Pot: is there a blacker kettle?
Backstory
The U.S. is taking baby steps toward legalizing marijuana for personal use. Call it medicinal or recreational, the trend is definitely leaning that way in some areas. It will become another source of tax revenue, just like the rest of our addictions: alcohol, tobacco, and fossil fuels.Thoughts?

Making it legal takes it off the black market ...Wench says,
I hate to say it, but decriminalizing marijuana might actually help a little with drug wars in Mexico and solve the problem of prisons filled with people whose only offense was being caught with too many ounces of it. Other countries have decriminalized marijuana and treated drug use as an addiction, not a crime, with remarkable success. Personally, I hate stoners. I hate the way people behave when they're high. But I do think there are worse things in the world to legalize.MO_Thoughts2 says,
I agree with CF and Wench. But honestly, I want it legalized for another reason .... it's such a beautiful plant and it would look amazing in that one corner of my yard.Believe says,
I agree with all of the above.Wench says,
I'm not gonna lie, stem-tea sounds pretty awesome right now.DynamicDbytheC says,
I have some medical marijuana in my refrigerator. James used it twice during chemo and didn't like the "fuzzy" way his mind felt. It was costly even with insurance. How this comment came out of your memoir makes me think I dipped into his stuff. Anyway, love the memoir.
