Legalization of Marijuana: What is the Social Impact?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
The Purpose of Life is to wake up. To catch a glimpse of the Divine.
To get high in a moral sense. This is my hope. But my friend Mike
Stone is more pessimistic. I post his missive below and welcome
response from any of you have anecdotal answers to the question
posed above.

I think the cultural effect of legal cannabis is horrendous.
I do not use it, although I have tried it in high school and again once in my 20′s.
I have two older brothers who both started on grass, became hooked, and moved to other drugs. Both ended up in prison due to crimes they committed while high. One completely fried his brain. He’s dead.
When I was 19, I worked in a bar. Three of the bartenders smoked a lot of grass and ended up murdering some guy because of a drug deal. They cut off his head, which was never found. These were young guys in their 20′s. One guy turned against the other two and got off. I’m sure the other two were both sentenced to life.
I’ve seen drugs ruin so many lives I can’t count. A guy I went to high school with was the best running back in the state, one of the best in the country. He could have sailed through college on a football scholarship and turned pro. Instead, he got hooked on grass and never went anywhere.
At that time, nobody’s parents knew what the heck was going and nobody seemed to care. People were so zombied out by television, they seemed powerless to do anything.
I’m in Vegas where pot is legal. If Disneyland is the happiest place on earth, then Las Vegas is the slimiest place on earth. The entire city is built on the concept of fleecing people out of their money.
I went by the pool at the Golden Nugget yesterday afternoon. It was like a scene out of Sodom and Gomorrah, drunken, half-naked fools everywhere. Women with hardly anything on.
I admit, it produces a momentary thrill, but at the same time, it’s completely disgusting. Modesty and charm are like ancient artifacts. The saddest part is all the children I see here and the foreign tourists. Adults, who don’t know any better, bring their young children with them to Las Vegas and they’re exposed to all the decadence.
I passed a Japanese girl on the street yesterday. She looked to be around 21 and she was pulling her luggage behind her. She had a look of immense sadness like she was ready to cry. She probably saved her money for over a year to come to Las Vegas and found out real fast what a waste her dream vacation turned out to be. I’m still thinking about her.
People don’t know how to be human anymore. They’re so drugged up from grass, alcohol, chemtrails, medications, and chemicals in their food and water that they can’t think straight. Then they’re bombarded from all sides by pornography, fake news, illegal immigration and Hollywood filth. American culture is dead if it ever even existed.
There are fewer and fewer places for people to turn. The Catholic Church, which built Western Civilization and which has accomplished more good for more people than any organization in the history of the world, has been completely taken over and subverted by Communist scum since Vatican II. The New Mass is not even valid. We are truly in the end times as prophesied in the Bible and as foretold at the Lady of Fatima apparitions. Sister Lucia – the real Sister Lucy, not the impostor Sister Lucy – was one of the seers at Fatima and she even admitted that we are in the end times.
It seems as if the only way to survive in the world today is to detach from the world as much as possible. I think the solitude that your latest essayist, Evelyn, experiences on her farm is one of the reasons she is so clear-headed and loving.

I too smoke cannabis in my late teens/early 20s and got tired of it and quit. Then I got sick with a chronic illness that has a lot of pain, nausea, weakness, depression….guess what…cannabis helped with all of that. Personally, I nor anyone else I knew of (back in the day) when on to “hard drugs” nor were we considered lazy folk…most were doctors, lawyers, police, business owners. Guess it depends if you prefer to get help with chronic illness with a natural herb…or pharma. No one has ever died from cannabis…thousands die yearly from opiates.
Why don’t you answer this question by checking the records before hemp became prohibited? There were no major problems from the use of hemp. Many say that oil companies knocked out hemp for financial gain. I believe them.
“At that time, nobody’s parents knew what the heck was going and nobody seemed to care. People were so zombied out by television, they seemed powerless to do anything.”
There ought to be a law.
