Fighting to support marijuana legalization
You could say I am ahead of the times.
- Lots of people who did what they thought was right despite what the laws said were ahead of their times too.
I believe that no matter how far you go back into human time you will find that governments are cruel & make up dumb rules. The authorities, be it a King or a president, set the laws that everyone else must live under. I believe it is the obligation of every human being, regardless of where you live, to make them listen to new ideas. When it comes to cannabis, there is nothing wrong with it, nothing immortal or harmful, & there never has been! The fact that weed was ever criminalized is itself a cruel & arbitrary law, that hurt a lot of people for no good reason. A person who goes to our school spent a few months in jail for possession of marijuana. This was a few years ago, however he wasn’t even selling it, he just had a few marijuana ounces on him for a get-together he was going to. This is a good man, & because of something as trivial as a misdemeanor amount of marijuana he lost months of his life. I am saying all of this as someone who doesn’t smoke cannabis, & outside of trying it out in college, I never have smoked it. This isn’t about me getting blazed, this is about standing for what’s right, & legalizing cannabis in every state in the nation is what’s right! No matter how you believe about marijuana, vote to support decriminalizing its use!
