I have an idea and it's the PERFECT answer to gang violence... LET'S GIVE THEM ALL MARIJUANA! After all, it'll make them mellowwwww, right?
According to what I'm seeing in this thread, the antidote to gang violence in So. Cal. is weed. Because you know, they're NOT out there rolling blounts before they go looking for trouble, nope uh uh. If they were, they'd be mellowwwwww, eating Doritos, and playing xBox 360 right? Right?
Over 1,000 gangs in L.A. County, and most of them stoned all the time. Makes you wonder why there's so much gang violence in So. Cal., doesn't it? Seeing as how weed makes you mellowwww?
It makes you mellow if you're predisposed to be mellow, as I'm assuming most DU'ers are, and it makes you other things if you're predisposed to be other things.
A couple lines of meth used to have me sitting on my ass while a few bonghits would have me mowing the front and back lawns, edging the sidewalk in front, cleaning it all up, and then starting on the garage. What you think you know about drugs and how they affect everyone isn't always how it works in real life.
