Shit, I meant "A" high thought, but whatever...

Today after a few puffs out of the bub, I was sitting and thinking about weed being legal, and realized that it will never happen. I've seen a good number of posts saying how there's so many beneficial things that could come from weeds legalization, but I don't really think there is.

First off, anything to do with hemp (remember this is just an opinion) doesn't add to why weed should be legal. Yes I understand, and agree, with all the benefits large production of hemp could bring. The rope, fabric, oils, possible fuels, and much more durable alternative for normal paper hemp could provide would all be beneficial to society. But from what I understand hemp mainly comes from male plants, and the weed we all love to smoke comes from the female. The point being, you don't smoke hemp, if you did it wouldn't get you high, and it would be very easy to legalize (or stop the restrictions or whatever it is) hemp without legalizing the female buds we all want. (although this would still be quite the challenge seeing as how hemp production would take over many other industries, which would do anything in their power to keep it from happening.)

Now as for actual weed, many will argue of the medicinal value it has. My dad couldn't even get a bite down due to the nausea and stomach sick feelings he had from cancer and the treatment involved with it, If it weren't for the weed my mom had to get for him illegally( this was 8 years ago ), His last few months would have been much more unbearable than they needed to be. I know weed helps so many people with their illnesses and problems, but do you really think that's enough reason for the government to want to make it legal? Percocets help lots of people who have chronic pain get through the day, but do you think it's going to be an over the counter drug anytime soon?

Realistically, I just don't see it ever happening. What we really need to fight for is the legalization of hemp, and working to make medicinal marijuana accepted in every state, and by the federal government. That way those who really do need weed for their illnesses can get it easily without having to worry about being persecuted. Imagine dispensary's being a common store in every town. With the proper persuasion and teamwork, I could see it happening, but absolute legalization of weed just so people can smoke it and get high, I doubt it. But if all this were actually to happen, decriminalization of marijuana would just come naturally, at least that's what a believe.

So GC, what do you think? I'm open to all comments, remember this is just my opinion, don't think i wouldn't love to see weed legal( except for the fact that shitty bud would probably flood the streets).
