The Global Commission on Drug Policy has issued its report, and they recommend legalizing marijuana. The commission includes some pretty big names: The Prime Minister of Greece, American right wing creep George Schultz, Richard Branson (the real life person who is based on the fictional character Bruce Wayne), a few former world leaders who have nothing better to do with their time and a couple of writers who are sort of famous. None of them are scientists or have any specific knowledge in the field, but I’ll accept their findings anyway because, of course, I agree with them.
It's Not Just For Hippies Anymore
Marijuana is a wonder drug. It calms people down, reduces stress and aggression, transforms moderately funny movies into rolling on the floor comedy extravaganzas, and turns a bag of microwave popcorn and a six pack of Miller into a gourmet delight. It also probably reduces highway fatalities although it may well increase the number of fender-benders – hippies are worse than old grandmothers when it comes to driving directly in front of you at half the speed limit.
Anyway, the report said that the war on drugs has been a total failure, that drug use will never be eradicated by its being illegal, and politicians (who secretly know how harmless marijuana really is) should stop with their self-righteous bullshit and get with the program.
Will they? Of course not. People who smoke pot tend to think about issues like the economy, war and peace, civil rights and the environment when they vote, if they vote. People who don’t smoke marijuana are all convinced it is the gateway drug to hell, and are prepared to crucify any politician who suggests otherwise.
Someday, I hope, things will change. In the meantime, go ahead and spark up, everybody! You will live longer and be happier.
