And once again comes the International Cannabis Culture Holiday or Reefer Day or Global Ganja Day or .... damn, what was I talking about?? (Wiki: 4/20)
America, of all places, is actually leading in the world on this as legalisation is proceeding apace and final acceptance in Federal law appears inevitable. In this regard, Greece is far behind and the penalties I understand are severe. I love getting high but not so much that I'm willing to go to jail for it so it doesn't seem likely that any reefer will be coming my way any time soon. Alas!
It's quite remarkable in America as recently a poll revealed the majority of them support legalisation. Some day, if they ever get a representative government, it might actually happen. As shown by the recent vote on background checks for gun ownership, the current government is comprised of spineless weasels who do nothing other than vote the will of the highest bidder. If you want to find a prostitute in Washington, one need look no farther than the nearest congressman / congresswoman. Congress today is one excellent reason for getting high!
Of course it's not good to smoke anything but there is relatively little harm in smoking marijuana so long as one is sensible about it. If you smoke it at the level of a Rastafarian, your lungs will get so blocked up by resin that they will look like the bottom of a bong. If you ever thought it was a good idea to drink the water in a bong then you will know why this is a very bad thing to do to your lungs.
However, relative to cigarettes, any harm from marijuana is trivial and that naturally explains why America hosts the largest tobacco cartels and has been so aggressively opposed to marijuana. Nicotine has been demonstrated to be one of the most addictive substances on the planet and has killed millions and millions of people. Thus far, there is no evidence that marijuana has ever killed or even injured anyone. (Wiki: Nicotine)
So, smoke a fattie for me wherever you are. Enjoy that buzz but, as always, don't bogart that joint, my friend! (Lyrics: Don't Bogart That Joint by Country Joe and the Fish)
