The Flaming Red Head
The Flaming Red Head's JournalIf someone drinks coffee everyday does caffeine make them a different person
maybe. What about sugar, maybe.
You sound very young and unsure about pot and whether it makes someone a bad person. I would say no it doesn't change who or what someone is and if you had to choose between a hard drinker or someone who regularly smokes weed, then i would tell you to choose the pot head. Potheads are less likely to be volatile, mean, and combative than alcoholics . Even if liquor is the legal drug, it is still much worse for you and society, in every way, than pot (physically, mentally, socially)
I would suggest that since you are a non smoker, that you make a rule that smoking pot will be done outside, the garage or only in a designated well ventilated area or room that you deem ok. You have that right and it helps to set boundaries in any relationship and i know couples who have that rule where one smokes and the other doesn't and they do really good and have longterm committed partnerships. But remember if you want to try pot without smoke that pot comes in edible forms, so if you don't like to smoke, you might like a try a sucker, a pastry or a cake. i even had some THC oil that you rubbed on your skin.
As for drugs and weed in particular to me it's about civil liberties, person freedom, and autonomy.
I actually think all drugs should be legal for all adults. If there is no children involved and you're not hurting anyone, the government should stay out of our bodies and homes.
I always thought that testing was more about disenfranchising whole segments of society, punishing people for making different life style choices and discouraging liberal thinking and keeping certain groups ( by arresting them and putting felonies on their record) from even being able to access a ballot box to change things.
The war on drugs is a war on our citizens. Having a standing army against our own citizens and then harassing them, confiscating their property, and then putting our own people in for profit jails to work as slaves for corporations is not what the Preamble in the Declaration of Independence is talking about.
The older I get the more impatient i get with our government (right and left) and the drugs laws they continue to pass and uphold and the whole thing looks even more unfair to me in my 40s then it did when i was a teenager.
It's hypocritical and evil and vile for pharmaceutical companies to shove amphetamines ( Adderall, Ritalin) down young children's throats and then wonder why they are doing meth or coke 10 years down the road. Most gateway drugs are handed out in elementary school by teachers, nurses, and parents. Kid's first encounter with drugs is at a very early age, ADD drugs, anti-depressants, and benzo's are given to school age children to make them more socially acceptable, easier to control inside and outside of the classroom, (this also makes share holders in drug companies rich. Who are the real drug dealers?) This sets all our children up for a lifetime of reaching for chemical solutions to life's problems and we wonder why there is a drug problem in our country.
Woody Guthrie We Need Your Fascist killing machine in New Orleans
The people walk by you
And act like they know you
Call you a crack head right to your face
While laughing
Discuss how you must be illiterate
Wrinkle their noses as if you smell
Even though you had a bath that morning
Make fun of your clothes
Homeless clothes are a reason
To not let you use the restroom
But when you bought them
You had a home
And they hung in a closet
Just a short time ago
Dying of thirst
And no where is the water free anymore
Close your eyes on a park bench
During the day
And you get a ticket
My long dead wobbly father is rolling
In his grave
Its against the law to take a nap
in the city of New Orleans
This is
Your land
Buy, Buy
Woody Guthrie
We need your
Fascist killing machine
back again
OH Wait
I forgot
all the fascist killing machines
must be in by 8pm
New rules
for a new,
New Orleans
in the new gentrified
city
we used to call big easy
I might go all Villon
on their asses
one of these days
start naming names
call me illiterate
you over rated bitches and snitches
with your commissions
and citations
and decibal meters
(edited because I fucking felt like it. I am not sorry. Not one bit and I ain't gonna explain it)
Let's invent a new religion called Sethintology
Peter can be our Ron Hubbard and we can donate cartoon money to cartoon missionaries and our daily devotional can take place on the Cartoon Network during adult swim every night.
