LEGALIZE POT!

     Personally, I don't do any drugs and I certainly don't drink. For me as an individual, I know those substances would be very limiting. However I do believe weed should be legalized ASAP, particularly if you folks are interested in perhaps putting a dent in the national debt.

     Much of why pot is illegal because William Randolph Hearst ran a smear campaign against marijuana in the 1930's to protect his interests in the timber industry because hemp was poised to replace wood as an inexpensive raw material for the manufacture of paper. Today, hemp is a less-expensive alternative to lots of different commercial materials.
   
     THC is way less harmful than booze. So why are alcoholic beverages legal? Because of all the money it rakes in.  I think if we figured out how to power our cars with alcohol (don't drink and drive!) then oil companies would do everything in their power to try to make liquor illegal, too.

    In conclusion, you may wanna post my little micro-essay above on your FaceBook walls and Tumblrs link it to your Twitter pages, etc. If you're too tired, lazy, or stoned to do it now, 4/20 would be a good time to mark your calendars for such an activity.

     In fact, at 4:20 PM on 4/20 2013, please post what I just wrote in as many places online as you can. Any and very text-entry field you find, no matter how unrelated the subject is. E-mail it to friends and family, spread the word! Make posters, youtube videos (that credit me), etc.

     Thank you, and good night!
