I've more or less covered this topic in my other blog posts, but there are people I haven't mentioned. They will be mentioned in this blog post.
To start off, I want to say that now that the Liberal party is in charge WITH A MAJORITY GOVERNMENT (laws can be passed easier), we're in a good place. Trudeau already said he'd legalize marijuana and he used it as a bargaining chip during his campaign. The Liberal Party of Canada website says, and I quote: "We will legalize, regulate, and restrict access to marijuana."
However, the United States of America have more of a problem. Currently, four states have access to recreational and medicinal marijuana legally. That's because there are many different opinions in the U.S. and most of the state governors decide to listen to all the bad ones without giving the good ones a chance.
For example, the American Society of Addiction Medicine (nothing good about weed will ever come out of this Society but then again people CAN'T REALIZE THAT) says: "[We] dismiss medical use because of concerns about dependence and adverse health effects." Clearly, these guys have lost to the game of BELIEVING EVERYTHING THEY SEE WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY.
Oh, you forgot why am I right? See blog posts 2 and 4 if I haven't deleted them. I'm right. You're wrong.
FDA (Food and Drug Administration - they don't approve of people drinking fresh milk and therefore do not approve of anything good in this world) says: "Cannabis is associated with numerous harmful health effects. Significant aspects such as content, production, and supply are unregulated. [We] approve of the prescription of two products (not for smoking) that have pure THC in a small controlled dose as the active substance." Well, at least they're on the right track. The FDA controls most of the issues with legal/illegal foods and substances in the U.S. Two turns into three turns into four TURNS INTO A MILLION AND FINALLY WHEN IT'S 4:20 A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HALLUCINATING CAN ALL GET TOGETHER IN PEACE FOR TEA AND COOKIES AND
I am getting ahead of myself. Next!
John Hickenlooper, governor of Colorado: "Now I look at how far we've come, and I think there's a real possibility that we'll have a system that works... if you eliminate the black market, make it harder for kids to get marijuana. We can put more money into education for kids."
I WOULD GLADLY LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT TUITION IS INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE. CARRY ON.
Seriously! If John wants to put the money towards getting a post-secondary education, I think the parents would be much happier. Also, he said that with a system implemented, teenagers will find it harder to access marijuana. THAT'S TRUE! ALL OF IT IS TRUE! GO TO UNIVERSITY OR COLLEGE, KIDS! LEGALIZE WEED! (Who would have ever thought those two sentences would be right next to each other?)
Jay Inslee, governor of Washington “This is an all-hands-on-deck effort to make sure we keep kids safe. We want every retailer to know that kids are off limits and every parent to know how to talk to kids about why marijuana isn’t safe."
If it's all for the kids, then why not?! We're important! (Even though we're teenagers and not kids... I still call myself a kid... moving on). If these measures are created for our safety, and people who NEED marijuana (and who are over 21, lucky ducks) can get it, THEN WHY IS IT A PROBLEM?! These state governors didn't make these decisions overnight. They have been thought out, carefully elaborated, and will now be strictly enforced.
I think all we need now is to SHOW THE WORLD that WEED IS A GOOD THING and FOR ME TO STOP WRITING IN CAPS it's six in the morning.
| LOOK HOW PRETTY AND GLOWING IT LOOKS. |
UGH.
People need to receive better public education. That's it, really. People need to know that weed does not have the bad properties of a drug. We also need to legalize it, but again, we're waiting on Trudeau. UNTIL 2017 (I think).
BYE.
