Face it folks, I grew up during the late '60's and '70's, my husband's nickname was Hippie, and we smoked pot! Call the cops and just try to have me arrested. (**Dr. Monkey - you can steal this picture if you desire!)
Back then, smoking pot was of course, illegal (unfortunately still is today), but we managed to have a great crowd of friends - and all in all, we did not end up brain damaged. To "get high" was a way for me to relax at the end of the day. Some interesting discussions were had and we may have tried to solve all the world problems also - but there were no fights or arguments either. Oh, I can't forget the "munchies" either.
I have argued the fact, that not one police department can tell me they have had "domestic violence" calls on people that were stoned. 99% of domestic calls involve alcohol, which remains legal! Go figure.We have reached the point in time, when someone desires to run for public office, the question of drug use comes into play. Face it folks - most of those people are from my generation - and I guarantee some have tried pot, maybe even some other illicit drugs. But that is not where they are today. Call it a phase or whatever you desire. There was a time when the challenge was to see how many people could cram into a phone booth (which do not exist anymore), or swallow goldfish - phases all.
I do not smoke regularly anymore and haven't for years. But there have been times when a toke or two puts me in a better mood. There's honesty for ya.
But to those that care...Happy 420 Day! At 4:20pm - light 'er up and run like hell!
Later...............
