i think this all really belies the real issue, the more significant way in which marijuana legalization was 'botched'. the real problem here is that legalization was approached from a medical standpoint. it really kind of pisses me off that this is the case, and will likely set precedent for future legalization efforts, should they come. i believe that the issue should have been approached from the angle of conscious liberty. having said that, i totally understand that it is a far less compelling angle to take with regard to convincing skeptics or naysayers. its the way it should have been done though. even if it had been pushed along side the medical debate, it would have done wonders for the future of personal, physical, and mental/conscious liberty. i believe i should be free to do with my body and state of consciousness what i goddamn well please. i take issue with anyone trying to legislate what i can and cannot do with my own fucking body. its the most personal, important, and intrinsic form of freedom there is. sure, approaching legalization from the medical avenue was surely the most effective way to get shit done quickly, and most convincingly. i think in the end, it will unintentionally result in much more difficult campaigns for future drug legalization efforts. that said, im not much of a head. i dont care much about weed, and surely this informs my opinion. also, i known this is kinda off topic, but its some shit that really kind of pisses me off. it is what it is though.
