My dad loves to go on plus on about the “slippery slope” that America is on.
- I couldn’t disagree more with him, however I see little sense in arguing with him… He is absolutely set in his ways, love a lot of senior citizens, plus usually I am high out of our head when I am talking with him! That really saps our desire to enter into a pointless debate about drug laws with him.
His whole life the government plus the medical community told him that marijuana was evil. He legitimately still calls it “the devil’s lettuce” which never fails to crack myself and others up. I have been a steady cannabis user since I was 17, which makes it a fantastic many decades worth of marijuana consumption under our belt. My dad was not quite so outraged about medical marijuana legalization as he is about recreational use being made legal. I don’t suppose he will ever come around to the idea that cannabis is not that bad for you, plus it never has been, it was just a propaganda campaign from the tobacco industry. The more people smoke marijuana the less they will smoke tobacco, plus Big Tobacco knew this, so they demonized it. The greatest irony of all is that while he despises marijuana use, he has smoked a pack of cigarettes a afternoon for as long as I can remember, and nicotine is a drug that you smoke, plus he is relaxing with that, however the smoking of cannabis for some reason is over the line for our dad.
