lead happy healthy lives... but all you hear about are the Otto the bus driver types. So, time join NORML and see what can be done about it....
