(3,922 posts)The absurdity of the prohibition and fear campaign on marijuana has no boundaries.
Most people in this country think it's fine that just about every potential job comes with a pot test. Most drugs, harder than marijuana, are flushed quickly from ones' system. It's the pot that lingers. Why does every company in the USA test for marijuana?
Get the job and you may be soon be celebrating some BS company achievement or associates B-day at the local pub. That's OK, but God forbid you smoke a goddamn joint!
The hysteria created by this absurdity results in otherwise sensible individuals buying into the Great Pot Menace - as if decriminalizing pot (let alone actually legalizing it) will unleash a completely disfunctional society, similar to say, Congress.
I smoke pot. I love it. I wish I could smoke more. It's my choice. I don't smoke for medicinal reasons. I endorse the use of marijuana for medicinal reasons, but I don't think it should be limited for that purpose.
The laws suck, and the hysteria mob sucks. The paranoia over pot, laughable in Reefer Madness, has become policy.
There is no reasonable reason that pot is outlawed while alcohol and tobacco - far more dangerous substances - are legally sold.
I do not suggest banning alcohol and tobacco. Use your head - and leave mine alone.
