Here is a story for you guys.
In California it is legal to have on you and smoke a certain amount of marijuana, I don’t know the exact amount but it might be enough to fill up a very small bowl. Anyways, my story comes from a businesswoman that had just returned from Afghanistan. She went to California for a little R&R and was on the beach smoking a cigarette. She looks around at people and notices a guy putting some marijuana in a bowl and lighting it up. The guy smokes it for a while and a cop comes walking up, the cop says to the guy, “Hey, you got anymore of that?”, the guys says, “No officer this is all I had sorry man.”, the officer says thats OK and tells him to enjoy the rest of his day. The cop then walks over to the woman and writes her a $150 dollar fine for “smoking a cigarette on the beach”. I don’t get it, can anyone enlighten me? From what I can tell, it is illegal to smoke cigarettes on the beach but you can smoke marijuana if you want to?
On a side note, the only reason I know for not legalizing marijuana is the fact that there is no way that the government can tax it. Because of the fact that there are so many ways that it makes its way into the US. I don’t think the issue is whether it is “right or wrong”, I think it is the fact that the government can’t get “their share” of the money moving through. No one can really say that being a “pot head” is right or wrong, that is a life choice, the only time I would say it is wrong is when being a “pot head” gets in the way of your job, family, health, friends, and responsibilities. When smoking stops you and/or keeps you from what you need to do for any of those things, then it is time to stop smoking, in my opinion.
