THE HISTORY OF WEED COURTESY OF WEEDS

I'm no toker but our country's laws against cannibis and, particularly hemp, seem moronic and irrational in the extreme. The idea that anyone is in prison at all for smoking or selling pot just seems like the biggest waste of public resources and abuse of justice. Pot is clearly no more dangerous than alcohol. I'd even argue it's less so.

I mean, I know my argument is anecdotal but I have never seen a pothead get belligerent and beat his wife and kids or indulge in a bit of gay bashing. Sure, 7-Elevens will probably see an uptick in munchies being shoplifted, but I hardly think we should be enforcing draconian laws to protect us from Pringles robbers

Anyway, time to get off my soapbox. Enjoy!
