(15,359 posts)it has on some of the old rednecks I know. The area of Idaho and eastern Washington state I live in are extremely weed unfriendly, but they lost the fight to keep weed shops out of the nearest Washington town. The city council shot down attempts to ban the shops, but one old white wing hag wouldn't give up. There is a provision that a petition with enough signatures could have made them vote on it again, and she hoped to have enough support to keep the shops out.
This lady got shot down in flames and couldn't get anywhere near enough signatures and wrote a really bitter letter to the editor. Of course she keeps using the word drugs instead of weed or marijuana, because you know, it's no different than heroin or crack, like they want everyone to think.
She even claimed to have some guy scream at her over it, saying her was going to use drugs no matter what anyone said and slammed the door in her face. Now that's an obvious lie! No stoner said that to her, nor would they. Most are perfectly happy to see the cops nail people for the dangerous stuff, we just want to be left alone to enjoy our weed, like everyone was really doing all along anyway.
The scariest thing about it all is that with it legal, not much of anything is going to change. Aside from a little more tax revenue in their county anyway. That lets us say, see, just like we've been telling you dumbfucks for 40 years or more!
We just had a little reunion bash for guys that worked for the beer distributor I was with for several years. I know a couple of us like to smoke and really wanted to roll up a couple bombers and break them out and ask if anyone wanted to join me! I resisted the temptation though. I have actually urged some of my friends to not be to obnoxious and rub it in their faces, no matter how much they deserve it. Better to enjoy it and not antagonize the assholes.
