Living in Georgia the last 7 years of my life, I've noticed many things wrong with the current situation in regards to the connotation of weed. In the eyes of the old heads weed is exactly what they thought it was. Just a sinful drug that leads to dubious and lewd behavior of the youth they've so desperately cultivated into thinking exactly the same. This is just not the case. In my own experience smoking weed outside of the use of medicinal benefits, (strictly just to get high), is nothing more than a couple friends hanging out in my bedroom sharing a bowl eating some food we picked up at the dollar general an hour or two earlier. If I'm by myself it's just me taking some rips from the bong and being glued to my bed watching the ceiling fan with some music in the background. I know this isn't the case for everyone. However, I just cant imagine the sessions of others differing so greatly from the mild mannered symptoms mine have as to being something that just simply cant be legalized in the state of Georgia or any other deep south states. I'm sincerely hoping my generation (Youths born in and around 1996) break away from the idea that marijuana is sinful and of no use to the common man, an idea that is damn near instilled as early as possible here in the south. In my graduating class of 2014 far too many kids saw the sheriff's office because they were booked for possession or other weed related sundries. A victimless crime throwing a curveball into the lives of teens in the state. And this is just one perspective! A countless amount of adults who enjoy the benefits of herb are finding themselves jailed for something that could be resolved with just a smidge of legislation and open mindedness. I'm curious as to anyone else's thoughts on the matter. I see recreational legalization being a long way off in my home state and it's neighbors, but my god it will be much appreciated and alleviating when it finally arrives.
