My first experience around pot involved an ultimate Frisbee team I’d joined through my university.  I don’t want to brag, but I’m friggin awesome at Frisbee.  I decided to keep those skills to myself, though, when the ‘athletes’ I met up with ended up being bored, potbellied (no pun intended) freshmen who sat (or were lying down) in the park, lazily passing a Frisbee around between them while coughing up a lung from what I was told was some “pretty…*cough*… good… *hack*… weed …*cough*”. It doesn’t sound that bad, but I decided to leave when one of the guys, too tired to even care, rolled onto his side, unzipped his pants and whipped out his floppy pickle to give the grass a golden shower. He later fell asleep with the Frisbee over his face. Go team!!

I’m not anti-marijuana. I honestly believe that the result depends on the person, just like it would with alcohol or any prescription medication. The Dutch have legalized the stuff and they are benefiting from that decision. Teens even smoke less weed in the Netherlands whilethe  country’s marijuana use as a whole is equivalent to that of the United States.

Marijuana is definitely a hot topic. Does it help back pain? Does it turn your brain into an egg (Happy belated Easter btw. I never posted anything that day =(…)? If we legalize the stuff will it help the economy? Does it bring out the artist in all of us? Or does it bring us one step closer to a life of fast food and 80s cartoons?
